Midfielder Altin Azemi made his debut at the age of 15 in the Swiss second division team, coming on in the 88th minute.
In the 94th minute, Neuchatel Xamaxi won a free kick. The responsibility for taking the shot fell to the 15-year-old Albanian. He scored a beautiful goal in the 6-2 victory over Schaffhausen and to write history in the Challenge League and consequently in Swiss football.
"Altin Azemi is the story of Monday's match. The 15-year-old was substituted in the 88th minute and made his professional debut. The Switzerland U16 player needed no time to warm up. Just six minutes after being activated, he received the ball for a free kick.
He sent the ball into the net and the celebration was ardent. After Azem took off his shirt and held it aloft like Lionel Messi, he received his first yellow card on his debut. At 15 years, 11 months and 2 days, Azem is now the youngest goalscorer in Challenge League history.
He surpasses the record held by Valon Duzhmani for almost 19 years. Duzhmani, now 35, scored for Kriens in July 2006, when he was 16 years, 5 months and 2 days old,” writes Swiss media outlet, “bluewin.ch”.
Azemi has two appearances for Switzerland U15 and nine for Switzerland U16. He has scored two goals for the latter. In the U17 league he has four goals in 13 appearances this season. He has also made two appearances in the U19 league in Switzerland.
