Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade, Bayern's Jamal Musiala, and Wolfsburg's Jonas Wind all managed to lead their respective sides to victory this weekend by coming off the bench to score two goals as substitutes. Woltemade's "blitz brace" on Friday night helped Stuttgart secure a spectacular comeback win over Union Berlin. Musiala sparked Bayern past Heidenheim. Wind handed Wolfsburg a dramatic late comeback victory over Mainz.

The last time even two substitutes scored braces occurred on match-day two of the 2016/17 campaign. Finnish striker Joel Pohjanpalo, then representing Leverkusen, managed a hat-trick of the bench in a 3-1 win over Hamburger SV while Mark Uth (then a Hoffenheim player) notched two goals in a 4-4 draw with Mainz. 

The last time three players served as definitive "Super Subs" came on match-day 28 of the 1990/91 season when Stefan Kohn (Bochum), Lothar Sippel (Frankfurt), and Martin Driller (Dortmund) accomplished the feat. The previous records do count as slightly more special as they came before the five-substitute-allowance became a regular feature of German football.
