Victor Osimhen Shines as Wolfsburg Triumphs in Friendly Against St.Pauli
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess, contributing to Wolfsburg’s commanding 3-1 victory over Bundesliga 2 club St.Pauli in a friendly match held on Friday in Marbella, Spain. The fixture, hosted at the San Pedro de Alcantara, forms a crucial part of Wolfsburg’s rigorous preparations leading up to the resumption of the Bundesliga season on Friday, January 12.
Despite St.Pauli taking an early lead in the fifth minute, Wolfsburg swiftly responded with an equalizer by Jeffrey Bruma in the 12th minute. Osimhen, at the age of 19, showcased his scoring instinct by putting Wolfsburg ahead 2-1 in the 27th minute. The victory was sealed by Daniel Didavi, who netted with eight minutes remaining.
Wolfsburg’s next friendly fixture is set against another Bundesliga 2 side, Dynamo Dresden, on Saturday at the same venue. The team is meticulously fine-tuning their strategies for a challenging second half of the Bundesliga season, where they are scheduled to face Borussia Dortmund in an away match on Sunday, January 14.
Currently occupying the 12th position with 19 points in the 18-club league table, Wolfsburg aims to build on the positive momentum gained from the friendly encounter. Osimhen, who has played in five league games this season without finding the back of the net, appears to be hitting his stride at a crucial juncture, contributing to the team’s aspirations for success in the upcoming Bundesliga fixtures.
