  • Against Canada, in the Quarterfinals, he scored his third goal at the 2024 edition.
  • He has 7 in his career, more than any other Venezuelan in the history of the tournament.

In the 63rd minute, Canada was leading Venezuela 1-0 and attacking. A corner kick in favor of Jesse Marsch's team ended in a clearance that bounced past midfield. Without stopping the ball, Salomón Rondón shielded his marker with his body and, just past the center circle, shot against an advanced Crépau, scoring one of the goals of CONMEBOL Copa América 2024™.


It was the seventh goal for the Pachuca forward, his third in this edition after scoring against Mexico and Jamaica.


Rondón already had four goals and thus reached 7, more than any other Venezuelan. José Luis Dolgetta, with 6 goals, was the previous record holder for La Vinotinto.
