Career

He began his career playing for C.D. Chalatenango. After that season he caught the attention of C.D. Águila. He participated in the 2007 pre-Olympic qualifiers but failed to see any playing time. On October 2009, Esnal left Águila to join second division side Dragón.[1]

On July 27, 2010, Esnal signed to Uruguayan first division club Montevideo Wanderers.[2][3] He was called-up by Ruben Israel for the El Salvador friendly against Venezuela. On August 7, 2011, Esnal started the match but was subbed-out at the 67th minute for a more offensive technique.
