In the three Bundesliga matches in September against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC St. Pauli, Alejandro Grimaldo was always in the starting line-up. The Spaniard played a key role in the Werkself's 3-1 home win with his two wonderful strikes from free-kicks against Eintracht Frankfurt. As captain in the absence of the suspended Robert Andrich, he then played in the 1-1 draw against the Foals, followed by a 2-1 away win at FC St. Pauli last weekend, in which Grimaldo set up Ernest Poku, who had just come on as a substitute, for the winning goal.
