Diego Cascón Sandoval (born 7 June 1984) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a forward.
Club career Cascón was born in León, Castile and León. He spent his first 11 seasons as a senior in the Segunda División B, amassing totals of 260 games and 55 goals for Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, CF Badalona, Polideportivo Ejido, AD Alcorcón – with these two teams, he eliminated Villarreal CF and Real Madrid respectively from the Copa del Rey– SD Eibar and Real Jaén.
Whilst with the latter club, Cascón solicited the services of a sorcerer in April 2013 in an attempt to end a negative scoring drought, feeling he was a victim of the evil eye. He eventually scored eight goals in 31 matches, as the Andalusia side promoted and returned to Segunda División after 11 years.
Cascón made his professional debut on 18 August 2013 at the age of 29, in Jaén's 1–2 home defeat against SD Eibar in the second-division opener. In February 2014, after only a further ten league appearances and no goals, he moved abroad for the first time, joining a host of compatriots at Kitchee SC in Hong Kong.
On 15 August 2017, Cascón moved to Tercera División club UD Ibiza following stints with Mérida AD and UD Melilla in the tier above.
