👶 He takes over from Mbappé! Bosnia wonderkid makes World Cup history

With his शानदार solo goal to make it 1-0 for Bosnia against Qatar, Kerim Alajbegović has just made World Cup history. At 18 years and 276 days old, he now ranks 8th on the list of the youngest scorers in the tournament’s history. 

Only Dmitri Sychev, Nicolae Kovács, Michael Owen, Ibrahim Mbaye, Gavi, Manuel Rosas, and of course Pelé were younger. But that’s not all: as reported by the data platform 'Opta', he is the youngest player to score from outside the box since records began in 1966. 

In doing so, he also replaced none other than Kylian Mbappé (19 years, 207 days at the 2018 World Cup). 


Thanks to his goal, the Bosnia wonderkid is keeping his team’s hopes of reaching the round of 32 alive. As one of the best third-placed teams, the Bosnians could still qualify.
