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.

Having spent two years at both Wellington Phoenix, then Victory, scoring 17 goals in 72 A-League appearances, Rojas made his debut for New Zealand in March 2011, going on to play 15 times for the All Whites.
