Teenager Naci Unuvar became the youngest player to score on debut for Ajax with a nerveless penalty in Wednesday s KNVB Beker thrashing of amateur side Spakenburg.
Aged 16 years and 223 days, attacking midfielder Unuvar was introduced for the final 15 minutes in Amsterdam and rounded out a 7-0 rout after he was brought down in the box.
Unuvar s record-setting goal might be of interest to Barcelona, who reportedly monitored the Netherlands youth international during last year s U-17 World Cup.
I immediately asked Klaas-Jan Huntelaar if I could take the penalty, because he would normally take it, Unuvar told Fox Sports Netherlands after the match.
It was great that everyone let me [take it] and was happy for me. The keeper went to the wrong corner. It was a really nice moment.
Siem de Jong led the way for Ajax with a perfect hat-trick in the dominant last-16 victory, while Lassina Traore scored twice and Dusan Tadic netted the other.
