In a 6-0 triumph over San Marino on Thursday, Borussia Dortmund attacker Youssoufa Moukoko, 16, became the youngest player to participate and score for Germany Under-21s.

He is the youngest 16-year-old to play for Germany's Under-21 team, and he scored twice in the first half to help the visitors to a 5-0 halftime lead in a European Championship qualifier at Serravalle.

Moukoko, who debuted in the Bundesliga the day after his 16th birthday, set a new record for the youngest player to do so. At the age of 16 years and 18 days, he became the youngest player to participate in the Champions League.

When he scored in Dortmund's 2-1 defeat at Union Berlin last December, he set a new Bundesliga record for the league's youngest goalscorer, beating the previous mark by more than a year.
