Pietuszewski is FC Porto’s youngest ever foreign starter

Oskar Pietuszewski arrived at FC Porto a few weeks ago and, this Sunday, set a new record: he became the youngest ever foreign player to join the starting lineup of the Dragons in official matches.

In the Nacional-FC Porto match, Pietuszewski was the initial choice of Francesco Farioli at just 17 years and eight months, surpassing Anderson and Juan Iturbe in this record.

The winger, signed by FC Porto from Jagiellonia Bialystok in January, remained on the field until the 60th minute, when he was substituted by his compatriot Borja Sainz.

Iturbe had made his starting debut in the Portuguese Cup against Pêro Pinheiro (0-8 in 2011) and Anderson had gained Co Adriaanse's trust in a Marítimo-FC Porto match (1-2) also in the Cup, in 2006.
