Germany’s most talked about talent has been featured in the Bundesliga.

With a dream goal, Youssoufa Moukoko became the youngest scorer in the Bundesliga for his Borussia Dortmund: 16 years and 28 days.

A stick in the depths, a rock-hard left-foot hitting right into the roof of the net before Union Berlin goalkeeper Andreas Luthe had had time to react and Youssoufa Moukoko had written the story.

The 16-year-old made his second straight game from the start since former coach Lucien Favre was fired, making his 1-1 tying goal the youngest to paint in the German Bundesliga.

“The best 15 year old boy I have ever seen”

Moukoko has lived with the stamp of prodigy since he was 13 years old and took a place in Dortmund’s 17-year-old team where he scored goals. On the 19-year-old team, he scored 34 goals in 20 games last year and throughout the fall he has impressed Team A while hoping they were old enough to play in the top league.

– I never thought I’d seen a 15-year-old boy so good. He is a much better player than I was when I was 15 years old. He trains with the older players in Dortmund and is able to take on them. I was at Bryne when I was 15, you can’t compare it, said Erling Braut Haaland, whom he now replaces earlier this fall.

However, it was not a goal to save points. Berlin’s Marvin Friedrich reached the top corner in the 78th minute and headed Union Berlin 2-1, who are now just one point behind Dortmund in fifth place.
