Gilberto Mora keeps impressing with his skill and composure despite his young age. In the 2025 MLS All-Star Game, he once again stood out by scoring the only goal for the الدوري المكسيكي الممتاز فريق.
After the match, Club America’s André Jardine, who led the Mexican squad, praised the 16-year-old highly. The Brazilian coach described him as a “gem” that Mexican soccer must nurture.
“I’ve dedicated my life to working with young talent in youth systems, and it’s rare to see a player like him,” Jardine said. “Mexico has a gem here, it’s not normal to see a player like that, he is an exceptional player. He possesses great character, is taking full advantage of his وطني team experience, and he’s undoubtedly special. I believe he embodies a bright future for Mexican soccer.”
Nico Estevez, the Spanish coach of the نجوم الدوري الأمريكي لكرة القدم و نادي أوستن لكرة القدم, also praised the young talent.
“I think he is a very talented player, one of the most gifted Mexico has right now, and very young. He makes everything look easy and makes every play seem effortless,” he said. “Those kinds of players are the ones who stand out. He has a bright future ahead, but he’s still young. He needs to keep growing and continue working hard.”
Mora became the youngest ever player to win an international tournament after lifting the Gold Cup with Mexico at 16 years old just a few weeks ago, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
