Club career
Born in Ovalle, Chile, Mundaca was with the football academy of his hometown, Academia Municipal de Fútbol Ovalle, and the Universidad de Chile under-13 team before joining the Coquimbo Unido youth ranks in 2022.
Mundaca made his professional debut in the Chilean Primera División match against Audax Italiano on 28 March 2024.

Two weeks later, he scored again in the 2–0 win against O'Higgins.
