Bavarian Loan Works: Alexander Nübel earns another cap, Bryan Zaragoza scored first for Spain

This week, Bayern Munich loanees finished off an eventful international window. Lovro Zvonarek and Gabriel Vidović had a dramatic 120 minute affair with Croatia’s U21s in hopes of qualifying for the U-21 Euros. Bryan Zaragoza also scored his first international goal. Back in league play, Hyun-ju Lee and Maurice Krattenmacher both scored in the 2.Bundesliga. See what else the loanees accomplished this week:

FC Bayern Munich

There are nine players on loan from the first team.

Germany – Bundesliga

There are five players on loan in the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Franz Krätzig, Paul Wanner, Armando Sieb, and Gabriel Vidović.

Alexander Nübel – VfB Stuttgart

Nübel started for Germany away to Hungary on Tuesday, and played the full 90 minutes. Thanks to a big win the match before, Germany had already secured the top spot in the group, but it was nice to see Nübel get his second cap in as many international windows. He recorded five saves and held the shutout for more than 90 minutes, but could not save Dominik Szoboszlai’s penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time. This late goal caused Germany to split the points with a 1-1 final score.

Back with Stuttgart, Nübel started again on Saturday at home against Bochum. He recorded two saves, which was enough to earn a shutout for his team. Stuttgart scored two second half goals for the 2-0 win.

Stuttgart will travel to Serbia to face Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday in the Champions League. They will also travel to Bremen for a league match on Saturday.

Franz Krätzig – VfB Stuttgart

Krätzig was not in the matchday squads for Stuttgart’s first or second team this weekend. Hopefully he can get some more playing time soon.

Paul Wanner – 1.FC Heidenheim

Heidenheim was away to Leverkusen on Saturday and went up 2-0 within 21 minutes. Wanner came off the bench in the 28th minute due to an injury to Pieringer, who had already provided an assist. Wanner did not have a shot, nor a chance created for his teammates to shoot on the day. Leverkusen came back with a vengeance and had the match tied up just minutes after Wanner came on. Three second half goals from Leverkusen made it five unanswered and Leverkusen cruised to a 5-2 win.

Heidenheim will host Chelsea on Thursday in the Conference League. They will also host Frankfurt in Bundesliga play on Sunday.

Armando Sieb – 1. FSV Mainz 05

Mainz was away to Holstein Kiel on Sunday and was up 3-0 in the second half before Sieb entered in the 80th minute. He only had six touches, but completed all four passes he attempted. He was unable to put anything else into the match, but his team did not need it. The match ended in a 3-0 road win.

Mainz will host Hoffenheim on Sunday.

Gabriel Vidović – 1. FSV Mainz 05

Vidović was in Croatia for the return match of their Euro U-21 qualification against Georgia. He did not come into the match in regulation, but the aggregate score of 3-3 forced extra time, when Vidović came onto the pitch. He was unable to help Croatia find a goal in extra time, but scored the first goal in penalty kicks. Unfortunately, Croatia fell 7-6 after an epic shootout.

Vidovic was not in the matchday squad for Mainz, but now shows on the injury report after his international stint. It states that he has an ankle injury and will be missing until late December. We wish him a quick recovery, but we may not see him until after the winter break.

Spain – LaLiga

Bryan Zaragoza is the only player on loan to Spain’s LaLiga.

Bryan Zaragoza – CA Osasuna

Zaragoza was on the bench for Spain in their final Nation’s league group match against Switzerland. He came into the match just moments after Spain retook the lead at 2-1 in the 69th minute. In the 85th minute, he received a yellow card for dissent after Switzerland was given a penalty — which they scored to equalize. Less than ten minutes later, Zaragoza was brought down inside the box to win a penalty. He stepped up an buried his shot from the spot to earn his first goal at the senior level for Spain and helped Spain win to finish off Nations League group play.

Zaragoza returned to the starting lineup in Osasuna’s return to league play. He may have had a little hangover from national team duty, as he was unable to record a shot, nor did he create a chance for his team to shoot. He also completed just 53% of his passes, but his team was still up 2-0 in the first half thanks to a brace from Budimir. Zaragoza was subbed off in the 78th minute when they were up 2-1. A penalty in stoppage time for Villareal leveled the match at 2-2, and split the points.

Osasuna will travel to face Sevilla on Monday, December 2.

Austria – Bundesliga

Lovro Zvonarek is the only player from the first team on loan to the Austrian Bundesliga.

Lovro Zvonarek – Sturm Graz

Zvonarek was with Croatia’s U21s in their return match against Georgia in the second of two matches for a final spot in the U21 Euros. Zvonarek started and played the full 120 minutes, which were not enough to settle the match. Unlike, Vidovic, his fellow Bayern loanee, he did not step up to take a penalty. Croatia fell 7-6 in the penalty shootout and in a heartbreak, misses out on next year’s U21 Euros.

After going the full 120 minutes with Croatia, Zvonarek was not in the lineup for Sturm Graz. They won big 7-0 at home against SK Austria Klagenfurt.

Graz will host Girona on Wednesday in the Champions League, before travelling to face Altach in league play on Saturday.

Maurice Krattenmacher is the only player from the first team on loan to the 2. Bundesliga

Maurice Krattenmacher – SSV Ulm 1846

Krattenmacher also received a yellow card deep into stoppage time for a bad foul.

Ulm will host Greuther Fürth on Sunday.

Just six minutes later, Lee scored his second goal of the season to equalize at 1-1 with a shot from near distance following a corner. Unfortunately, the match was only level for about four minutes before Darmstadt scored again. Lee left the match in the 77th minute, but Hannover was unable to find an equalizer and the match ended with a 2-1 loss.
