Salvador Cabrera Aguirre (born 21 August 1973) is a Mexican former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

A defensive midfielder also capable of lining up at the back, Cabrera made his debut with Necaxa during the club's title-winning 1994–95 season.[1] He also appeared in the club's successful championship defense the following year, but only became a regular starter during the Invierno 1997 season. During the Invierno 1998 season, Cabrera won his third championship and his first as a major contributor, scoring the championship-winning goal in the final with a long-range shot against Chivas.[2] He joined Atlante in 2001 but returned to Necaxa in 2002, helping the club to a place in the Verano 2002 final.[1] Afterward Necaxa fell into decline, and Cabrera's role began to diminish by the middle of the decade. His last top-flight appearances for the club came in the Clausura 2007 tournament.[3]

Cabrera also participated for Necaxa in international club events. He appeared in the final of the

2000 FIFA Club World Cup, where Necaxa finished in third place, and scored in the game against South Melbourne FC.[5]

International career

He also earned 10 caps for the

Honours

Necaxa
