16-Year-Old Forward Enters History Books

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — Lamine Yamal became the youngest player ever to score at a major tournament when the 16-year-old netted a stunning goal for Spain in their semi-final victory over France at Euro 2024.

Yamal's history-making goal came in the 72nd minute of a thrilling contest. The teenage forward received a pass on the edge of the area and unleashed a powerful shot that flew into the top corner of the net, leaving French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with no chance.

Spain eventually emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, securing their place in the final. However, it was Yamal's moment that stole the headlines, as he became the youngest player to score in a men's European Championship.
