Zazueta played for Hermisillo Seris, a third division club in Mexico.[1] In 1992, he joined the Tucson Amigos halfway through the 1992 United States Interregional Soccer League season.[2] The Amigos were 1–6 at the time, but the addition of Zazueta and John Olu–Molomo[2] led to the Amigos making the playoffs and going to the championship game where they lost to the Palo Alto Firebirds.[3] Zazueta was All League.[3] Zazueta continued to play for the Amigos until 1994, driving up from his home in Hermisillo, Mexico for practice and games.[2] In July 1994, he joined an unknown team in the Mexican Second Division.[2] He played for Inter Tijuana from 1996 to 1997 in Primera División A, Group II.[1][4]
