After this internship in Oaxaca, Córdova returned to Club América at the end of 2016, where he managed to score 12 goals in 30 games played with America’s U-20 subsidiary. This earned him a promotion to the first team, and he made his debut in a CONCACAF Champions League match against the Panamanian team, Tauro Futbol Club.
After this, he was on loan again, but this time to the first division team, Necaxa. His first match with the Necaxa shirt was in the Mexican Super Cup, where he managed to score the only goal for his team, which gave them victory against Monterrey and, achieved the first professional title of his career.
