FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) – American Christian Pulisic got his first goal for Borussia Dortmund on Sunday, and the 17-year-old from Hershey, Pennsylvania because the fourth-youngest player to score in the Bundesliga.

Pulisic scored with a well-placed shot inside the near post from a pass from captain Mats Hummels in the 38th minute, and Dortmund went on to a 3-0 win over Hamburg.

“It was super, well played by Mats,” Pulisic said in German.

Pulisic was 17 years, 212 days on Sunday. Dortmund teammate Nuri Sahin holds the record for youngest scorer at 17 years, 82 days, according to Kicker magazine.
