UruguayCounted 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.

Nicknamed "El Matador", he is regarded as one of the best strikers of his generation. He is known for his off the ball movement, work ethic, and finishing.
