Brayan León Muñiz (born 19 October 2000) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Independiente Medellín.[1]
Career[edit]
Leon began his career with Deportivo Pereira in 2021, and he was part of the team that won the 2022 Torneo Finalizacion title on penalties against Independiente Medellin. Atlético Junior took notice of his performances with Pereira, where he scored eight goals in fifteen games, and signed him in January 2023. [citation needed]
However his form declined at Junior, where he made 18 appearances but did not score any goals. After Diber Cambindo's exit from the club, in June 2023 Independiente Medellin signed him as Cambindo's replacement.[2]
On 19 November 2023, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over rivals Atlético Nacional in El Clásico Paisa.[3] On 23 October 2023, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory over his former club, Deportivo Pereira.[4] On 3 December, Leon scored a brace in a historic 5–0 victory against rivals Nacional, helping El Poderoso reach the finals.[5]
