He scored his first goal with Colo-Colo on 25 June 2008 against Club de Fútbol Universidad de Chile at the stadium Tierra de Campeones in Iquique playing for the "Copa Gato". The next day, 26 June, he was presented at Estadio Monumental together with Macnelly Torres and Luis Pedro Figueroa as new additions to the Colo-Colo squad.

After 133 days without play, on 28 March of the next season, he re-appeared against Unión Española in a 2012 Copa Libertadores game, in which he scored the victory goal in the 87th minute,[4] scoring also the following week in a 5–1 home victory over Cobreloa at San Carlos de Apoquindo.[5][6]

International career

The great season that Gazale had with Deportes Concepción gave him a lot of notice, being that Eduardo Berizzo nominated him to play for the Chile national team that played a tournament for Under-23 players in Malaysia.

The idea of the coaching staff is for him to adapt himself to the coaching work of Marcelo Bielsa for a future nomination for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
