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.

Hugo Alejandro Sotil Yerén was a Peruvian professional footballer. Nicknamed El Cholo, he played as a striker or midfielder. Together with Teófilo Cubillas and Héctor Chumpitaz, he was one of Peru's most recognized football players of the 1970s. He also was a popular player in Peru, and a biopic on his life was released in that decade. He was a member of the Peru national team that won the 1975 Copa América and reached the quarterfinals in Mexico 1970 and Argentina 1978. — Wikipedia
