Ghana forward Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer responded to his Black Stars snub with a brace to inspire Hamburger SV to a thumping victory at Magdeburg on Friday evening.
The 23-year-old, who is having a prolific campaign in the Bundesliga 2, opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a fine strike as HSV got off to a flying start.
Six minutes later, the visitors doubled their lead after Marcus Mathisen scored an own goal.
After the break, Konigsdorffer netted his second to extend the advantage for Hamburger in the 53rd minute and register his eleventh goal of the season.
Despite his rich run of form, Konigsdorffer was not included in Otto Addo’s latest squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar next week.
The German-born forward has been instrumental for the Bundesliga 2 leaders as they continue their quest for a return to the topflight league.
