Scores hat trick in cup win
Pejcinovic scored a hat trick in VfB Stuttgart's 4-0 win over FC Hansa Rostock in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.
Analysis: Pejcinovic delivered a standout scoring display in cup play shortly after joining Stuttgart on a transfer from Wolfsburg. This performance could help his case for a larger attacking role as he enters a tough competition with Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirovic. The new signing had notched eight goals over 30 appearances in the2025/26 Bundesliga campaign, and the Pokal hat trick was the third of his career considering first-division and cup play, making him an exciting young attacking option for the upcoming season.
Scores in victory to qualify
Pejcinovic scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over FC St. Pauli.
Analysis: Pejcinovic added Wolfsburg's third goal in the 80th minute, calmly finishing to make it 3-1 and effectively lock in a crucial three points in their Bundesliga survival fight. He also produced four shots (three on target) and created two chances across 89 minutes, constantly troubling St. Pauli's back three with his direct, aggressive running. Pejcinovic will aim to make an impact again in Thursday's first leg of the Bundesliga playoff as Wolfsburg push to secure their place in the top flight.
