Yan Diamonde Makes History with Hat-Trick in Bundesliga

A Remarkable Performance

This past Saturday (6), Yan Diamonde had a standout evening.

At just 19 years and 22 days old, the Ivorian striker for RB Leipzig made headlines by scoring a hat-trick, marking a significant milestone in the Bundesliga.

Record-Breaking Achievement

As per statistics from Opta, Diamonde’s achievement places him as the second youngest player to net three goals in a single league match.

He trails Walter Bechtold of Eintracht Frankfurt, who accomplished the same at the age of 18 years and 118 days in 1965.

Transition to RB Leipzig

Having transitioned to RB Leipzig earlier this year after a stint with Leganés in Spain, this performance underscores Diamonde’s growing impact in German football.
