Last night, 17-year-old striker Gilberto Mora once again wrote his name in the history of Mexican football. In a friendly match with the Colombian national team on Sunday 26th June in Baltimore, Mora scored his first goal for the national team.

On the 62nd line, having recovered the ball from the penalty area, he beat several opponents and sent it into the net with a kick of his right foot, equalizing the score (1:1). This goal allowed the Mexicans to score a defeat in the debut match of Rafael Marquez at the head coach's seat.

On this very night Mora broke a historical record that lasted for nearly a century. Having scored 17 years, 11 months and 12 days, she became the youngest scorer in the history of the Mexican national team. Previously, this achievement belonged to Manuel Rosas, who scored 18 goals at the World Championship in 1930..

The goal at the goal of Colombia is far from the first historical achievement of a young talent in 2026. Mora has already amassed another collection of age-old records: He is the youngest player to have ever made his debut for the Mexican national team.

At the end of the day, he became the youngest Mexican to play at the world championship. (At the time of his debut, he was 17 years old and 240 days old, which also equaled Rosas' record from the 1930 year tournament). .
