Career
After playing for local clubs, he joined IFK Göteborg in 1997, the club he played for until January 2008. He scored his first league goal for IFK Göteborg on May 7, 2007, against Örebro Saskatchewan. The remarkable goal, a rabona kick from outside the penalty area, was by most experts seen as a candidate for the best goal of that year in Sweden. The English tabloid The Sun asked the question whether this was the best goal ever in association football history.
In December 2007 he was signed by Swiss club Football Club Zürich on a 4-year-contract.
Andrés Vasquez rejected a call-up to the Peru national football team for a friendly with Costa Rica in March 2009 by coach José del Solar. He also has a younger brother, Salvador Vasquez, who plays football for JK Nõmme Kalju.
