    12-year-old Mauricio Baldivieso given professional debut in Bolivia

    From correspondents in La Paz, Bolivia
    July 20, 2009

    Bolivian top flight football side Aurora have handed a debut to 12-year-old Mauricio Baldivieso in a 1-0 loss to FC la Paz.

    Mauricio came on six minutes before halftime, sent into the fray by coach Julio Cesar Baldivieso, who happens to be youngster's father.

    Mauricio had a somewhat brutal introduction to the professional game as he picked up an ankle knock within five minutes from ferocious tackle by La Paz's Henry Alaca.

    But to the delight of Aurora's fans, who gave him an ovation, the youngster was able to resume after treatment pitchside.

    "I am proud - he has a lot of talent," said his father.

    This could only happen in Bolivia!

    Not sure which bit I prefer, the fact that his dad got him on the team or the fact that some defender tried to murder a 12 year old on the pitch

    It's like that episode of the Simpsons when Homer took over from Flanders as the coach of the kids football team.

    He was seen leaving the ground with Paris Hilton and heading to a local nightclub.
