Gilberto Mora, the Mexican midfielder from Tijuana, saw the four-star in Mexican football history during the victory over León at the age of 15 years and 320 days.

Tijuana hosted León in its current stadium for the 2024 season’s sexta jornada, with Mora taking the win 2–1 in the 65th minute with a remate in the region.

“Golly historic! Gilberto Mora is converted into the younger champion of the Liga MX”, validates the Mexican first division on his social speech.

On October 14, 2008 in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas -certainly from Mexico-, Gilberto Mora made his debut in the first Mexican division on August 18 against Santos (minute 72) by the Colombian director Juan Carlos Osorio.

The following day, August 23, the last 32 minutes could be played before Monterrey.

While he started before León, with the unusual number of 251 on his back, registered in the under 19 category of Tijuana, Gilberto Mora can start his first part as a titular on the maximum circuit and is convinced of his more young years in the future and el balompié azteca.

The previous record set by Mexican Mexican Yael Padilla was set with the Guadalajara Marco against León on July 3, 2023, at 17 years and 196 days.
