Club career

[edit]

C.D. Guadalajara

[edit]

Bravo was brought to the Guadalajara youth system by José Luis Real. He made his debut with the senior team under manager Jorge Dávalos on 17 February 2001 against Tigres UANL in a 0–0 draw.[3][4] Bravo became a regular starter for the team during the 2002 Apertura,[5] playing 15 games and scoring 6 goals. He won the tournament's Best Rookie award.[6]

Bravo finished the 2005 Clausura as joint-second top goalscorer of the league with 12 goals. His performances helped him win the tournament's Best Forward award.[7]

In 2006, Bravo participated in a successful season for Guadalajara, helping the team win the Apertura championship title, Bravo scored the leading goal in the first leg match of the Apertura finals, which ended in a 1–1 draw against Toluca, winning 3–2 on aggregate.[8] Bravo finished as the club's top scorer for the tournament with 8 goals, helping him win the tournament's Best Forward award.[9]

Bravo scored in his first appearance in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup against W Connection F.C. as well as in the first match of the semifinals against D.C. United. In the first leg of final, on 8 April 2007, he scored a brace against Pachuca to a 2–2 draw. Guadalajara lost the finals following a penalty shootout. He finished as joint-top scorer with four goals in the tournament. For the 2007 Clausura, he won the Golden Boot for most goals in the league with 11 goals in 17 matches,[10] winning the Best Forward award again.[9]

On 26 April 2008, Bravo scored his 100th goal in a 4–0 victory over Puebla, becoming the 2nd player in the club's history to reach 100 goals, only behind Salvador Reyes, who has 122 goals.[11] On 17 May, he played his last match of his first stint with Guadalajara scoring a goal against Monterrey in the Clausura quarter-finals, which they tied 4–4, losing 8–5 on aggregate.[12][13]

On 22 May 2008, Deportivo de La Coruña announced an agreement with Bravo for the next three years as he left as a free agent.[14][15] Bravo became the second Mexican on Deportivo's squad at that time, after Andrés Guardado. Bravo made his league debut on 31 August in a 2–1 victory over Real Madrid. On 8 December he scored his first league goal against Málaga as a penalty kick in a 2–0 victory.[16] With only nine league appearances (only two of them as a starter), it was evident that his stint at the Spanish club was not as successful as expected.

Sporting Kansas City

[edit]

Upon arrival in Kansas City, Bravo mentioned that he was very happy to join the team, and that he believed the level of play in MLS was among the best in the world. In his debut for the club against Chivas USA, he showed off his skilled form and managed to score two goals in a 3–2 victory.[20] He scored nine goals for Kansas and was named MLS Latino Player of the Year.[21]

On 12 August 2015, Bravo scored a brace at home against Morelia that converted him into Guadalajara's all-time top scorer in league matches, surpassing club legend Salvador Reyes with 123 goals.[29] On 26 September, he scored a brace against rivals América in a 2–1 away victory, surpassing record-holder Salvador Reyes in all goals scored at all competitions.[30][31]

On 28 October, he scored the only goal in the Apertura Copa MX semi-final against Toluca.[32] The following month, he led the team to win the Copa MX final on 4 November against León in a 1–0 away victory, attaining their first major title in nine years.[33] Bravo finished the 2015–2016 season scoring 11 goals in 34 games. On 10 July 2016, Bravo scored his last goal for Chivas playing against Veracruz in the last minute of the game ending in 2–0 win giving them their first Supercopa MX title their second in nine months and clinched Guadalajara a spot for the 2017 Copa Libertadores.[34]
