At home, Union Berlin defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 this Friday (17th), in the opening match of the seventh round of the 2025/26 Bundesliga.
And the center-back Danilho Doekhi, from the home team, was the big standout of the match with two goals.
The first goal, in fact, brought Doekhi to his ninth headed goal since his Bundesliga debut in August 2022, after making a name for himself at Vitesse in the Netherlands.
Want to know the most impressive detail? No other defender in Europe’s five major leagues has scored more headed goals in that period.
Only the Brazilian Gabriel Magalhães, from Arsenal, matches the feat, also with nine goals. The data is from Opta.
Strength, timing, and positioning make Doekhi a constant threat in the opponent’s box. A defender who defends well… and attacks even better.
9 - Union Berlin's Danilho Doekhi has scored nine headed goals in the Bundesliga since making his league debut in August 2022. No other defender in Europe's five big leagues has scored more headed goals since then (Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhães also 9). Set-piece. pic.twitter.com/9F1cIk3NSO
