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).
Roberto Dias Roberto Dias Branco or simply Roberto Dias (7 January 1943 in São Paulo – 26 September 2007) was a footballer with São Paulo FC in Brazil. He was considered by Pelé to be the greatest Brazilian central defender of the 1960s and 1970s. He was known for his finesse on defense—a player who didn't need to show a rough side. He just knew how to cover and always seemed one step ahead of the forwards he covered—including Pelé. Pelé said that Roberto Dias was the only central defender who could truly mark him. In one game between Pelé's Santos FC and São Paulo FC in the 1967 edition of the Campeonato Paulista, which ended in a 3–3 draw, Dias, kept Pelé scoreless while scoring 2 goals in the process.
