Analysis overview
Luna operates with directness across the middle third, timing his runs to arrive in the final third with intent rather than excess. His defining quality is a clinical edge in front of goal—he doesn't waste possession in the box and converts space with efficiency. Movement is purposeful; he finds pockets between lines and strikes cleanly when chances materialize.
