Unbelievable eleven minutes! Kenan Yildiz makes Serie A history in Juventus Turin's crazy catch-up game

Sensational debut for 17-year-old

Juventus Turin celebrated a furious catch-up race on Saturday evening. After falling behind 0:2 against Salernitana, the Bianconeri turned the game around to 3:2 in the final phase and thus secured important points in the fight for the international places.

Kenan Yildiz played a decisive role in the success. The 17-year-old came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and immediately made his mark on the game. In the 85th minute, he equalized to make it 2-2, before his strike partner Arkadiusz Milik scored the winning goal one minute later.

Yildiz becomes the youngest Juventus scorer in Serie A history

With his goal, Yildiz became the youngest player to ever score for Juventus in Serie A. At 17 years and 28 days, he is almost two months younger than Mirko Vucinic, who scored his first goal for the Old Lady in 2006 at the age of 17 years and 169 days.

Juventus coach Allegri praises Yildiz

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was full of praise for Yildiz after the game. "He's a great talent," said the Italian. "He's still very young, but he has shown today that he has great potential. I'm sure he will have a great future."

Yildiz's performance was also praised by his teammates. "He played very well," said captain Leonardo Bonucci. "He's a very talented player who can make a difference for us."
