That was a statement! Union’s new striker leaves Nübel reeling | OneFootball

With Ilyas Ansah from Paderborn, Union Berlin has signed a relatively unknown player for the striker position. So, it's nice of the young man to introduce himself properly in the Bundesliga right away.

At least Stuttgart goalkeeper Alex Nübel now knows exactly who Ilyas Ansah is.

After an involuntary header from VfB defender Jaquez, Ansah got the ball about 23 meters from the goal, controlled it with his chest, and sent it towards Nübel with a full swing. The goalkeeper could only watch as the ball hit the inside of the left post and went into the goal.

But that's not all: Just before the break, the new signing from Köpenick quickly scored his second goal. With that, the 20-year-old might have good chances of securing a starting spot for the next few weeks - in Union's starting lineup and in Alex Nübel's dreams.
