Club career

Nicknamed Yuyu, Muñoz has spent most of his career in his native Panama and in El Salvador, but also had a stint in Colombia with Envigado, whom he left for Salvadoran side Chalatenango in 2004.[10]

In 2012, he signed for Isidro Metapán his contract was extended with a year in May 2013.[15] Muñoz, who had scored seven of Isidro Metapán's previous nine CCL goals, continued his amazing touch.

On October 24, 2013 he became the third ever player to score 4 goals in a CCL match against Los Angeles Galaxy, all which Nicolás Muñoz scored solo.[16]

In January 2015, Muñoz rejoined Águila, after Isidro Metapán declined to renew his contract[17] and in April he scored the club's 1000th goal in Salvadoran league history.[18]
