VFL Bochum continues upward trend in Augsburg

The VFL Bochum continued its upward trend in the Bundesliga with an impressive performance. Through a 3: 2 (3: 0) in the ghosts of the ghost in the defensive phase of DESOLATE FC Augsburg, the clever promoter of the fifth victory in the past seven games — the second place on the opponent place.

The strong Sebastian Porter (13th, 45. + 2) and Gerrit Boltzmann (40th) secured the crew of coach Thomas rices the deserved success, which in the second half was in danger: the Michael Gregoritsch replaced before the break (57.) And Daniel Caligari (86., Faulfemeter) shortened. In a hectic closing phase, the hosts urged in vain to compensation.

We are really happy, we would not have painted ourselves so, said Eduard Lower at Sky about the intermediate balance of 19 points after 14 games. But he warned: We know that we can not let off. That can go back quickly.

Like the most recently successful FCA, which brought seven points in four games and Bayern Munich had beaten. Everything went wrong, said Niklas Dorsal over the fucking first half, that's incredible. He Pollard, That's an absolute impudence, that we always have such dropouts, I do not understand. There is nothing, if we always play a good second half, that's shit.

For Augsburg, which was after a weak start of the season last seven points from four games and defeated Bayern Munich, the defeat is a heavy setback. The team of coach Markus Easier, who was previously involved four times in his own stadium, depends on only 13 points on the relegation place. In addition, Raphael Hamburger and And Require were injured.

Bochum replacement goalkeeper Michael Lesser was a good retention in his first Bundesliga game for the VFL. Augsburg's Beckman Rafael Gikiewicz, on the other hand, had to prevent a residue early against Boltzmann (3.). With a further counterattack of the Bochum he was open for the first time: after a ball loss of Are Maier, Boltzmann passed flights on a Porter, who met unhindered from the penalty area.

VFL meets after corners

Bochum acted out of the defensive outlined and lurked on his chances. These were mostly at counteracting, the hits two and three, of course, fell to corner balls: Both times was the defense of the Augsburg's who had previously developed good opportunities, completely overwhelmed with the situation. Power, for example, could head against three opponents.

Even the Bochum defense was not a saddle-resistant, retained against the often to impetuous Augsburg er but usually rest and overview. The victory of VFL could have been even higher. Milos Antonio (70th) and Silver Angola (85th) but awarded the best chances. Before the Elder to 2: 3 Fouls Danilo Soars Augsburg's striker Florian Lechtechner.
