In the 2024 Copa Libertadores, one of the most historic moments in the entire competition unfolded as the young Iván Román became the youngest Chilean footballer to score in the history of the tournament.

At 17 years old, Román achieved this milestone in the Second Round of the championship during the match between his team, Palestino, and Venezuela's Portuguesa. The defender secured a 2-0 lead for his squad in the 69th minute after a corner kick.

"El Charru" is one of the promising young talents in Chile and is also part of the Chilean Youth National Team. With this goal, the young full-back has signaled that his career may be filled with significant successes.
