Union Berlin’s striker Andrej Ilic is experiencing a truly disastrous season so far—at least when it comes to scoring goals. As a striker, that’s naturally the main thing he’s judged on.
In 21 appearances, the Serbian still hasn’t scored a single goal. At least he has already provided nine assists. But when it comes to finding the back of the net, it just isn’t working out. Against Hamburger SV, the 25-year-old even missed an open goal.
HSV keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes misjudged a ball, let it slip past him, and Ilic really just needed to tap it in.
But under heavy pressure from Jordan Torunarigha, he put the ball wide to the left of the goal. In the immediate counterattack, HSV captain Nicolas Capaldo was able to score the opening goal. A double blow for Union and Ilic.
