Unmatched match
Gabriel's performance playing three age groups above shocked spectators during the junior match against Derby, winning 4-0.
The boy's hat-trick included goals scored in the 5th, 14th, and 27th minutes, giving his team a 3-0 lead by halftime.

The team captain Amir Ibragimov, 17, scored the fourth goal from a penalty in the 66th minute, securing victory for his team.
Incredible season start
The youth players of Manchester United currently share the top spot with U18 Manchester City, having achieved four clean victories in four league and cup matches.
This season, thanks to Gabriel, seems to be successful as he has already scored five goals in the first three games.
The 14-year-old athlete, son of former EFL player Joe O'Kearula, received special attention during the first team match against Arsenal on August 17.
A few days later, he and his family were invited to meet the first team's head coach Ruben Amorim at Carrington.
Although Gabriel will not be able to play in the Youth Association Cup due to age restrictions, he is expected to continue training with the first team to develop his skills.
One fan wrote on social media: 'JJ Gabriel should help during Matheus Cunha's injuries.'
Another user noted: 'How could I forget about my star boy JJ Gabriel? Invest in his career now!'
Gabriel signed a contract with the club for the next two years, despite interest from European teams, and he is considered potentially the youngest player in the club's history in the Premier League.
Young talent Gabriel plans to train with Ruben Amorim's first team throughout the season

His achievements reflect the potential that could play a crucial role in the team's future. Watching his progress this season will be very interesting as he has already gained recognition as one of the brightest young talents in British football.
