Bayer defender and Spanish national team player Alejandro Grimaldo has achieved a historic success in the Bundesliga.
Idman.biz reports that the 29-year-old left-winger scored twice from free kicks in the 3rd round match against Eintracht.
The Leverkusen representative won the match with a score of 3:1. Grimaldo accurately targeted the goal in the 10th and 90+8th minutes. The team's other goal was scored by Patrik Schick.
This achievement had not been recorded in the Bundesliga for 11 years. According to calculations by the "StatMuse" portal, Grimaldo is the first football player to score twice from set pieces in one game in the German championship. The last time such an indicator was recorded in the "top-5" leagues of Europe was in 2022.
According to "Opta Sport", Grimaldo has already scored 6 goals from free kicks for Bayer. This is the highest indicator in the leading leagues of Europe since the start of the 2023/24 season.
It should be noted that in the current season, the Spanish defender has appeared in 4 games in all tournaments, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist.
