Video: Nico Paz scores first Champions League goal inside 2 minutes vs. Man United

Nico Paz has etched his name into Champions League history by netting his first-ever goal in just two minutes against Manchester United. The Argentine midfielder achieved this feat during his second appearance in the prestigious competition, as Como 1907 secured an impressive 1-0 victory over the English giants at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Wednesday evening.

The match kicked off at 17:45 BST, and Paz seized the opportunity to showcase his talent early on. He received the ball from Lucas Da Cunha, who delivered a precise pass from the right flank. Paz took two touches near the United penalty area before unleashing a left-footed shot that found the back of the net, bending into the far corner.

This remarkable goal marks Paz's first-ever appearance in the Champions League, and it demonstrates his potential to become a valuable asset for his team. In addition to this goal, Paz has already scored three other goals and provided four assists in 10 club appearances this season. He also contributed three goals while representing Argentina in recent international fixtures.

The Argentine's goal against Manchester United is particularly noteworthy, as it makes him the second-youngest South American player to achieve this milestone in the Champions League. Only Lionel Messi has scored against United in the competition at an even younger age. Paz's goal was a testament to his skill and determination, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with in European football.
