Francisco Alejandro Bautista Portillo (born 25 January 1981) is a Panamanian footballer, who currently plays for Atlético Nacional.

Club career

He started his career at Sporting 89 and played for various local sides[1] before embarking on a career abroad, playing several years in Salvadoran football. He joined Once Municipal in February 2007[2] and in January 2008 moved to ambitious capital club San Salvador, only to leave them for Alianza in July 2008.

He returned to Panama in January 2010 to play for his first ever club Sporting San Miguelito again[3] and later joined Second Division side Atlético Nacional. In November 2013, he saved two SUNTRACS penalties to earn his side a place in the 2nd division championship final,[4] but they eventually missed out on promotion to Atlético Chiriquí.[5]

International career

Portillo made his debut for Panama in an August 2001 friendly match against Brazil in which he came on as a last-minute substitute for Óscar McFarlane and has earned a total of 4 caps, scoring no goals.

His final international was a March 2004 friendly match against Cuba.

In 2015, Portillo was named in the Panama national beach soccer team.[6]
