BVB defender Niklas Süle still holds this record at another Bundesliga club | OneFootball

Whenever there are changes in relevant Bundesliga statistics, the specialist magazine Kicker reports on them, always mentioning the other relevant record holders as well. This was also the case when, on the last matchday, Werder Bremen’s Karim Coulibaly set a new club record.

With his equalizer in the fourth minute of stoppage time during Werder Bremen’s home game against Bayer Leverkusen, he not only secured a point for the Hanseatic side and indirectly led to the dismissal of Bayer’s coach Erik ten Hag, but also became the youngest Bundesliga goalscorer in Werder Bremen’s history.

Two years ago, BVB had shown interest in signing Coulibaly, but the transfer ultimately did not happen. Now, at 18 years and 60 days old, he is the youngest Werder player to have scored a goal for the club in the top division.

Dortmund defender Niklas Süle holds the same record. However, not at BVB, but at TSG Hoffenheim, where he scored against FC Bayern Munich more than a decade ago, on November 2, 2013. Although Süle’s goal in that 1:2 defeat didn’t earn any points, it did secure him a place in the history books of the then still very new Bundesliga club—a record that still stands today.

“Wonderkid” Moukoko Record Holder at BVB

At the same time, this also highlights that Niklas Süle, about a dozen years later, is already in the autumn of his career. His body will probably still function at the highest level for a few more seasons, despite the fact that he hasn’t always treated it professionally, but perhaps not for too many more.

The youngest goalscorer for his current club, Borussia Dortmund, is of course Yousouffa Moukoko, who is also the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history. He was just 16 years and 28 days old when he scored for BVB in a 1:2 defeat. This away loss at 1. FC Union Berlin took place on December 18, 2020, when Moukoko made history, though he returned to Dortmund without any points.

In the meantime, BVB has parted ways with Moukoko, who ultimately could not live up to expectations in the long run. At his new club, FC Copenhagen—whom BVB will also face in the Champions League—things are going better again for the youngest goalscorer in Borussia Dortmund’s club history.
