Hugo Alfonso González Durán (born 1 August 1990) is a Mexican football goalkeeper who currently plays for América of the Liga MX.

Club career

América

Hugo Gonzalez was a product of the team's youth academy. He won the U-20 Liga MX Championship four times ranging from the Apertura 2010 to the Clausura 2012.

González was selected as América's third-choice goalkeeper during the Apertura 2011 tournament, behind Armando Navarrete and Leonín Pineda. After a disappointing tournament and various movements in the transfer market — including the departures of Navarrete and Pineda — González was promoted to second-choice goalkeeper, this time behind new signing Moisés Muñoz for the Clausura 2012. He was handed the No. 1 shirt (Muñoz elected to use the No. 23). González would make his professional debut for América on 11 February 2012, coming on as a substitute for the injured Muñoz in the 64th minute against Atlas, with the match ending in a 1–1 draw.

After a car crash which involved Moises Muñoz, González was expected to start for América for the Apertura 2012 tournament. He would also be América's starting goalkeeper for the Copa MX tournament, playing in every group-stage match, as well as playing in the Clausura edition of the Copa MX

Moises Muñoz gained poor form in March 2016 causing Hugo Gonzalez to finally earn his first non injury related Liga MX start on March 13 with a victory over Chivas.

After winning the 2016 Concacaf Champions league as a starter in the final, he no longer doubts that he will remain as a sub to veteran Moises Munoz and is now declared a starter for Club America.
