"Goal means so much": Vuskovic pays heartfelt tribute to his brother | OneFootball

With his leading goal, Luka Vuskovic put HSV on the road to victory against Heidenheim. He dedicated the goal to his brother Mario.

The 28th minute of the game was underway when the noise level in the Hamburg Volksparkstadion soared to almost immeasurable heights: Super talent Luka Vuskovic had just relieved HSV and, after almost 300 minutes, provided the first successful experience of this Bundesliga season. After a free kick, the ball ended up with the central defender, who drove the ball into the net with a solid volley finish to make it 1:0.

Quickly, the 18-year-old formed a heart and pointed towards the stands, where his girlfriend and brother Mario were sitting. The central defender, who has been suspended since 2022, is still present at many home games. "That's why the goal means a lot to me," an emotional Vuskovic explained after the final whistle. "I am proud and very happy."

Vuskovic with curious injury

As before every game in his career, Luka had also exchanged words with Mario before the Heidenheim duel. "Sometimes he gives me sporting tips, sometimes personal ones," the teenager revealed. Therefore, it was very special to score in the same stadium where his older brother had played for almost a year and a half.

Vuskovic Junior, who had been a spectator at the Volkspark several times, experienced the crackling home game atmosphere for the first time. During the lost derby against FC St. Pauli (0:2), he was on the bench a day after his transfer. And his conclusion is consistently positive: "The fans are crazy. I hope it wasn't my last goal."

How eager he is for more goals was proven by Vuskovic in the 28th minute, when he missed a great chance for the 1:0. In the mixed zone, the Spurs loanee revealed that he injured two fingers in the subsequent frustration hit against the post. "I was angry that I missed such a big opportunity," said Vuskovic. At this point, however, he was already able to laugh again.
