In the same season 2008, Pacheco won a domestic title with his team, being it the third of his football career in Colombia, after his team won the final match of the Apertura tournament against America de Cali. At the end of the same year, the contracts for Pacheco and other football players were terminated by Boyacá Chicó.[2]

After having played for Chicó, he played for Deportivo Pasto[3] for six months but he was not given much continuity for playing. He then was signed for Junior, for which he played for 6 months too.[4]

In the year 2010, after being without playing for 6 months, he started playing for Bogotá Fútbol Club from Categoría Primera B.[5] By 2011, Victor Danilo was signed for the new team of primera B Uniautónoma F.C. from Barranquilla.
