German-born Ghanaian defender Daniel Heber has been named in Sofascore's Bundesliga 2 team of the week for playing a crucial role in FC Magdeburg's 2-0 win over Hansa Rostock.
Heber scored his first goal of the season, helping his team secure an important victory in the clash at the Ostseestadion on Sunday.
Before the game, the head-to-head record between the two teams stood at five wins for Hansa Rostock, four wins for FC Magdeburg, and four draws. Despite Hansa Rostock having more possession during the match, it was FC Magdeburg who had more shots on goal.
Heber started the game and made his presence felt in the 40th minute when he scored with a header from very close range. The goal came after a set piece situation, with Baris Atik providing the assist with a cross. Earlier in the 18th minute, Luca Schuler had given FC Magdeburg the lead with a right-footed shot from the center of the box.
With this win, FC Magdeburg will look to continue their momentum in their next league game against VfL Osnabrück.
Heber, who has played 29 games in the league this season, will be hoping to contribute further to his team's success.
