At the age of 16, Lacayo made his professional debut on July 29, 2012 against Motagua as a substitute for Rubén Licona.[1] He was regarded by some people as heir to legendary Honduran striker Milton Tyson Núñez.[2] In May 2013 Lacayo started a trial period with English Premier League side, West Ham United.[3] In total, Lacayo scored nine goals in 23 appearances for Victoria.[4]
At the age of 17, Lacayo was called up by Luis Fernando Suárez to play against Panama and Canada in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers but did not play either games.[5]
In 2013, Lacayo was called up again to play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana[6] and in the Central American Games[7] but did not play either tournaments.
Lacayo was one of 20 players Honduras called up for the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[8]
