The 2018-19 Bundesliga season has begun, and John Brooks has already hit the back of the net for Wolfburg. The 25-year-old defender scored his first goal in a Wolfburg uniform today to open up scoring in a 2-1 victory over Schalke 04.

In the 33rd minute, Wolfburg had a corner, and John Brooks lined up in the box. As the cross came into the box, everyone ran towards the middle of the net, while Brooks quickly recognized that the ball was going towards the far post. So, he split off towards the far post, leaving himself with a free header that he hammered down and into the net past the Schalke keeper.
