Ghanaian winger Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer expressed his delight after contributing two goals to Hamburger SV’s 2-1 win over FC Köln in the German Bundesliga 2 on Friday evening.
“Every one of us gave everything. Despite small mistakes, what counts is that we won eventually. I’m glad that I was able to help the team today with my two goals,” Königsdörffer said post-match.
The match, held at the RheinEnergieSTADION, saw Königsdörffer shine as he played the full 90 minutes.
Königsdörffer opened the scoring in the 5th minute with a right-footed shot from close range, finding the bottom right corner. He doubled the lead in the 35th minute, again using his right foot to slot the ball home from the right side of the six-yard box. Despite FC Köln’s dominance in possession and shots, Hamburger SV maintained their lead.
FC Köln pulled one back in the 78th minute through Linton Maina, who headed in a cross from Dejan Ljubicic. However, it was too little too late as Hamburger SV held on for the win. The victory takes Hamburger SV’s head-to-head record against FC Köln to 9 wins, 7 losses, and 4 draws.
Hamburger SV will next face Hertha BSC in their upcoming league game on August 10th.
