Professional

edit

Although having debuted professionally on 15 May 2004 in a game against C.F. Pachuca, Guzmán saw little action with Monarcas until the Clausura 2006 tournament, where he was used consistently by coach Darío Franco. Éver scored his first professional goal in a game against Club Atlas, on 11 February 2006. The goal would prove crucial, as it would put Monarcas in the lead and eventually earn them a draw as Atlas clawed back to tie the game 1–1.[2]

Guzmán played three seasons for San Antonio FC of the USL Championship and left the club as its all-time leading scorer.[2]

In January 2020, Guzmán joined fellow USL Championship side Hartford Athletic.[3] Guzman had five goals in 13 matches for Hartford. in the abbreviated 2020 season. In March 2021, Guzman signed with Antigua GFC of the Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Guatemala.[4]

During the tournament, Guzmán was head coach Jesús Ramírez's top reserve, scoring four goals, earning him the distinction of being the second top scorer of the tournament, only below teammate Carlos Vela.[2]
