Mateusz Szczepaniak, 17, becomes the youngest player to score in UEFA Conference League history during Legia Warsaw's 3-0 win over Omonia.
Rising Polish talent Mateusz Szczepaniak has made history in the UEFA Conference League. The 17-year-old winger scored in Legia Warsaw's 3-0 away victory against Omonia, becoming the youngest-ever scorer in the competition at just 17 years and 327 days old.
Szczepaniak’s strike capped a dream season for Legia, who have won all four group stage matches so far. The teenager’s goal not only marked a record but also his first senior-level goal, showcasing his immense potential.
Already impressing at the domestic level, Szczepaniak made his Polish top-flight debut earlier in November and earned his first appearance for Poland’s U18 national team in October. His rapid rise signals a bright future for both him and Legia Warsaw.
The 2023/24 season has been a breakthrough year for the young winger, and fans are eager to see how his talent develops in the years ahead.
