In January 2005, the team won the InterLiga Championship in Houston, Texas. With this, they qualified for the prestigious Copa Libertadores de América. This was the first time the team qualified to any international tournament.

The Tigres adventure in the Libertadores included their first ever game in that tournament against Alianza Lima in Peru on February 15, 2005 (away, score: 0-0) and May 3, 2005 (home, score: 0-0). Their first ever win on the tournament, on February 23, 2005, against Caracas FC, from Venezuela (home, score: 3-1), and on April 13, 2005 (away, score: 2-5).

Pulido made his first league appearance coming in as a substitute after the half-time break in a 0–3 home defeat against Morelia on 27 February 2010.

He scored his first league goal in a 4–2 home win over Pachuca on 13 April 2011.

His first international participation was in the SuperLiga 2009, playing 90 minutes against American side Chivas USA on 20 June 2009.

Pulido scored three goals in the group stage of the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Guatemala and helped Mexico win the tournament to qualify for the U-20 World Cup in Colombia the same year.

In the summer of 2011 he was called up to join Mexico's squad for Copa América in Argentina but did not play a part in any of the three group stage games.

On 23 March 2012, Pulido scored the opening goal in Mexico's 7–1 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in the United States. Two days later he scored all three goals when Mexico defeated Honduras in the same tournament. His last goal was against Canada.

Lucas Armando Lobos (August 3, 1981) is an Argentine footballer who plays in the Mexican First Division as the captain of UANL.

A deep-lying playmaker, he is widely considered as one of the top players in Mexico. Before joining Tigres, Lobos played for Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in Argentina and Cádiz CF in Spain.

At the age of 17 Lobos was signed by the team Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata to play in the junior divisions of Argentina. In three months he had become part of the first team, debuting in the Argentine Primera División in the second half of a game against Club Atlético Banfield. Lobos remained in the team from 2001 to 2005, ending runner-up twice.

Lobos signed up with the Spanish team Cádiz CF, playing in La Liga, the first division of Spain. His great performance did not prevent the relegation of the team to Segunda División, the second division. Lobos spent two seasons in Cadiz.

In December 2007, Lobos signed for four years with Tigres UANL, his current club. Almost finishing the Clausura 2008, Lobos underwent an operation on one of his knees. On August 11, 2010, Lobos re-signed for three more years with Tigres. In 2011, the post of captain was given to him for being the most committed player.
