A 3-0 victory essentially confirmed Stuttgart's relegation qualification, while Hamburg may have to regrettably lose the first division. In this game, Borno Sousa provided 2 assists, which became the main credit for the team's victory.
Just one minute into the game, Sousa sent in a pass and Greece international Mavpalov scored in front of goal to give Stuttgart a dream start. In the 54th minute, Sousa took a corner kick and Kirasi, who snatched the spot in front of goal, scored the third goal. A big win also gave the team enough confidence to relegate. If they lose the next game, they can stay in the Bundesliga.
Sousa missed 11 games in two-tier matches this season due to intermittent injuries and accumulating yellow cards. But the old man still played his strength, and has already brushed up 2 goals and 12 assists this season, which can be called the team's left engine.
In the 12th and 14th rounds of the league, Sousa provided assists in three consecutive rounds, and the team also scored six points. In the 20th and 22nd rounds, he scored or assisted in three consecutive rounds, but unfortunately in the next game against Bayern, he missed the game due to eating cards, and the team lost 1-2. In the DFB-Pokal win over Bielefeld, he scored an assist hat-trick.
With these 2 assists, his stats have improved to 2 goals and 12 assists this season. Sousa, who mainly plays left-back, has a good set-piece footwork and passing skills, and he is also a famous knife guard in the Bundesliga.
Sousa missed too many games in his first season at Stuttgart due to injury and the team was sadly relegated. He chose to stay and upgrade with the team. For the next three full seasons, he played well on the offensive end. In the 20/21 season, he handed out 10 assists in the league. In the 21/22 season, he swiped the double line with 2 goals and 9 assists. This season, he brushed his data to the best. In the next game, the team also relied on his excellent performance, and it was not known whether Sousa could score or assist.
Since joining the team, Sousa has five goals and 35 assists in 112 games for the team, and can produce one goal in less than four games. The team has scored just 60 goals on both sides this season, and he has scored 12 goals alone by a full-back, which is a statistic that has put many central midfielders to shame.
In the Croatian national team, Sousa also scored his first national goal in the UEFA Nations League. He also played in the Qatar World Cup finals with the national team, finishing third with the team. He is a current Croatian international and will play more games with the team in the future. Many giants have expressed interest in him before, and Stuttgart may also sell him for cash.
