Career

Club career

Domingo Tarasconi's first position in the senior sector was the Boca Juniors from the working-class La Boca district in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires , where he was born in 1903. Tarasconi played for Boca Juniors from 1922 to 1932 and made 224 official games in the Argentine championship during this time, scoring 187 goals. He is still the player with the fourth highest goal in the history of Boca Juniors, only behind Martín Palermo (228), Roberto Cherro (221) and Francisco Varallo (194). After he had already won the amateur championship in Argentina four times with the Juniors, Tarasconi was part of the first winning team of the Argentine Primera División , the professional league in 1931 . A year later, in 1932, he left Boca and joined the Newell's Old Boys from Rosario , where he only came to two games in the Segunda División league and returned to the club after only one year. In 1934 and 1936, Domingo Tarasconi played for CA San Martín de Tucumán and the Argentinos Juniors before ending his career in 1936 at the age of 33.

National team

Between 1922 and 1929 Domingo Tarasconi came to a total of 24 missions in the Argentine national football team . He achieved eighteen goals. In 1925 , 1927 and 1929 he won the Copa America three times with the national team of his home country , at that time still under the name Campeonato Sudamericano . In 1925 Argentina finished first with two points ahead of Brazil , in 1927 with two points ahead of Uruguay and in 1929 in front of their home crowd with two points ahead of Peru . After the Copa América 1929, Domingo Tarasconi's time in the Argentine national soccer team ended and he narrowly missed the first soccer world championship , which took place a year later in Uruguay , in which the Argentine team reached the final and only failed there at the host. Before that he was part of the national team of Argentina, which had taken part in the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam . After victories over the United States , Belgium and Egypt , they were in the final against Uruguay, which was lost, however, by a 2-1 defeat in the second leg after the final first leg had ended with a 1-1 draw. Domingo Tarasconi scored eleven goals throughout the tournament, but none in the final. These eleven goals made him the top scorer of the Olympic Games by a long way ahead of the Italian Adolfo Baloncieri and his compatriot Manuel Ferreira , who had each scored six times.
