On 19 February 1995, Arroyo scored 17 goals in a Mexican third-tier match. He netted his first goal when the duel was already 4–0 and ended the first half with seven; although Acuña no longer wanted to go out to play in the second half as they were already 0–14 down, they still came onto the field again, and then he scored the remaining 10 goals.[2] He finished with 42 goals on the season, but was nevertheless overtaken for the league scoring title by José Luis “Charro” Mendoza, who scored eight goals in the season finale to reach a total of 44.[3]
We knew about the opponent who was going badly, I never imagined that this would happen, only in dreams, but Professor Franco Zúñiga always trained us in the midfield with pure shots on goal for the same reason; he decreed that we were going to score 30 goals, we never believed him, But look, it happened and thank God there were 29 goals, of which I scored 17.
His 17-goal haul catapulted his career as he caught the attention of bigger teams and was signed by Querétaro F.C. in the Primera División.[1][2] He was unable to hold down a place, however, and was never able to debut in the top circuit, instead joining second-tier side Correcaminos.[1] He then had to retire to support his family and take care of his father who was in poor health.[2]
