Career & Clubs
Mall attracted media attention in November 2014 when he pulled off a spectacular double save in a game against FC Zürich. Zürich were awarded a penalty which was taken by Amine Chermiti. Mall saved the initial shot but it rebounded back to Chermiti who shot again, but Mall saved the second shot as well. Incredibly Chermiti then had a third shot at goal but this time it was acrobatically hooked off the line by defender Igor N'Ganga. Mall was under contract with FC Aarau and was used there from the 2008/09 season for the reserve team in the 5th division. At the beginning of the 2011/12 season he ousted Sascha Studer as first-team goalkeeper in the Challenge League, through the club's promotion he then played in the Super League from the 2013/14 season. He made his professional debut in the top flight on 21 March 2010 in an away game against Neuchâtel Xamax the game was lost 1:2. In June 2015, Mall moved from Super League relegated FC Aarau to record champions Grasshopper Club Zurich and signed a two-year contract. On 1 June 2017 Mall moved from Grasshopper Club Zürich to Bundesliga relegated SV Darmstadt 98. There he made his first competitive appearance in the 3–4 home defeat against 1. FC Nürnberg on 16 October 2017 (10th matchday) because first-choice goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes broke his finger in training. After Heuer Fernandes' recovery, he injured his own shoulder which left him only No. 3 by the end of the season. This eventually saw a move to Cyprus for Paphos…
