🥇 In the DFB-Pokal rout, HSV teen breaks age-old club record | OneFootball

At just 16 years and 320 days old, Louis Lemke immediately wrote his name into the history books of Hamburger SV. The young talent crowned his performance with the goal that made it 3–0, overtaking none other than club legend Uwe Seeler as the youngest competitive goalscorer in HSV history.

“Uns Uwe” had held that historic record for more than seven decades. Seeler was 17 years and 283 days old when he scored in the DFB-Pokal against Eintracht Trier in 1954. Now, 16-year-old Lemke sits at the top of this proud ranking.

After the break, the record youngster needed almost no time to get going: in the 46th minute, he set up Grönbaeck’s second goal, and in the 50th minute, he coolly scored the 3–0 himself.

The goal put the finishing touch on a match in which third-division side SC Verl started strongly, but ultimately had to admit defeat after a brace from HSV pro Grönbaeck. In the end, the stage belonged entirely to HSV’s new record goalscorer.
