Elias Saad and Samuel Essende grabbed goals for St. Pauli and Augsburg respectively in the 27th matchday of the German Bundesliga on Saturday.
Tunisian international Saad struck against giants Bayern Munich whilst Essende was on target in a one all draw against Hoffenheim.
Saad, who was on the bench in both of the Carthage Eagles' World Cup qualifier wins during the March FIFA window, leveled matters for the Bundesliga newcomers in the 26th minute with a finish inside the box after Bayern defense was caught napping.
The Bundesliga leaders won the tie 3-2 against St. Pauli but the 25-year-old Tunisian left Allianz Arena with a goal to remember. Saad now has three Bundesliga goals in his bag.
DR Congolese striker; Essende struck barely seconds after his introduction against Hoffenheim. The French-born forward finished off a great ball from close range as Augsburg were able to claim a point in a 1-1 draw.
Essende was an unused substitute in Congo’s 2-0 win over Mauritania in World Cup qualifier but has so far bagged six league goals for Augsburg.
St. Pauli remain in the relegation fight as they occupy 15th with 25 points. Augsburg are eighth with 39 points as they chase for European football next season.
