Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

With 323 goals scored in official matches, which include 295 league goals, Labruna is the all-time top scorer of Primera División.
