We have repeatedly seen Antonio Nusa rocket launch on the wing, dribble by two players, pull towards the middle, another feint, then the finish that makes the net flutter behind the goalkeeper. We have also seen the 21-year-old do the same, before elegantly passing the ball on for an assist. After Saturday’s game, the Norwegian international stands with 4 goals and 6 assists in 8 Bundesliga games. Absolutely crazy! With the last goal, a new barrier was also broken for Nusa.
Because against Schalke 04, the referee pointed to the penalty mark for RB Leipzig after 37 minutes. Antonio Nusa walked up to the ball – and put it into the goal behind former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius. Haven’t seen Nusa get in charge of a penalty before, you say? No wonder, because according to transfermarkt’s overview, Nusa has never before taken a penalty at senior level.

Thirteen minutes before the end of the game, Nusa was again involved inside the sixteen-yard box. This time, the 21-year-old rolled the ball to Romulo, who thanked for the opportunity and turned Nusa’s pass into an assist: 0-2 and victory for RB Leipzig, once again starring Nusa and Man of the Match for the second game in a row.
We love it!
