NewzThe 20-year-old was making his first Bundesliga start for Elversberg and made an immediate impact, scoring the second goal of the afternoon just a minute after Lukas Petkov had opened the scoring. Campbell pounced on a loose pass before finishing clinically to send the Elversberg fans into raptures. It was the American U-23 international’s first Bundesliga goal, and there could be plenty more to come for Elversberg after such an impressive showing on Matchday 1.
Campbell proved a constant threat on the left flank, showcasing his quality on the ball and his eye for goal. Watch: Elversberg 3-2 Bayer Leverkusen - highlights Very little chance was given to Elversberg, who had a win probability of just 17.9 percent ahead of kick-off, but the small club from the Saarland were not discouraged by their underdog label.
They may have had seven Bundesliga debutants in their starting XI, and only a combined 25 top-flight appearances between the other four members of their line-up, but the Black and Whites remained quietly confident. After all, Elversberg had never lost on the opening matchday of a season at professional level, recording two wins and three draws in the Bundesliga 2 and 3. That confidence was evident almost immediately as Elversberg raced into a two-goal lead inside nine minutes, with Lukas Petkov and Cole Campbell both finishing clinically.
The goals also saw them become the quickest Bundesliga debutants to score their first two goals, breaking the previous record of 17 minutes set by VfB Leipzig in 1993.
