Mainz loanee Marlon Mustapha scored his second Bundesliga goal in Admira’s 2-0 home win over Altach on Saturday night. Coach Andi Herzog briefly went into raptures afterwards.
After two games without a full win, Admira landed a 2-0 home victory against Altach on Saturday and climbed to fifth place in the table, at least until Sunday. Most striking man: ÖFB U-21 team player Marlon Mustapha, who scored the winning goal from close range
Admira coach Andreas Herzog, asked by “Sky” about his young protégé, didn’t waste much time: “A top striker and for me the best man today.”
Mustapha himself said: “You’ve seen in the last few weeks that we’re doing well, making good steps and to reward ourselves with the three points today is outstanding.” He was also self-critical about his missed chances: “We could have done better.”
Herzog gave a similar hint, saying: “We could have closed the bag much earlier. “
U-21 debut?
New chances to adjust his sights (even) better may come for Mustapha in the U-21 national team, which competes in the European Championship qualifiers in Estonia (8 October) and Finland (12 October). He has been called up several times, but his debut has been a long time coming.
