Mexico have a superstar on their hands with 17-year-old midfielder Gilberto Mora, who started against England in the World Cup round of 16.
Earlier this week, Mora became the second youngest player to start a knockout game at the World Cup since 1958, when a young Pele scored in each of Brazil’s three knockout games.
He did pip Pele in a different category, though. Winning the Gold Cup with Mexico last summer at just 16 made him the youngest player ever to win a trophy with the national team.
Mora’s story is just beginning, but here’s what we know so far about the wonderkid midfielder.
Mora plays with Club Tijuana in Liga MX. He made 54 appearances this past season, scoring ten goals and laying on two ****** ists. Pretty impressive for a teenager.
