From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emilio Palacios is a Nicaraguan footballer, currently playing for the Nicaragua national football team and Salvadorian side Independiente Nacional 1906. He was the first Nicaraguan to score a hat-trick in an international competition, in February 2007, when Nicaragua won 4-2 against Belize, during the IX UNCAF Copa de Naciones. After a surprisingly good performance in this event, he was contacted by Salvadorian side Independiente, and left Diriangen FC for the Salvadorian side. He was the top scorer of the Nicaraguan League in the championships Apertura 2002 (15 goals for Parmalat Managua), Apertura 2003 (17 goals for Diariangén) and Apertura 2004 (14 goals for Diriangén).
