Sabah appeared in the first leg match against UNAM Pumas, coming in the 75th minute for Héctor Reynoso.[10] He did not appear in the second leg match, eventually Chivas lost the final 5–4 in penalty kicks.[11][12] In the Apertura 2004 season, Sabah would appear in 14 games, Sabah managed to score five goals, but got a red card against Atlante F.C. in the first game of the season.[13] Without Sabah, Guadalajara defeated Atlante 7–0.[14] Sabah appeared in 12 games combined in his last two seasons with Guadalajara.[15][16] Sabah appeared in 86 games (starting 36) and scored 18 goals in nine seasons with Guadalajara.[6]

Cruz Azul

Following the Apertura 2005 Sabah was transferred to Cruz Azul, which helped his career get going. His first season with Cruz Azul was solid, with Sabah scoring three goals and registering two assists.[17] Sabah had a very good Apertura 2006 season; he appeared in 18 games, starting 15, and he scored ten goals.[18] The Clausura 2007 season was not as good as the previous season for Sabah; he scored six goals in 17 games.[19] The Apertura 2007 season was statistically the best season for Sabah with Cruz Azul.[6][20] Sabah started all 17 games he played and scored 11 goals.[20] Although Sabah only scored 11 goals in 37 games, Cruz Azul reached the final in Sabah's last two seasons with that club.[21][22] Cruz Azul lost both of those finals, Clausura 2008 to Santos Laguna and Apertura 2008 to Deportivo Toluca.[23][24]

He was presented on December 31.[25] Sabah scored his first goal with Morelia on January 31, 2009 against América.[26] The rest of the Clausura 2009 season for Sabah with Morelia has gone well. Sabah started out slow but has responded with 11 goals in 17 games, 15 in which he started.[27] In his second tournament with Morelia, Sabah only appeared in 16 matches due to national team duty but still managed to score eight goals, including two in the playoffs. The Torneo Bicentenario 2010 was a very good season for Sabah as he finished with seven goals in 13 matches before he left for Mexico national football team pre-World Cup training camp.
