In 1995, he seemed to break through and made a total of nine appearances for “el Tri”. He made a total of four international appearances in 19, but was not named to Mexico’s 1994 World Cup squad. His international debut came on 29 June 1993 at Costa Rica (2-0) and was a four-minute limited appearance.

Vidrio made a total of 34 appearances for the Mexican national football team, going the full distance on 31 occasions. He spent with the Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz.
After that, he only made one appearance and returned to his previous employers Pachuca during the winter break of the 2002/03 season, with whom he won another Apertura championship title in 2003. However, although Vidrio played his first four games in the Spanish Primera División and even scored a goal, his appearances were accompanied by reviews accusing him of being too slow, too clumsy and a source of uncertainty. Aguirre expected the 30-year-old Vidrio to provide the experience the Osasuna side lacked. When Aguirre took on a contract at Basque side CA Osasuna after the 2002 World Cup, he immediately took Vidrio with him. Together they won the championships of the Torneo Invierno 1999 and the Torneo Invierno 2001. His coach there for three years was Javier Aguirre, who brought Vidrio back to the national team in 2001 after being appointed national coach himself. After five years with the “Chivas”, he spent two one-year stints with Toluca (1996/97 season) and Tecos de la UAG (1997/98) before “settling down” again at CF Pachuca. On 15 September 1991 he played his first match in the Mexican Primera División against Correcaminos de la UAT. “El Tronco” Vidrio was trained in the youth departments of CD “Chivas” Guadalajara, where he received his first professional contract.
