Manuel Rosas was the youngest goal scorer in World Cup history until the player who scored how many goals in his career broke his record?
Manuel Rosas Manuel Rosas Sánchez (April 17, 1912 in Mexico City – February 20, 1989), nicknamed "Chaquetas", was a Mexican footballer who participated in the 1930 FIFA World Cup. He was the first player in the history of FIFA World Cup who scored a goal from the penalty kick spot (against Argentina). With the first goal he scored during the World Cup, he became at the time the youngest player to have scored in the FIFA World Cup, a record later broken by Pelé, although Rosas remains second youngest. He was also the first Mexican player to score multiple goals in world cup play (the first to score more than two goals was Luis Hernandez, 68 years later) and the first player to score a own goal in the history of FIFA World Cup (against Chile).

As coach, succeeding mid-1962 the Hungarian Béla Guttmann in office, he led the club to the Uruguayan championship of the same year. In the later part of 1963 the Uruguayan goalkeeper Roque Maspoli succeeded him.
