This weekend marked a historic moment in the Spanish championship as Jonathan Zongo etched his name into the annals of La Liga. At just 22 years old, Zongo became the first Burkinabé to score in the league, a feat that has captured the attention of fans and pundits alike.
Taking to the field against Getafe, Zongo found the back of the net, securing a crucial victory for his Almeria team, currently positioned 15th in Liga.
Jonathan Sundy Zongo’s journey reads like a fairy tale. Last August, the Burkinabé talent was unable to participate in La Liga due to his amateur contract, despite his contribution to Almeria’s promotion to the top flight. However, with his status now resolved, Zongo has seized every opportunity on the pitch to showcase his skill. His La Liga debut came on January 4 in Almeria’s 3-0 win over Granada.
With a contract extending until 2017, it’s clear that Zongo’s story is far from over. His emergence as a talent to watch has undoubtedly piqued the interest of football enthusiasts everywhere.
