The young midfielder, at the age of 16 years, 4 months, and five days, is the youngest goal scorer in the history of the DFB-Pokal.

In the predecessor competition, the Tschammerpokal, there were indeed younger goal scorers, but since the resumption after the Second World War, when it was also renamed the DFB-Pokal, no one has been greener behind the ears than Eichhorn.

For the youngster, it is the next milestone in an impressive career start. Eichhorn can also call himself the youngest player in the history of the second Bundesliga.
