Gilberto Mora breaks Mexican national team scoring record
Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora has made history as the youngest goalscorer for the Mexico national team. At 17 years and 347 days old, Mora scored the equalizing goal in a 1-1 friendly draw against Colombia in Baltimore, breaking a 96-year-old record previously held by Manuel Rosas.
Following his performance, Mora was awarded the number 10 jersey for the national team. His rise has attracted significant interest from major European clubs, including Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. While some analysts, such as Cristóbal Soria, suggest that the teenager needs more consistent playing time to develop before being a starter for elite European sides, others highlight his immense potential.
Mexico's head coach, Rafael Márquez, has compared Mora's rapid development to that of Lamine Yamal. Márquez emphasized the importance of protecting the young player from excessive media pressure and ensuring he continues to enjoy his growth within a stable environment.
