Youngest ever football gold medallist in the history of the Olympic Games?

According to the current text: Pedro Petrone "was 19 years and 1 month old when he received the 1924 gold medal and the tournament top-goalscorer award, still remaining to this day the youngest ever football gold medalist in the history of the Olympic Games."

I would doubt this statement: e.g. born in late August 1978, Nigeria's Celestine Babayaro was decidedly younger at the 1996 Olympics Games (where he also scored in the final, 26 days before his 18th birthday), leading to Nigeria's second ever Olympic gold medal (the first was won a day earlier, in the women's long jump ). Thus, I would like to request a revision of the quoted sentence. Thanks in advance.
