The Hungarian offensive player, Roland Sallai, scored a brace against Bochum on Saturday: first with a right-footed shot and then with a header.
The renowned German sports magazine Kicker gave him the highest rating: an A. Sallai was named best player of the round and was particularly praised for his fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

Christian Streich also sees physical progress, saying: “That’s why he can win balls, which he shoots in himself afterward.”
