Who is Gilberto Martínez Ayala?

Guillermo Martínez Ayala is a Mexican soccer player who currently plays as a striker for Puebla F. C. in Liga MX and last night, he left everyone with their mouths open when he scored a spectacular Chilean goal to save La Franja from defeat. 

The player started playing soccer in the Basic Forces of Pachuca in 2009, where he began to have excellent performances in the U-15, which caught the attention of the scouts of Pachuca's first team, where they decided to try him in Pachuca.

The scouts then decided to try him out in Pachuca Juniors and basic forces, U-17 and U-2, and after having outstanding performances he made it to the first team with Enrique Meza, however, he would debut with Diego Alonso in the 2015 Clausura.

Where and when was Gilberto Martínez Ayala born?

Martínez Ayala was born in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico on March 15, 1995, so he is 26 years old and has played in various soccer teams in Mexico.

For example, after starting his career in Pachuca, he was loaned to Lobos BUAP for 1 year without the option to buy, where he had very little activity since he only played 15 games and only 3 goals.

After that season, he was loaned to Deportivo Tepic for 6 months for the Apertura 2016.

In Tepic the player would have better luck as he played 17 games and scored 8 goals, including a hat trick against Loros de Colima, finishing as the team's top scorer.

With these outstanding performances, the player arrived at Chivas on December 12, 2016, on a 1-year loan with an option to buy, being the second reinforcement of Chivas for the Clausura 2017.

However, on May 30, 2017, he was not part of Matias Almeyda's plans, so he signed with Mineros de Zacatecas.

He would later play for Cafetaleros de Chiapas and Celaya, before joining Puebla, where he would leave everyone dazzled, with the Chilean kick with which he saved Puebla last night.

What was Gilberto Martínez Ayala's bicycle kick that saved Puebla from defeat against Atlas?

The duel against Atlas was tight and after a series of attacks on both goals, the Zorros managed to score through Julián Quiñones.

Quiñones received a pass and withstood the pressure of the rival defense to get close to the goal and shoot, thus beating Antony Silva.

However, in the final, agonizing minutes of the match, Puebla saved the tie with a play worthy of a photograph. 

Memo Martínez took advantage of a pass that reached the rival area and with his back to the goal, he took the ball and executed a bicycle kick that gave La Franja life.
