Yet four months ago, at the CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Guatemala, it was the same Gerson Lima, now 18, who scored two group stage goals to take his side through to a quarter final against USA, where he made it a third to achieve a 2-1 victory over the fancied North Americans, booking a berth at the FIFA U-20 World Cup finals and triggering wild celebrations from the more than 13,000 Guatemalans filling the stands.
