Sesko inspires Slovenia with hat trick and returns victoriously to Leipzig!

Benjamin Sesko: The star of the Slovenes shines after the dream Hattrick!

In a furious football night in European competition, Leipzig's miracle striker Benjamin Sesko (21) exceeded all expectations! In Slovenia's impressive 3-0 victory against Kazakhstan in the Nations League, Sesko was the undisputed hero of the game. With his phenomenal hat trick, he fulfilled a childhood dream - and once again showed why he is so popular in Leipzig.

"To achieve a hat trick for Slovenia was everything I wanted as a child on the lawn," enthuses Sesko after the game. He adds with confidence: "I hope more will be more." With this appearance he conquered the hearts of his fans in the storm!

spectacular gates and overwhelming ambition

Already in the 23rd minute the 1.95-meter giant conjured up an extraordinary gate: with an impressive dribbling, he left three defenders behind and hit the ball from an acute angle over the Kazakh goalkeeper Igor Shatkiy-a brilliant highlight!

not enough! Just five minutes later he grabbed the dust and increased to 2: 0 (28th). In the second half, with a header in the 63rd minute, he ended the final point of this brilliant appearance and sealed his personal triumph. His 15th goal in the 35th international game - a truly impressive result!

"The best thing is to use your quality to help the team, to lead and win. But without the team I couldn't do anything. I enjoyed the game," admits the young striker modestly. With such a self -confidence, Sesko will probably return to Leipzig on Tuesday.

Waiting for Union Berlin - an exciting duel is facing

Next Saturday (3:30 p.m.) his favorite opponent is already waiting: Union Berlin! In the last encounter in September 2023, Sesko not only achieved his first two Bundesliga goals, but also scored in the second half of the season in February. So it is high time to start the next round and shine again!

In contrast, it looks dark for its storm colleague Loïs Openda. After a shot 911 against Israel (3-1), he also stayed in the 0-2 against France without a hit. Under the former Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco, Openda is already 16 games without a goal. A depressing frustration that he has to take to Leipzig while Sesko shines in the spotlight and returns full of vigor.
