The Burkina Faso international got his maiden goal in the European elite club competition against the Serie A giants at the Gewiss Stadium
Two records tumbled for Lassina Traore who scored his first Champions League goal in Ajax’s 2-2 draw versus Atalanta on Thursday.

Having scored five and assisted three goals in Erik ten Hag’s men 13-0 decimation of VV Venlo on Saturday, he was handed his first ever start in the competition against Gian Piero Gasperini’s men.

In the process, the 19-year-old became the 30th different teenager to start a Champions League match for the 34-time Eredivisie kings – the most of any team in the competition’s history, overtaking Arsenal who are on 29.

The Burkina Faso international justified his place in the starting XI by having a hand in the goals scored by the Dutch team. In the 28th minute, he won a penalty for Ajax having been fouled by Robin Gosens who attacked him with a high boot while trying to clear a cross from Dusan Tadic.

Tadic converted the resulting kick after beating goalkeeper Marco Sportiello. Traore doubled his side’s advantage in the 38th minute after slotting home a rebound from Sportiello’s initial save.
