Mauriño Enrique Mendoza Ísmodes (born on 4 April 1964) is a Peruvian footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He is the first cousin of Andrés Mendoza, a Peruvian international striker from the 2000s.[3]
Mauriño Mendoza began his career at Deportivo Junín in 1985.[1] After a stint with CNI of Iquitos between 1986 and 1987, he joined Alianza Lima in 1988.[1] The previous year, his brother, José Mendoza Ísmodes, died in a plane crash that devastated the entire Alianza team.[3]
In 1994, he signed with Cienciano of Cusco, a year in which the club narrowly avoided relegation to the second division, only securing survival on the final day of the season.[3] A runner-up in the Peruvian league in 2001, he played eight matches in the 2002 Copa Libertadores.[2] The following year, he won the 2003 Copa Sudamericana with Cienciano as Óscar Ibáñez's backup goalkeeper.[4]
After retiring, he became a goalkeeping coach.[3]
