TUTTGART - New signing Marco Rojas, who has been dubbed the "Kiwi Messi" and voted the Australian A-League's player of the year, has scored on his debut for Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart in a pre-season friendly. The 21-year-old New Zealander left Melbourne Victory on a free transfer in April and has signed a contract with Stuttgart until 2017, having scored 15 goals in the A-League last season. Having been named in the starting line-up on Wednesday, Rojas put the German Cup finalists 4-0 up just before the half-time break on his first appearance against an invitation team as Stuttgart ran out 5-0 winners. "That was a nice run out, our finishing was missing and we didn't score enough goals, but all in all it was a nice friendly game," said coach Bruno Labbadia. –AFP
