CHILE, Oct 9 — Mexico’s teenage playmaker Gilberto Mora has lit up the Under-20 World Cup in Chile as he basks in the limelight afforded by the absences of Barcelona and Real Madrid stars Lamine Yamal and Franco Mastantuono.

“I don’t know if I’m the biggest star, and I’m not really interested in that. I think you can always give more,” 16-year-old Mora told AFP before Mexico’s 4-1 win against host nation Chile in the last 16 on Tuesday, in which he provided the assist for the opening goal.
