The gold medals weren't the only prize for the player that evening.

Details: In the CONCACAF final, Mexico defeated the United States 2-1, but that wasn’t the only historic moment of the night.

Taking the field for Mexico was 16-year-old attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora, who became the youngest finalist in the history of international national team matches.

The Tijuana midfielder stepped onto the pitch at 16 years and 265 days old, dethroning the star Lamine Yamal, who had held the previous record at 17 years and 1 day.

After this achievement, the young talent has attracted the attention of top clubs around the world. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is now 3 million euros, making him a highly coveted target for many teams.

Reminder: Raúl Jiménez dedicated his goal in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final to Diogo Jota
