One of the greatest talents of the FIFA scene has made his debut in the Virtual Bundesliga Club Championship. 16-year-old Dane Anders "Vejrgang" Vejrgang plays for RB Leipzig.

For the first time, the young e-athlete went to the controller against Yannic "Yannic" Bederke from FC Augsburg. It was a bumpy start, at the kick-off of the second half, the RB player conceded the 0:1 - and had to smile himself.

But Vejrgang turned the game around: 2:1-winning goal in the 86th minute, Becker-Faust, relieved laughter. In the second individual match, the sensation followed. Christian "xImpact" Judt from SpVgg Greuther Fürth won 2:1 against Vejrgang.

The Dane earned his stage nickname "Wunderkind" in FIFA 21. In the "Weekend League", the then 15-year-old won 535 games in a row. In addition, there were numerous triumphs in online tournaments such as the "Eligella Cup" of the influencer Elias Nerlich.

FC Ingolstadt 04 scored nine points against SV Darmstadt 98 (3:1; 2:1; 5:1) and also won against 1. FSV Mainz 05 (1:0, 1:4; 2:1). With a goal at the very last minute, the Ingolstadt team overtook the "Red Bulls" and are the new league leaders of the South-East division.
