Just over a week after his own goal in the draw against Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig attacker Romulo has made a successful comeback. In the Saxons' 2:1 (1:1) draw with HSV in Hamburg, the 24-year-old scored a dream equalizer and later set up Yan Diomande's opening goal. But it didn't all work out: Romulo missed a penalty and missed the 3:1.
"The people gave me great support. I was a bit sad about the own goal, but it happens," said Romulo and then talked about his second goal with a back heel in his debut season. He had already scored a similarly beautiful goal against Heidenheim at the start of the season. "I like to do that sometimes in training. And then it happens in the game," he said. Romulo had scored the equalizer with his back to goal and under pressure with his heel.
