🚨 Just 16 years old: DFB-Pokal sees new youngest ever goalscorer

Are we witnessing the career start of a new German superstar? In the DFB-Pokal, a Hertha youngster has at least set a new record once again.

With his goal to make it 3-0 against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Kennet Eichhorn has made history.

The young midfielder, at the age of 16 years, 4 months, and five days, is the youngest goal scorer in the history of the DFB-Pokal.

In the predecessor competition, the Tschammerpokal, there were indeed younger goal scorers, but since the resumption after World War II, when the competition was renamed to DFB-Pokal, no one has been greener behind the ears than Eichhorn.

For the youngster, this is the next milestone in an impressive career start. Eichhorn can also already call himself the youngest player in the second Bundesliga.
