With his goal against Costa Rica during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Spain’s sensational Gavi became the youngest player to score in the World Cup since Pele in 1958. The adolescent prodigy is currently only 18 years and 110 days old. He is now the player with the third-youngest goal in the major football competition.

Costa Rica was completely destroyed by La Roja in their inaugural Group E match, 7-0. Gavi’s amazing side-footed volley gave his team their fifth goal.

Spain coach Luis Enrique also spoke about Gavi’s goal in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He said (via Barca Blaugranes):

“I don’t know. I hope he’s going and playing every time better and trying to be aggressive with and without ball. He’s unique, very different because he’s 18 now, but he has the personality of an experienced player. It is a pleasure to play with the boy, because he is a boy. He needs a bit of calm sometimes but we are very happy to have him in the team. I think he’s going to be one of the stars of football.”
