Another tournament, another goal for Mora.
Rising star Gilberto Mora continues to live up to the hype, scoring yet again for Club Tijuana in their 2-0 away victory over CF Pachuca on Saturday night.
Gilberto Mora goal: 16-year-old scores header against Pachuca
The 16-year-old midfielder opened the scoring with a powerful header inside the box, helping secure Xolos’ first win of the Apertura 2025 Liga MX tournament.

The goal marks another milestone in what has already been a remarkable young career. Since debuting at just 15 for his boyhood club, Mora has now scored in every competition he’s featured in — four in total.
His strike against Pachuca in the Apertura 2025 adds to goals scored in the Liga MX Clausura 2025, the Apertura 2024, and twice in this summer’s 2025 Leagues Cup — becoming the youngest goalscorer in the history of both tournaments. He also scored in the 2025 MLS All-Star Match.
With momentum now in their favor, Mora and Club Tijuana look ahead to a major challenge: hosting Mexican powerhouse Chivas at Estadio Caliente on Friday, August 22.
If the teenage phenom’s current form is any indication, Xolos fans will be hopeful that Mora can rise to the occasion once more.
