JAKARTA - Barceloa winger Lamine Yamal set another record. This time, he was listed as the youngest goalscorer in Spanish La Liga history in Barca's match against Granada at the Nuevo Los Carmenes Stadium, Monday, October 9 in the morning WIB. However, Yamal failed to bring Barca to victory because the match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Yamal scored the first goal while reducing Barca in first-half injury time. He fired from close range when he broke into Granada's goal. The goal was created when Yamal was 16 years old and 87 days old.

Thus, Yamal broke the record of Fabrice Olinga who scored for Malaga in the 2012/2013 season. He broke into Celta Vigo's goal when he was 16 years and 98 days old. Olinga with Iker Munian, Ansu Fati and Xisco Nadal have indeed confirmed the record for the youngest goalscorers.

Previously, Yamal set a record as the youngest debutant when he was first fielded to strengthen Barca.

He is also the youngest Spanish national team player to make his debut and score against Georgia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers last September.

Despite setting a record, Yamal failed to bring Barca to victory in an away match. Even the Blaugrana almost lost if not saved by Sergi Roberto who scored to equalize the score.

In that match, Granada immediately kicked off. Even the game has only been running for a minute, Marc-Andre's goal has been conceded by Bryan Zaragoza. He finished the assist from Lucas Boye.

A quick 1-0 lead made Granada even more excited. They tried to put pressure on Barca's defense. As a result, Zaragoza scored a brace in the 29th minute.

The remaining two goals, Barca began to fix the team's game. The visitors began to show their dominance. Only, they had to be patient waiting for the goal until finally Yamal broke the deadlock towards the end of the first half. The score also changed 2-1 for Granada and lasted until the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, Barca managed to get up. But they still have difficulty breaking through the host's defense. Robert Lewandowski's absence center forward seems to affect the sharpness of Barca's front lines.

Barca's efforts finally paid off in the 85th minute. Roberto's goal came after he met Alejandro Balde's cross. The score became 2-2 and did not change until the end of the match.

The draw made Barca fail to shift Girona, who is in second place with 22. Barca, which has 21 points, stuck in third place. Meanwhile, the leader of the standings is Real Madrid, who has 24 points.

Granada itself maish is stuck in the relegation zone. They are ranked 19th or one strip from below with six points.
