Kevin Diks Becomes the First Indonesian to Score a Goal in the Bundesliga

FAJAR.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Kevin Diks showed a great performance when strengthening his team, Borussia Monchengladbach.

Kevin Diks managed to help Borussia Monchengladbach achieve a 3-1 victory over Koeln in the German Bundesliga in the match which was held at the Borussia-Park Stadium on Saturday (8/11/2025).

Also special in this match, Diks managed to score his first goal for the club since joining at the start of this season.

This record feels even more perfect, because a player from Indonesia became the first Indonesian player to score a goal in the highest German football competition.

Diks scored Monchengladbach’s second goal with a penalty in the 61st minute after his team received a penalty due to handball from Koeln defender Kristoffer Lund.

He was so calm in his execution in front of the goal that the opposing goalkeeper, Marvin Schwabe, did not move.

Apart from scoring goals, the Maluku player’s statistics were also impressive in this match.

Diks was able to record 93 percent passing accuracy and made 12 important sweeps. Making him one of the most influential players in Monchengladbach’s back line.

Based on data from Fotmob, Diks received a rating of 8.5, the highest among all the players who competed in the match.

Meanwhile, another statistics site, SofaScore, gives a score of 7.9, only slightly below Philipp Sander (8.3) and Franck Honorat (8).
