With Alianza Petrolera, Arias faced Cúcuta in a Copa Colombia 2008 match and impressed directors of Cúcuta who promptly signed him. He made his debut for Cúcuta during the 2009 season.[2] In his first season with Cúcuta he appeared in 36 league matches and scored 6 goals, playing primarily as an attacking midfielder.
