Club career

Around July 2008 Machado travelled to Colombia to play with Copa Mustang side Envigado along with U-23 teammate Armando Cooper. However the transfer failed and had to return to Panama to continue with Alianza. [2] In December 2008 he was signed by Guatemalan side Deportivo Marquense. In May 2010 he joined Honduran side Marathón [3] and in December 2010 Machado moved to Guatemalan top club Comunicaciones. [4] He would help Comunicaciones win the 2011 Clausura. [5]

Doping case and suspension

In February 2012, Machado, alongside Comunicaciones teammates Fredy Thompson and Marvin Ceballos, was temporarily suspended from playing by FIFA after a positive test on the banned substance boldenone. [6] A second test done at a laboratory in Canada reconfirmed the positive doping test [7] and he was later suspended for two years, until 24 January 2014. [8] Conunicaciones would win the 2012 Apertura and 2013 Clausura in his absence. [5]

Before his ban ended, he signed with San Francisco in November 2013 ahead of the 2014 Clausura season [9] but in December 2013, Machado was loaned to Costa Rican giants Saprissa for two seasons with an option to extend [10] and debuted on the first day after his doping ban was lifted. [11] Machado would help lead Saprissa to 4 titles in his time there and received many personal accolades. [12]

On 21 December 2016, Machado signed with the Houston Dynamo of MLS. [13] He made his Dynamo debut on 4 March 2017 in a 2–1 over Seattle Sounders FC. He helped the Dynamo return to the MLS playoffs for the first time since 2013 [14] Machado played in every minute of the playoffs as the Dynamo reached the western conference finals, where they fell to the Sounders. [12]

The Dynamo didn't have the same league success in the 2018, in part due to Machado missing key games while away on international duty, but he did help the Dynamo win the 2018 US Open Cup, the first in club history. [12]

Machado's contract was not renewed following the 2018 season; he later joined The Strongest.

International career

Machado participated in the 2008 CONCACAF Men's Pre-Olympic Tournament with the Panama U-23 team. He made his debut with the senior team on 1 June 2008 starting in the 1–0 victory over Guatemala. He has, as of 16 October 2018, earned a total of 77 caps, scoring 1 goal. [15] He represented his country at the 2009, 2011 and 2014 UNCAF Nations Cups, with Panama winning the 2009 edition, as well as at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. [16]

In May 2018 he was named to Panama's preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. [17] The 23-man roster was announced on 30 May with Machado being a part of it. [18] He made his one appearance at the World Cup on 28 June in a 1–2 loss to Tunisia. [19]

The club was founded in 1935 and has competed in the Costa Rican first division since 1949. The name of the team comes from one of the club's main founders, Ricardo Saprissa Aymá. One of the most popular nicknames for the team El Monstruo Morado can be traced back to 1987, when the Costa Rican newspaper Diario Extra gave the team the nickname during a derby, because of the club's enormous following. A reporter commented that the sea of fans in the stands at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá in Tibás wearing purple, and the tremendous noise they were generating, made him feel like he was "in the presence of a thousand headed monster". Saprissa immediately adopted the nickname El Monstruo Morado. It remains the most lauded football team in the whole region.
