Top marks twice! Bayern stars shine in the U21 | OneFootball

Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof were on the pitch for 90 minutes in the match between the German U21 national team and Malta, leading the DFB youngsters to a resounding victory with absolutely top performances

6:0 was the final score for the German U21 national team against Malta, with Bayern youngsters Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof playing a decisive role in the scoring feast. While Bischof scored three times, debutant Karl contributed two goals

It took just nine minutes for Bischof to fire his first long-range shot into the bottom right-hand corner. Karl then flicked the ball into the left-hand corner in the 37th minute thanks to a lovely pass from Aljoscha Kemlein, making him the second-youngest ever scorer for the U21s after Youssoufa Moukoko

This was followed by two more impressive long-range shots from Bischof and an Arjen Robben-like dribble from Karl, which he completed with a wonderful finish into the bottom right-hand corner. The result: Both Bayern stars were awarded top marks by Sofascore – 10/10 points

Bayern youngsters not only shine with goals

However, Karl and Bischof’s goals alone were not enough to earn them top marks. Bischof, for example, also contributed an assist, playing the decisive pass before Karl moved inside to make it 5-0

Moreover, the new signing from Hoffenheim was not only highly accurate in his finishing. With a pass rate of 97%, he had the game fully under control. He only made two misplaced passes over the entire match, one of which was on a long ball, but 6/7 of them still arrived

Karl, on the other hand, shone not only with his goals but above all with his wit. 6/9 of his dribbles against the Maltese defenders were successful. As a result, he won a total of 9/13 duels. It was a truly impressive performance by the young Munich player, who, like his team-mate Bischof, is likely to have caught the attention of national coach Julian Nagelsmann.
