Mohamed Amine Amoura’s exceptional performance on Saturday helped Wolfsburg VfL secure a dominant 4-0 victory against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. The Algerian striker netted two goals in quick succession during the first 16 minutes, marking a historic feat for the club.
Amoura’s first goal came in the 4th minute, as he capitalized on a well-delivered cross into the box, maintaining composure to slot it home.
His second, in the 16th minute, was a clinical finish following a sharp feint that left the Leipzig goalkeeper helpless as the ball found its way between his legs.
With this brace, Amoura became the first Wolfsburg player in over 12 years to score twice within the first 15 minutes of a Bundesliga match, a record previously set by Diego Cunha in 2012.
This performance adds to an already impressive season for the 23-year-old, who has made a significant impact since joining Wolfsburg on loan from Union Saint-Gilloise.
With his contribution of 4 goals and 6 assists across just 10 league matches, Amoura has cemented his position as one of the most influential players in the Bundesliga this season.
His 10 goal involvements place him among the top four in the league, ahead of high-profile names like Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush.
Amoura’s rapid rise in German football has sparked interest from major European clubs, and with his current form, he is well on track to surpass his personal best and become a key player for Wolfsburg.
His loan contract includes an option to purchase, and based on his performances, this seems all but certain.
Following his remarkable display, Wolfsburg continues to push for a higher league standing and aims to challenge for a top position in the Bundesliga.
Amoura, now one of the standout young talents in European football, is set to face Hoffenheim in the German Cup, another opportunity to add to his growing reputation.
