Club Career

Born in Aguascalientes, Cordova joined the youth academy of Club America in 2015. He spent 2016 on loan with Ascenso MX side Alebrijes de Oaxaca, only managing two appearances between league and Copa MX, totaling 21 minutes of action; in his sole Ascenso MX appearance, Cordova came on as a 85th minute substitute against Murcielagos in Oaxaca's 4–1 victory. He played 16 minutes in Oaxaca's scoreless draw against the same opposition in the Copa MX. Following the loan spell, Cordova returned to Club America's youth side.

In 2018, Cordova joined Necaxa on loan, with whom he made his competitive debut in the Supercopa MX victory over Monterrey, scoring the game's only goal. He made his Liga MX debut on 14 August against Lobos BUAP.

Cordova returned to America prior to the start of the 2019 Clausura, and scored twice in seven league matches during the tournament. On 29 September, he scored a brace in America's 4–1 Apertura victory over rivals Guadalajara. In the first-leg of the Apertura finals against Monterrey, following review by the video assistant referee, Cordova was sent-off in the 53rd minute due to a late challenge on Leonel Vangioni. He missed the second-leg as America finished runners-up.

Prior to the start of the 2021–22 season, Cordova was given the number 10 jersey, the first canterano (home-grown) player to wear it since Cuauhtemoc Blanco.
