Ghanaian-German forward Jamie Leweling was instrumental in Stuttgart’s impressive 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga, expressing his joy at the team’s performance. The 22-year-old scored a crucial goal, helping his team in their quest for a UEFA Champions League spot.
Reflecting on the game, Leweling highlighted the team’s dominance in the first half and the success they achieved on Saturday. He admitted that his goal, which slipped through Kevin Trapp’s legs, was somewhat accidental, but nonetheless he was thrilled with the outcome. The young forward also mentioned his satisfaction with the team’s new locker room facilities, saying that they feel comfortable and it has a positive impact on the players.
The match saw Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy make history by scoring his 25th Bundesliga goal for Stuttgart, surpassing a record previously held by Mario Gomez. Denis Undav extended the lead just minutes after Guirassy’s goal, and Leweling sealed the victory with his fifth goal of the season in the 37th minute.
Hailing from Nurnberg with Ghanaian roots, Leweling has the option of representing either Germany or the Black Stars internationally. While he has yet to earn a senior cap for Germany, he has showcased his talent at various youth levels. The forward was included in former Black Stars coach Charles Kwabla Akonnor’s squad for a match but was unable to accept the call-up at the time. Leweling’s performance for Stuttgart highlights his potential and the exciting prospects for his future in professional football.
