'''Luis Carlos''' "'''Matador'''" '''Tejada Hansell''' (28 March 1982 – 28 January 2024) was a Panamanian professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[striker (association football)|striker]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Adiós, goleador: Luis Tejada falleció de un paro cardíaco en partido de exhibición|url=https://elcomercio.pe/deporte-total/futbol-peruano/fallecio-el-pana-tejada-historico-goleador-de-juan-aurich-de-paro-cardiaco-murio-pana-tejada-tras-un-partido-de-fulbito-video-noticia/|work=[[El Comercio (Peru)]]|date=28 March 2024}}</ref> A [[journeyman (sports)|journeyman]] player, Tejada represented over 15 different football clubs in his career. He represented the [[Panama national football team|Panama national team]] 108 times, appearing at the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]] in Russia.

==Club career==

===Early career===
Tejada's debut in professional soccer was with [[Tauro F.C.|Tauro]] in the local league, where he managed to make a good impression and quickly moved to Colombia to play with Colombian side [[Deportes Tolima]]. Later on he was transferred to first division team [[Envigado Fútbol Club|Envigado]] in 2004, and after a splendid participation in the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup|Gold Cup]], he set off to the United Arab Emirates.

In 2005, he signed a three-year contract to send him to [[Al Ain FC|Al Ain]] of the United Arab Emirates.<ref>[http://portal.critica.com.pa/archivo/08042005/dep02_pix.html Tejada jugará con el Al Ain Club's] – Crítica {{in lang|es}}</ref> However, he did not yield the same results he obtained in the Gold Cup, reason why shortly after finished the [[AFC Champions League]], and he returned to Panama.

Returning to Panama, he participated in the Clausura Championship with Plaza Amador, one of the best teams in the local league, but he only participated in a few matches. His conditioning was not optimal, and he acquired the nickname of "Gordito (fatty)". Growing into better form, he moved on to Colombia, where he played a short spell with ex [[Copa Libertadores]] champions [[Once Caldas]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=M |first=Jorge Isaac Olmos |date=2006-07-10 |title=Tejada firmó con el Once Caldas |url=https://www.panamaamerica.com.pa/deportes/tejada-firmo-con-el-once-caldas-241643 |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=Panamá América |language=es}}</ref> from which he was fired for disciplinary problems. He then returned to Panama to play for [[Plaza Amador]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=M |first=Jorge Isaac Olmos |date=2006-09-25 |title=Luis Tejada cerca de volver a Plaza Amador |url=https://www.panamaamerica.com.pa/deportes/luis-tejada-cerca-de-volver-plaza-amador-251448 |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=Panamá América |language=es}}</ref>

Real Salt Lake of [[Major League Soccer]] announced the signing of Tejada on 12 December 2006, for the 2007 season.  He played only two minutes in five games,<ref>[https://archive.today/20120720104439/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/gamelog?id=94931&season=2007&cc=5739 Luis Tejada stats] – [[ESPN Soccernet]]</ref> however, before he was released by head coach [[Jason Kreis]] in early June.<ref>[http://www.espnfc.com/story/429238/real-salt-lake-releases-tejada Real Salt Lake releases Tejada] – ESPN</ref> He returned to Panamanian side Tauro for a very brief stint, scoring four goals in four matches.

===America de Cali===
In August 2007, Tejada was signed by Colombian club [[América de Cali]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-08-14 |title=América de Cali incorporó a Tejada y Banguero |url=https://espndeportes.espn.com/noticias/nota?s=gen&id=587064&type=story |access-date=2023-10-10 |publisher=ESPN Deportes |language=es}}</ref> Tejada scored only three goals in the [[2007-II Copa Mustang|2007 Torneo Finalizacion]]; however, he became a key player for América in the next tournament, the [[2008-I Copa Mustang|2008 Torneo Apertura]], where he scored 12 goals in 19 matches, becoming América de Cali's top-scorer and second overall in the tournament. Tejada's goals helped America reached the finals, with Tejada scoring a goal in the second leg to send the match into penalties, where America lost to [[Boyacá Chicó]] on penalties. He was nicknamed by the Colombian press as America's golden tooth (''el diente de oro del America'') because of his golden tooth.{{Citation needed|date=October 2023}} After the tournament, there was much interest for Tejada across big teams from South America and Europe, including Argentine club [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]];<ref>[http://foros.latinol.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=001763 "Matador" Tejada posible refuerzo del River Plate] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080817115349/http://foros.latinol.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=001763 |date=17 August 2008 }}, Foros.latinol.com</ref> however, nothing was finalized.

===Millonarios===
Shortly after the 2008 Apertura concluded, Tejada was sold to another club in Colombia, [[Millonarios]], on a three-year contract.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-08-08 |title=El Matador Tejada pasa a Millonarios |url=https://www.prensa.com/impresa/deportes/Matador-Tejada-pasa-Millonarios_0_2356264606.html |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=prensa.com |language=es}}</ref> He made his debut on 16 August 2008 in the ''Embajadores'' victory over [[Deportes Quindío]]. However, Tejada was unable to replicate his form at America with his new club, and he was released shortly after Millonarios failed to quality for the 2009 Apertura playoffs, having scored just once in 25 appearances.

===Juan Aurich===
Tejada returned to Tauro in summer 2009,<ref>{{Cite web |date=18 September 2009 |title=Luis Tejada con luz verde para debutar con Tauro |url=https://www.laestrella.com.pa/deportes/mas-deportes/090918/luz-luis-verde-tejada-debutar |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=La Estrella de Panamá |language=es}}</ref> and afterwards moved to Peru to play for champions [[Juan Aurich]] in early 2010.<ref>[http://panamafutbol.com/?p=379 El “Matador” Tejada será refuerzo en el Juan Aurich Peruano] – Panama Futbol {{in lang|es}}</ref> In Tejada's first season at the club, the [[2010 Torneo Descentralizado]], he scored 16 league goals and helped his club secure a Copa Sudamericana spot. In the [[2010 Copa Libertadores]], Tejada scored six goals, placing fourth in the top scoring chart, including a brace against Tecos on 28 January 2010.

In [[2011 Torneo Descentralizado|the following season]] Tejada finished as topscorer of the league, with 17 goals, as he helped his club win the league title for the first time in history and achieve direct qualification for the 2012 Copa Libertadores. He left Juan Aurich with an impressive 48 goals in 96 games, which attracted interest from teams in stronger leagues such as Mexico and Brazil.

===Toluca===
Tejada finally moved to Mexican side [[Deportivo Toluca]] in late 2012 as a replacement for the Uruguyan striker [[Iván Alonso]]. His spell at Toluca began promising after a late arrival, scoring four goals in five matches; however, his performance and consistency dropped for the liguilla, the Clausura 2013 and in the disappointing performance of Toluca at Copa Libertadores.

===Later career===
In summer 2013, Tejada joined [[Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz|Veracruz]] on loan.<ref>[http://panamafutbol.com/?p=10694 Luis Tejada reforzará al Veracruz] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612141411/http://panamafutbol.com/?p=10694 |date=12 June 2018 }} – PanamaFutbol {{in lang|es}}</ref> For the 2014 season he joined another Peruvian club, [[Universidad César Vallejo Club de Fútbol|Universidad César Vallejo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://peru.com/futbol/descentralizado/cesar-vallejo-luis-tejada-regresa-al-futbol-peruano-noticia-216561 |title=César Vallejo: Luis Tejada regresa al fútbol peruano |language=es |publisher=Perú.com |date=19 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202193333/http://peru.com/futbol/descentralizado/cesar-vallejo-luis-tejada-regresa-al-futbol-peruano-noticia-216561 |archive-date=2 February 2014 }}</ref> He scored 11 league goals and participated in the [[2014 Copa Sudamericana]] with the club, but failed to score in any of the Sudamericana games.

In January 2015, Tejada returned to Peru where he played with Juan Aurich for two years and had an excellent spell, scoring 39 goals in 58 appearances.  On 1 March 2015, Tejada walked off the pitch during a match against [[Cienciano]] after being subjected to racist abuse from fans.<ref>{{cite web|title=Player walks off pitch in Peru after being subject to racist abuse from fans|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/02/player-walks-off-peru-racist-abuse-fans?CMP=share_btn_tw|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=2 March 2015|date=2 March 2015}}</ref>

==International career==
Tejada made his debut for [[Panama national football team|Panama]] in a June 2001 [[friendly (association football)|friendly]] against [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]] and, until his international retirement in 2018, earned a total of 108 caps, scoring 43 goals.<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/ltejada-intlg.html Luis Carlos Tejada Hansell – Goals in International Matches] – RSSSF</ref> This made him Panama's all-time record goalscorer, just ahead of [[Blas Pérez]]. Tejada represented his country in 34 [[FIFA World Cup qualification]] matches,<ref>{{FIFA player|213780}}</ref> and in March 2005, he scored a goal from an overhead kick against [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] in a [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)|2006 World Cup qualifying match]] to draw Panama level with the CONCACAF giants. This goal was voted the best goal of the year by Fox Sports.

Tejada led Panama to the [[2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup final]], where they finished as runners-up to the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]]. He scored three goals to end up as joint top scorer, but unfortunately, he missed his penalty kick in the penalty shoot-out against the United States in the final. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament for his efforts. Tejada is currently the all-time leading scorer in Panama history.

Tejada was ejected from the [[2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup]] semi final against Mexico after receiving a red card.

In May 2018, he was named in Panama's 23-man squad for the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]] in Russia.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/revealed-every-world-cup-2018-squad-23-man-preliminary-lists/oa0atsduflsv1nsf6oqk576rb|title=Revealed: Every World Cup 2018 squad – Final 23-man lists|publisher=Goal|access-date=15 December 2021}}</ref>

==Death==
Tejada died on 28 January 2024 of a suspected heart attack after a [[pick-up game]] in his hometown of [[San Miguelito District|San Miguelito]]. He was 41 years old.<ref>{{cite news|title=Adiós, goleador: Luis Tejada falleció de un paro cardíaco en partido de exhibición|url=https://elcomercio.pe/deporte-total/futbol-peruano/fallecio-el-pana-tejada-historico-goleador-de-juan-aurich-de-paro-cardiaco-murio-pana-tejada-tras-un-partido-de-fulbito-video-noticia/#google_vignette|publisher=[[El Comercio (Peru)]]|language=es|date=28 January 2023|access-date=28 January 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=29 January 2024 |title=Panama's all-time leading scorer Tejada, 41, dies |url=https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/39412202/former-panama-striker-luis-tejada-dies-41 |access-date=29 January 2024 |publisher=ESPN}}</ref>
