Career

[edit]

Born in Asunción, Cardozo began his career at Olimpia. He made his professional debut on 23 April 2017 in a 2–1 home win over Sportivo Luqueño in the Paraguayan Primera División, but was substituted for Richard Ortiz after 28 minutes.[2] He scored three goals from 30 games in the 2018 season, starting on 14 April in a 4–2 win over Independiente F.B.C. again at the Estadio Manuel Ferreira.[3]

On 30 June 2019, Cardozo moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga club Boavista on a one-year loan with a buying option, arriving days after compatriot Walter Clar.[4] He did not debut until the next 6 June, as a 65th-minute substitute for Heriberto Tavares in a 1–0 home loss to Moreirense.[5]
