Career

With Cúcuta, Perez won the Copa Mustang in 2006 against Deportes Tolima. In 2007 Cúcuta and Blas Perez made their debut in Copa Libertadores, in which Blas scored 8 goals, including two against Argentina's Boca Juniors. His 8 goals were the second most in the tournament.

On May 29, 2007 Spanish Segunda División team Hércules CF signed Super Ratón in a 4-year contract in which they acquire 50% of the player.[1] It has been valued at $2.7 million US dollars, with Blas Perez earning 60 thousand dollars per month.

On January 18, 2008 he signed with UANL Tigres, his 7th club in his career and first in Mexico.[2] He will play for Pachuca for the 2009 Clausura in a loan deal after Miguel Sabah's transfer to Pachuca did not work out.[3]

After his impressive display in the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Al Wasl FC of Dubai was able to secure Blas Pérez services to play in the UAE League[4] based on AlWasl's new coach Alexandre Guimarães recommendation.[5] He stayed there only for the first half of the 2009-10 season before moving back to Mexico and play for San Luis. After having played 17 games in the Torneo Bicentenario and 2 in the 2010 edition of the Copa Libertadores and having scored 5 goals in both tournaments, he was released after the end of the season.[6] He was later signed by Club León from the Liga de Ascenso in the 2010 edition of the Mexican draft.[7]

International career

Pérez made his debut for the Panama national football team in 2000 against Guatemala. He played for Panama at the 2007 Gold Cup, in which they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by the U.S. He ended up as Panama's top scorer, with three goals and one assist. Blas Perez was also named in the 2007 Gold Cup "Best XI".

Assault attempt

On 23 July 2009, two cars chased Perez' car early at the morning while he was travelling along the La Chorrera highway. The assaulting cars intercepted his Nissan 350z when one of them collided with it forcing it to stop. Perez managed to escape from the attackers and sustained no injuries but his car was heavily damaged.[8]
