Segundo Luna was an Argentinian footballer, born in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. He was the first Santiagueño (person who was born in Santiago del Estero) to play in Argentina's national football team as well as the first to play in an international tournament. Luna's team finished second in the Athletic Club Students Cultural Football League. He then joined the international football team in 1927, the year before the Olympics in Amsterdam. His first tournament was the 1927 Copa De America (the South American football tournament), in Lima, Peru, where Argentina qualified for the 1928 Olympics.^[1] The name 'Segundo Luna' means 'Second Moon' in Spanish.

The Copa De America

Segundo Luna scored his first international goal on 1 October 1927, against Bolivia. Luna scored the first goal after 18 minutes in what would be a 7-1 win. He scored another goal in that match, which was Argentina's sixth. This was after 56 minutes. He next scored on 20 November, in a 3-2 win against Uruguay. He scored his team's second goal (to make it 2-1) after 70 minutes. Luna was the joint-top goalscorer of the competition, along with Alfredo Carricaberry (Argentina), Roberto Figueroa (Uruguay), Héctor Scarone (Uruguay) and Pedro Petrone (Uruguay). They scored 3 goals each.^[2]^[3]

1928 Olympics

Argentina came second in the 1928 Olympics. They played the semi-final against Egypt, who had surprisingly beaten Turkey and Portugal in earlier rounds. Luna's team were dominant and won 6-0. The final was against Uruguay and finished 1-1 after 30 minutes of extra time. A replay was called, and it was 1-1 at half time. Argentina conceded the tournament-winning goal in the 68th minute.^[4]
