At just 19 years old, Keita Balde Dao has become a fan favorite at Lazio Roma since scoring his first Serie A goal at the end of last year. Since then, he has been a regular in the first team and has consistently delivered outstanding performances. This was evident once again on Thursday in the Europa League.
Facing Ludogorets, Keita put Lazio ahead 1-0 at halftime, putting them in a good position to advance to the Round of 16. In the process, he also set a record by scoring just 17.8 seconds into the match, making it the second-fastest goal in the history of the Europa League. This remarkable feat has attracted attention from big clubs like Manchester United, despite Senegal’s interest in recruiting him.
Keita Baldé’s early goal for Lazio was timed at 17.8 seconds – the second-fastest goal in UEFA Europa League history.
