Bastian Assomo scores four on Germany U-17 debut in 7-0 win over Azerbaijan

Bastian Assomo scored four goals after coming off the bench for Germany U-17 in a European Championship qualifying match against Azerbaijan at the DFB-Campus in Frankfurt on Wednesday, November 11, helping the hosts to a 7-0 victory. The 16-year-old Bayern Munich II forward netted all four strikes within a 21-minute spell after being introduced in the second half.

Assomo, who is 6ft 3in and plays as a right-footed centre-forward, has enjoyed a breakthrough season with Bayern’s youth and reserve sides. He found the net in pre-season, scoring in the 15-0 win against Rottach-Egern and providing the winner in a 2-1 victory over Jeju SK during Bayern’s tour of South Korea earlier in the campaign.

Born on January 3, 2010, in Berlin, Assomo is of Cameroonian descent and began his development at the Füchse Berlin Reinickendorf academy. He moved to Hertha Berlin in 2023, spent two years with the Berlin club, and transferred to Bayern Munich’s academy ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Vincent Kompany included Assomo in Bayern’s matchday squad for the Bundesliga game against Mainz 05 in April 2026, though he did not play. Assomo received his first call-up to Bayern Munich II in May, started the Regionalliga Bayern match against VfB Eichstätt for his professional debut, and scored his first professional goal eight days later in a 5-0 win over Viktoria Aschaffenburg.

Across this season’s appearances for Bayern’s reserve side, Assomo has recorded seven goals and four assists in 16 games in all competitions. Internationally, he represented Germany at U-15 and U-16 levels before making his U-17 debut in the qualifier against Azerbaijan; he remains eligible to represent Cameroon.

His four-goal showing in the European Championship qualifier capped what the club has described as a breakthrough season. He is highly regarded by the Bayern coaches and can expect more first-team exposure during the current season.
