Ovelar's first goal came a week after making his professional debutImagine scoring your first professional goal in the biggest club fixture in your homeland. For Fernando Ovelar, that unlikely dream became a reality on a Sunday. Ovelar, who is two months short of his 15th birthday, scored the opening goal for Paraguayan top-flight team Cerro Porteno in their Superclasico against arch-rivals Olimpia. Ovelar is the youngest player to have featured in Paraguay's top division - but not the first 14-year-old to score in professional football. Mauricio Baldivieso, who played in Bolivia's top division aged 12, is the youngest player to ever play professional football.
