Eliseo Antonio Quintanilla Ortíz (born 5 February 1983 in La Libertad) is a Salvadoran footballer who currently plays for Guatemalan club Municipal and internationally for the El Salvador national team.

Club career

While with Club Águila of El Salvador, Eliseo played in a friendly match in Los Angeles. The management at D.C. United watched the game tapes and signed Eliseo Quintanilla with the club in 2002.

Quintanilla was acquired by D.C. United before the 2002 season from Salvadoran club C.D. Águila, with whom he had played since 2001, after making his professional debut in 1999 with C.D. FAS at the tender age of 16. Injuries curtailed his MLS career. He scored just five goals and five assists in two years in the league, missed all of 2004 with an injury, and was subsequently released.

In 2004, Eliseo was injured at a preseason training camp and was unable to play the entire season.

In 2008, Eliseo signed a six month deal with Costa Rican football club L.D. Alajuelense.

After being released from his club LD Alajuelense, Quintanilla returned to El Salvador, where he signed with San Miguel club C.D. Aguila for two years.

In 2009, Quintanilla signed to newly promoted Cypriot team Ermis Aradippou. His stay was somewhat short-lived, only playing 10 domestic league games and scoring one goal in the Cypriot Cup.

On 16 December 2009, it was confirmed by Correcaminos UAT that they had acquire Quintanilla with a six month contract.[2] Shortly after Correcaminos got eliminated from the quarter-finals, it was announced that Quintanilla would no longer continue with the club. Quintanilla made 17 league appearances and only scored one goal for the club.

On May 2010, Quintanilla had signed a one year contract with Luis Ángel Firpo.

On May 24 2011, Quintanilla signed with Guatemalan club Municipal.

International career

On June 22, 2008, Eliseo scored two goals as El Salvador came back in a thriller to defeat Panama, 3-1. With the win, El Salvador advanced to Round 3 in the CONCACAF Zone in the World Cup Qualifiers for Africa 2010.

On March 28, 2009, Quintanilla scored a his twelfth, and quite possibly most memorable goal with the national team. The goal came in a World Cup qualification match against the USA and marked the first time in over eleven years that El Salvador had managed to score a goal against the traditional CONCACAF powerhouse. The match ultimately ended in a 2 all draw.
