Goalkeeper:

Matheo Raab, Union Berlin

Stepping in for the injured Frederik Rønnow, Raab put in an excellent performance, making six saves to help Union Berlin to a clean sheet and win.

Defenders:

Danilho Doekhi, Union Berlin

A key figure in Union’s defensive solidity, Doekhi won all nine duels he contested, helping his side maintain a clean sheet.

Midfielders:

Julian Ryerson, Borussia Dortmund

Ryerson was a creative engine for Dortmund, delivering six (!) key passes, including the assist for their second goal.

Kevin Stöger, Borussia Mönchengladbach

Given a rare start in Rocco Reitz’s absence, Stöger rewarded the trust with a brilliant first-half free-kick goal and was generally one of Gladbach’s biggest attacking threats with three shots and a key pass.

Johan Manzambi, Freiburg

Manzambi put in an energetic performance in midfield, winning 12 duels and completing 85% of his passes, including two key passes.

Paul Nebel, Mainz

Nebel contributed both on the scoresheet and in build-up play, making three key passes.

Playing as an attacking left wing-back, Führich excelled with his passing, providing the assist for Stuttgart’s match-winning goal.

Strikers:

Deniz Undav, Stuttgart

A constant attacking threat, Undav made the difference with the winner against Leipzig, adding two successful dribbles and a key pass to his contributions.

Karim Adeyemi, Borussia Dortmund

Using his pace effectively, Adeyemi opened the scoring for Dortmund and caused constant problems for the opposition.
