WATCH: Socceroos star Ajdin Hrustic scores two stunning goals in the Bundesliga image

Socceroos star Ajdin Hrustic has scored two stunning goals for his Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in a 3-2 win over Stuttgart on Sunday (AEDT).

The Australian was subbed into the game at the start of the second half at 1-1 and it was only a matter of seconds before he put Frankfurt lead.

From a corner, Hrustic arrived on the edge of the penalty area to meet the delivery and rifle a bouncing volley into the bottom corner.

After Stuttgart again levelled the game on 70 minutes, Hrustic stepped up to once again give his team the advantage - but this time it was matchwinning.

Receiving the ball just outside the box with a short pass, the 25-year-old curled a wonderful low shot that bounced off the goal post and into the net.

The victory sees Frankfurt into ninth position on the Bundesliga table, but they are only three points away from the fourth-place Champions League spot with 17 games to play.

Hrustic has become a star for club and country over the last 12 months after he secured a transfer from Dutch Eredvisie side Groningen to Frankfurt in Germany's top position.

He has also impressed during his 13 Socceroos caps, scoring two goals but didn't play much of a part in the recent World Cup qualfiers as he was suspended for the Vietnam match and was only used off the bench against Oman.
