+++ Austrian duo successful, Hajrovic still on duty: Zlatko Junuzovic and Sebastian Prödl have helped Austria take the lead in their qualifying group for the 2016 European Championship as the Austrians beat Moldova 2-1 on Thursday and then knocked off Montenegro 1-0 on Sunday. While Prödl did not play against Montenegro, ‘Juno' was subbed out after 77 minutes. Izet Hajrovic played the final seven minutes for Bosnia & Herzegovina in the 0-0 draw in Wales and hopes to play against Belgium on Monday. The main thing is to collect points looking towards the European Championship. +++

+++ Successful debuts for Husic and Grillitsch: Raif Husic kept a clean sheet in his debut with the German U19 national team as the Werder youth keeper played to a 3-0 victory over Latvia in the 2015 European Championship qualifiers. The final match in the four-team group takes place on Tuesday against Austria. For the newly-formed U-21 Austrian team, Florian Grillitsch scored just seconds after being subbed in at the break in a 3-0 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo. WERDER.DE says: Keep going guys! +++

+++ Lightning quick: For Marnon Busch, things have gone quite quickly the past couple of months in a Werder jersey. One thing is certain - the young defender is one of the fastest players in the Bundesliga. According to bundesliga.de, the 19-year-old's top speed was measured at 34.87 kph. The only faster players are Nikola Djurdjic (FC Augsburg, 34.92 kph) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund, 35.44 kph). +++

+++ Goal line technology in Weser Stadium? This question will not be answered until the league federation DFL's member assembly in December. But the first preparations are already on-going. To determine possible variations, workers of Bremen's Weser Stadium guided the three goal-line technology applicants around the arena. The experts are currently examining all the stadiums in the Bundesliga to figure out which requirements are needed to implement the technical demands. +++
