Karim Adeyemi (4/10) – Adeyemi was introduced as a halftime substitute for Julien Duranville but failed to make any kind of impact, touching the ball only thirteen times and doing little with it. For someone with such agility, Adeyemi was beaten in every run. He was substituted before the end of the half. 

Maxi Beier (7/10) – Maxi Beier sometimes struggles when he’s not played as the central striker, but when he came in for Brandt, he made an immediate impact. Beier acted as something of a false-nine in this match, and he was rewarded with an impressive sliding goal. 

Salih Özcan (5/10) – Özcan is back, and his most notable contribution was his clearance that nearly resulted in his own goal.
