"Nübel started for Stuttgart in their return to Bundesliga play at Bayer Leverkusen. The road team got off to a hot start and gave Nübel four first half goals. That led to a 4-0 win at halftime. On the day he saved all three shots that came from normal play. The only shot he could not keep out of the back of the net was a penalty by Grimaldo. Stuttgart started off 2026 off with a great 4-1 win."
"Ibrahimović started for Heidenheim in their home match against FC Köln. He had three shots - two on goal and one off target - and created one chance for his teammates to shoot. His team was up two different times, including a 2-1 lead at halftime, but Köln leveled shortly after halftime. He was subbed off in the 60th minute with the match level at 2-2. Neither team would score and the match ended in a draw."
"Sieb started 2026 on the bench as Mainz travelled to face Union Berlin. He came into the match in the 78th minute with Mainz up 2-1. He was unable to have an influence on the match in the 12 minutes he played with zero shots and no chances created. Unfortunately he saw Union get a late equalizer and the match ended 2-2."
