Assan Ouédraogo Scores Two Minutes Into Germany Debut in 6–0 Rout of Slovakia

Opta says the 19-year-old is Germany’s youngest debut goalscorer in more than seven decades.

Overview

  • He entered in the 77th minute in Leipzig and netted 102 seconds later with a low finish for the final goal of the World Cup qualifier.
  • Leroy Sané supplied the chance with a backheel layoff, and the shot took a slight deflection before finding the left corner, according to AFP.
  • He was a late addition to the senior squad after Nadiem Amiri withdrew injured following earlier U21 duty.
  • Head coach Julian Nagelsmann welcomed his return to fitness after past injury setbacks and urged him to stay humble and hungry.
  • ZDF pundit Christoph Kramer praised his technique and versatility, while recent club form for RB Leipzig includes 10 Bundesliga appearances with two goals and three assists after a €10 million move from Schalke last year.
