Jakov Dedić scores in consecutive matches for Hoffenheim U23

Croatian striker Jakov Dedić has scored in his second consecutive match for Hoffenheim's U23 team in Germany. In a recent away game against Fortuna Düsseldorf, Dedić scored in the 52nd minute to secure a 2-0 victory for his side.

This follows his performance in the opening round, where he scored against Hansa Rostock in a 3-2 loss. Dedić, a 16-year-old standing 1.90 meters tall, joined Hoffenheim from the Croatian club Osijek in July for a transfer fee of approximately 850,000 euros.

The young forward previously gained recognition as the top scorer at the European U17 Championship, where he scored eight goals across the tournament and qualifiers, including three in a victory against Spain.
