Ice cold finishing and fire in his heart | Keisuke Goto becomes Freiburg’s latest super-sub
Story updated
The story in brief
9-second readKeisuke Goto's sensational two-goal cameo against Wolfsburg has further endeared him to Freiburg supporters. Christian Günter and Julian Schuster praised the young Japanese striker's finishing ability, infectious personality, and response to recent setbacks.
From the source
Keisuke Goto has done it again. The 21-year-old Japanese striker emerged from the bench to score twice in SC Freiburg’s dramatic 3-2 DFB-Pokal victory over VfL Wolfsburg on Wednesday evening, earning enthusiastic praise from teammate Christian Günter and head coach Julian Schuster.
The youngster needed just 23 minutes to turn Freiburg’s fortunes around. Goto equalized with a superbly timed header from Vincenzo Grifo’s 76th-minute corner before collecting a long ball from Philipp Lienhart and producing a magnificent first touch and delicate finish to complete Freiburg’s stoppage-time comeback.
There was something extraordinary about the efficiency of Goto’s performance. The striker registered just eight touches, attempted four passes, and took three shots. Two of those efforts found the back of the net, with the Japanese international scoring twice from an expected goals total of just 0.53.
