Ghana forward Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer starred for Hamburger SV in their victory over Dutch outfit FC Groningen in a friendly encounter on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old rediscovered his scoring form after netting his first goal in the Bundesliga to salvage a point for Hamburger SV at Volksparkstadion.
Konigsdorffer, who will be missing Ghana's Kirin Cup tournament in Asia, stayed in camp as Hamburger continued preparations without their international stars.
In a highly entertaining friendly, Emir Sahiti opened the scoring for the German's, rebounding home from an Imanuel Pherai's strike. Pherai then added the hosts second two minutes later.
Just before half time Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira added the third for Hamburger to complete a dominant first half in style.
David van der Werff pulled one back for the Eredivisie side three minutes after the break to set up a thrilling second half.
Sahiti added his second to restore Hamburger's three-goal lead but Van der Werff responded again to halve the deficit.
Konigsdorffer announced his presence nine minutes after coming on to make it 5-2 but his celebration was cut short after Mark Hoekstra reduced the deficit with a fine strike.
Just before the game ended, Guilherme Ramos scored to wrap up an entertaining exercise.
Konigsdorffer and his Hamburger teammates will face Augsburg after the international break.
