Portugal's Rodrigo Mora finishes as 2024 U17 EURO top scorers

Rodrigo Mora of Portugal finished as UEFA European Under-17 Championship finals top scorer with five goals.

The Porto player equalised in Portugal's 3-2 last-four comeback win against Serbia to help set up their final date with Italy. He had already got the Matchday 1 winner against Spain, two in the 4-1 defeat of England and another in the 2-1 quarter-final victory over Poland.

Already this season, Rodrigo Mora had been joint-top scorer in the UEFA Youth League. Only once before has a player top-scored in a UEFA national-team and club competition in the same season, Joel Queirós, also for Portugal at UEFA Futsal EURO 2010 and for Benfica in their 2009/10 UEFA Futsal Cup success. Dominic Solanke was among those who had come close, being leading scorer in England's 2014 U17 EURO triumph then repeating the feat in Chelsea's successful 2014/15 UEFA Youth League run.

Six players were tied on four goals, among them Italy's Francesco Camarda after his double in the 3-0 final win against Portugal. Also on that tally were Austria's Oghenetejiri Adejenughure, Mihajlo Cvetković of Serbia, Poland's Michael Izunwanne, Mikey Moore of England and Czechia's Ondřej Penxa.

Camarda's two final goals did mean he finished level with Tottenham Hotspur prospect Moore as top scorer for the campaign overall, including qualifying, on eight. That was one ahead of Rodrigo Mora and Portugal team-mate Gabriel Silva, as well as Adejenughure, Jakub Adkonis of Poland and Spain's Adrián Arnuncio.
