It’s a crazy story. Bundesliga debutant Julian Malatini hadn’t even been on the pitch for two minutes when he slotted home to make it 3-1. Even the 22-year-old himself was a bit taken aback following his decisive goal in the 3-1 win over SC Freiburg: “I was suddenly in a position where I don’t usually find myself,” the Argentinean explained shortly after the game.
