At 17, Wael Mohya scored a goal and provided an assist at Stuttgart (3-2), giving Borussia Mönchengladbach their first win of the season after six defeats.
Borussia Mönchengladbach have finally kick-started their season. At VfB Stuttgart on Bundesliga matchday 7, the Rhineland club won 3-2, according to Sky. It is their first win after six defeats at the start of the league campaign, a result to which Wael Mohya contributed, scoring and assisting in the same match.
The young forward, described by Sky as a Germany youth international, shaped the game. Joe Scally had opened the scoring in the 38th minute, before Mohya took his turn to shine. Gladbach travelled with a very depleted squad, according to Sportschau.
A decisive role in the second half
The story of the game puts Mohya at the heart of the success. According to Bundesliga.com, he first made it 1-1 with a solo effort, before setting up the 2-1 in the second half. He then scored the 3-1 himself, with a header, from a Joe Scally cross in the 66th minute. Sky, however, credits the player with only one goal and one assist, showing that the counts differ.
Mohya played around 70 minutes before being substituted, according to 90min. africasoccer credits him with two league goals this season, a statistic the other sources consulted do not allow us to verify.
A profile caught between two national teams
Mohya’s sporting nationality remains unclear. africasoccer describes him as born in Morocco, but Sky presents him as a Germany youth international. The sources consulted differ and do not allow us to state that he is a Morocco international, nor that he has chosen a national team for the rest of his career.
His performance was praised by coach Alexander Blessin, who gave a blunt verdict to Sky: “It was top, top, top.” The player himself told Fussballdaten: “It’s a great feeling to finally be rewarded with this first win.”
The table unchanged
The win changes nothing in the table: according to Absolut Fußball, Gladbach remain 18th despite this first success.
Blessin felt the win must be followed by others, Sportschau reports under the headline “Es muss so weitergehen” (“We have to keep it going”). The club’s next match is not identified in the sources consulted.
