Goal by Scarone

The 1928 Olympic Final replay.
Roberto Figueroa gets past Segundo Medici and sends in a cross; René Borjas beats Paternoster and heads the ball into the path of the oncoming Hector Scarone. 'Yours, Hector!' 
2-1 Uruguay, 73rd minute.
The illustration is not contemporary as the artist has drawn a D (penalty arc). 
I have seen evidence of the D being used on the continent before 1937 (I will cover this in a later post- someday!)
At 3:54 in the film it does look like there is a D!



Looks like it was an action packed game.
