An unlikely sight in Bolivian football on the weekend, as Aurora Cochabamba manager Julio cesar Baldivieso allowed his 12 year old son to make his debut in a league game.
Cochabamba were down 1-0 against La Paz, when Baldivieso brought on his young son Mauricio.
The youngster wasn't well-received and immediatelly mowed down by an opponent. After receiving injury treatment however, Mauricio returned to the pitch with an ovation from the fans as result.
Although Baldivieso junior couldn't turn around the result, he does become the youngest player ever to make his debut in South American soccer. Mauricio turns 13 on Wednesday.
