Club career

Early career

Born in El Charco, Nariño, Zapata moved to Chile in 2019 and joined the youth sides of Universidad Católica, [2] after the club bought his rights from a Deportivo Cali youth school; [3] he later revealed that he did not play for América de Cali or Deportivo Cali themselves due to the lack of financial resources to pay for his transportations, and only came to Chile after a representative led him to the under-20 side of the UC. [4]

Magallanes

In the middle of 2019, Zapata moved to Primera B side Magallanes, with Católica retaining 25% of his economic rights. [5] He made his senior debut on 17 August of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Marcelo Allende in a 1–0 home loss to Unión San Felipe.

After appearing in just three matches in his first season, Zapata became a starter for Magallanes in the following years, scoring his first goal on 15 March 2020 in a 1–0 away win over Cobreloa. [6] In the 2021 season, he was the club's top goalscorer with nine goals.

In 2022, Zapata helped Magallanes to win the 2022 Copa Chile, their first major trophy, and earn promotion to the Chilean top flight. [7] [8]

International career

Born in Colombia, Zapata stated a desire to represent the Chile national team in 2021, after stating that the country "opened the doors of football" for him. [9] [10]
