Highlights: The Lazio player scored the 3-0 in the 34th minute of the first half against New Zealand. Romero is the son of Diego Adrián Romero, former footballer of Quilmes and Atlético Rafaela. At the age of 10 he was signed by Mallorca of Spain and since 2021 he plays in the Lazio of Italy (14 games, 1 goal). With his left-footed and his start full of vertigo and gambeta he reminded Maradona and Messi.


The Lazio player scored the 3-0 in the 34th minute of the first half against New Zealand, in San Juan, with a shocking definition.


The Argentina U20 team has its ticket secured to the knockout stages of the World Cup it organizes. And in the third round of Group A he needed at least one point to secure first place: in the first half he won 3-0 over New Zealand, but the highlight of the day was Luka Romero's goal.

There were 34 minutes of the first half, Argentina was up on the scoreboard by the goals of Ignacio Maestro Puch and Gino Infantino, but Romero was going to add the strawberry to the dessert of the first stage. He dominated the ball in the middle of the court, still in the Argentine field and from there he did not stop.

He was surrounded by three rivals, but he threw a pipe, accelerated and got rid of them. He ran with the ball stuck to his left hand as the line of five defenders of the Oceanic team retreated, desperate. When he reached three quarters of the rival court, he took a left-footed shot to the angle that made the San Juan team get up from their seats. And from their armchairs to all the Argentines who followed the game on television.

Romero is 18 years old. He is the son of Diego Adrián Romero, former footballer of Quilmes and Atlético Rafaela, and of long experience in Ecuadorian and Mexican football. Luka was born in Durango, Mexico, on November 18, 2004 when his father played in that country. At the age of 10 he was signed by Mallorca of Spain and since 2021 he plays in the Lazio of Italy (14 games, 1 goal).

With his left-footed and his start full of vertigo and gambeta he reminded Maradona and Messi. Ball stuck to the left, slalom at full speed to leave the rivals in the way and finish at the angle. A gem.
