Ghanaian forward Jamie Leweling has shared his excitement after inspiring Stuttgart to victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga.
Leweling scored a crucial goal as Stuttgart cruised to an emphatic 3-0 win over their opponent in the week 29 fixture.
The 22-year-old proved pivotal in securing victory for VfB Stuttgart, who are in the hunt for UEFA Champions League qualification.
“It was a very good game for us. We totally dominated in the first half and it was a successful Saturday evening. I've had enough situations in the past where I wanted to shoot the ball perfectly. The fact that he went through Kevin Trapp's legs today was more of a coincidence. I'm even happier. We have a great new cabin and feel comfortable. I like it," he said after the game.
The scoring spree began with Guinean forward Serhou Guirassy, who etched his name in the club’s history by netting his 25th Bundesliga goal, surpassing Mario Gomez’s record.
Denis Undav swiftly doubled the lead in the 17th minute, just six minutes after Guirassy’s opener, before Leweling sealed the victory in the 37th minute with his fifth goal of the campaign.
Leweling, who hails from Nurnberg and boasts Ghanaian heritage, has yet to make a senior international appearance for Germany, keeping the possibility of representing the Black Stars open.
Although named in former coach Charles Kwabla Akonnor’s squad for a Black Stars match, he was unable to honor the call-up. Nevertheless, Leweling has showcased his talent representing Germany at various youth levels.
