Olinga becomes La Liga’s youngest scorer
Filed Under EN
The Cameroon-born forward came on as a 58th-minute substitute to make his league debut and got the 84th-minute winner as the new season got under way.
At only 16 years and 98 days, Olinga is 191 days younger than current Athletic Bilbao player Iker Muniain who had held the previous record for youngest scorer.
Meanwhile, Federico Fazio and Alvaro Negredo grabbed first-half goals for Sevilla in a 2-1 home win over Getafe.
Ex-Sevilla defender Alexis Ruano pulled one back for the club from the outskirts of Madrid, but the hosts were stronger and deserved the points on a baking hot night in the southern city. In the late game, kicking off at an unprecedented 11pm local time, Israeli forward Tomer Hemed scored twice to help Mallorca beat Espanyol 2-1.
