Begins goal party himself Kubler scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus Mainz.

Impact Freiburg handily defeated Mainz, and the former's first goal came with a bit of luck for Kubler. Lasse Finn Riess stopped an on-target shot from a Freiburg corner, but he failed to swat the ball away well enough from Kubler's direction, and the full-back capitalized. Kubler will finish this season with multiple goals, as he has done four times in the Bundesliga's last five regular seasons.

Impact Kubler wouldn't last long Sunday, making it to the 38th minute before he would retire from the field due to injury.

Impact Kubler has picked up an issue just two weeks out from the start of the season, leaving his availability for their opener in question.

Impact Kubler is yet to score or assist a goal so far this season but never shirks his defensive duties having made at least two tackles in every game but one so far this season. The wingback only has three crosses through six games which shows that he is needed more for his defensive acumen rather than what he offers going forward.
