Young Star Eichhorn: 'Big Contribution' to Hertha's Success - 16-Year-Old Kennet Eichhorn Smashes DFB-Pokal Scoring Record in Style
Hertha BSC’s Kennet Eichhorn has set a new record in German football. The 16-year-old became the youngest scorer in the DFB-Pokal’s postwar history during a commanding 6-1 win over 1. FC Kaiserslautern. His goal broke a record previously held by Jude Bellingham.
Eichhorn’s milestone came in the round of 16 clash on Wednesday evening. With Hertha already leading 2-0, he found the net to extend the advantage to 3-0. The strike marked his first senior goal in just his twelfth competitive appearance.
The record-breaking goal adds to Eichhorn’s growing reputation as one of Germany’s brightest young talents. Hertha BSC will now prepare for the next stage of the DFB-Pokal, with their youngest-ever scorer playing a key role. The club’s 6-1 win also sent a strong statement ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
