U20 World Cup

Mexican striker loses a boot... but plays on and scores

Being without half of his footwear didn’t stop Jesus Escoboza at the U20 World Cup.

IT HAS HAPPENED to many of us in the past – you’re on a mazy run until a challenge from an opponent sends one of your boots flying.

When Mexican striker Jesus Escoboza lost his right Nike Tiempo during their 4-1 U20 World Cup win over Mali, however, it didn’t stop him from bursting through on goal before slotting past the goalkeeper with his remaining left.
