Christian Kofane
20-Year-Old
Bayer Leverkusen
Bundesliga
Scores in first league start
Kofane scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against FC Augsburg.
ANALYSIS
Kofane made the most of his first Bundesliga start of the season, latching onto Edmond Tapsoba's pass before beating his defender and finishing to give Leverkusen the lead in the 18th minute. He remained active with four attempts before Patrik Schick replaced him after 63 minutes. Kofane has now scored twice through three Bundesliga appearances this season, strengthening his case for further starts despite competition from Schick.
