Bastian Assomo puts on a goal-scoring spectacle for the German U17 team. The Bayern prospect came off the bench against Azerbaijan and found the back of the net four times.
What a performance by Bastian Assomo! The young FC Bayern striker led the German U17 team to a 7-0 victory over Azerbaijan with a four-goal performance. In the opening match of the 2027 European Championship qualifiers, the 16-year-old didn’t enter the game until the second half—and went on to score all four of the German team’s remaining goals.
At the DFB Campus in Frankfurt, coach Michael Prus’s team was already on track before Assomo entered the game. Milo Barde capitalized on a misplaced back pass to open the scoring in the 14th minute. Then, another Bayern player, Roko Ciglar, made it 2–0 (32’) after a assist from Shevin Matondo.
Shortly after halftime, Linus Güther made it 3–0 (48′) with a spectacular volley. After that, the spotlight was on Assomo, who turned what was already a decisive victory into a personal highlight by scoring four goals in the span of 22 minutes.
Bayern prospect Assomo scores four times after coming off the bench
In the 63rd minute, the forward opened his scoring spree with a powerful finish to make it 4–0. Eleven minutes later, he added his second goal. With the score at 6–0 in the 79th minute, Assomo powerfully broke through the opposing defense to score his third goal.
He put the finishing touch on the game in the 85th minute. This time, the striker capitalized on a pass from a teammate: Linus Ludwig set up Assomo, who slotted the ball home for the 7-0 final score. Thus, the Bayern talents played a significant role in Germany’s successful start to qualifying that afternoon.
Assomo transferred from Hertha BSC to Bayern Munich’s youth academy in the summer of 2025. The Berlin native has already made a name for himself at the record-holding champions. During summer training, he was one of the standout young players and scored a goal in a friendly against Jeju SK.
He has also enjoyed success at the international club level. In Bayern’s U19 team’s 6-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt to kick off the Youth League, Assomo was involved in several dangerous plays and scored the final goal himself in stoppage time.
For the German U-17 team, the first qualifying round now continues with two more matches in Frankfurt. Lithuania awaits on Saturday at 11 a.m., followed by Northern Ireland on Tuesday at the same time. After his four-goal performance, Assomo has given strong reason to believe he will play a key role in these matches as well.
