ÖFB Talent Yanik Spalt Celebrates Bundesliga Debut for Stuttgart
The 19-year-old is substituted in during the final phase of VfB's clear victory over Cologne.
A big moment for ÖFB legionnaire Yanik Spalt!
Just one day after his birthday, the 19-year-old VfB player makes his debut in the German Bundesliga during Stuttgart's dominant 4-1 home victory over 1. FC Köln.
Spalt gets his chance for his first minutes on the pitch in stoppage time, coming on for defensive midfielder Angelo Stiller. The ÖFB player is considered a great talent at coach Sebastian Hoeneß's club.
The ÖFB youngster primarily feels comfortable as a defensive midfielder, but he can also be deployed in the full-back position. Meanwhile, Stuttgart collects their first three points after their opening defeat against Bayern. Cologne loses for the first time in the young season after their 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim.
