Japanese national striker Machino Stoe (25) scored his seventh goal of the German Bundesliga. He has the most goals scored by any Asian player in the four major European leagues (England, Spain, Italy and Germany) this season.
At 2:30 a.m. on Saturday (Korea time), Machino started the home game against Dortmund in the 17th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season at Holstein Stadion in Kiel, Germany. Having played as a member of the three-top team, he scored the first goal to display stellar performance. Holstein Kiel defeated Dortmund 4-2.
On the day, Machino formed a triangle formation with Aleksander Bernhardtson (26) and Phil Hares (22). He also joined Bernhardtson to attack under Hares, who is at the forefront of the team. As expected, Dortmund had a high market share, putting pressure on Holstein Kiel. However, a single shot from Machino shocked Dortmund.
Bernhardtson, who caught Dortmund's throw-in error in the 27th minute of the first half, delivered a pass to Machino near the penalty box, and Machino shook Dortmund's net with a right-footed shot. Because the shot flew quickly and accurately, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (27) could not reach properly and lost a point.
Holstein Kiel, who gained momentum after Machino's first goal, beat Dortmund one after another. The gap widened further when Hares scored in the 32nd minute of the first half and Bernhardtson scored in the 4th minute of extra time of the first half. Holstein Kiel, whose three-top were all on the score sheet, allowed a chase for a while, but Jannfete Arp (25) sealed the score and beat Dortmund in the 8th minute of extra time in the second half.
Football statistics magazine "Foot Mob" gave Machino 8.1 points for scoring the first goal. It was the second highest score after Bernhardtson (8.5 points) and Hares (8.4 points), who each scored one goal and one assist. During the 76 minutes, he scored one point, created two chances, made 14 passes (success rate 64 percent), successful ground ball competition three times, and successful aerial ball competition one time. 토토사이트
Machino, who will play in the big league for the first time in this season, has already scored seven goals in the league, demonstrating his competitive edge. He has scored the most goals among Asian players who are active in the four major leagues in Europe this season. Strikers representing Asia, including Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham Hotspur and six goals), Mehdi Taremi (32, Inter, one goal), Hwang Hee-chan (28, Wolverhampton, two goals), and Kaoru Mitoma (27, Brighton, three goals), have displayed their scoring capacity at an unprecedented time.
With Machino's active performance, coach Harjime Moriyasu (56) of the Japanese national team has agonized a lot. Japan already has abundant resources as a central striker in Europe. Ayase Ueda (26, Feyenoord) is out for the season, but he has many options including Koki Ogawa (27, Neimeheon), Yuki Ohashi (28, Blackburn), and Kyogo Furuhashi (29, Celtic). With the addition of Machino, the Moriyasu Japan offense has become thicker.
