The VfL Osnabrück also defied all odds in Mannheim In the end it was a wild 3:3. In focus:Goalkeeper Philipp Kühn
Coach Daniel Scherning was “satisfied with the performance “, as he explained to “MagentaSport” after the match at SV Waldhof. After all, despite the absences of Ulrich Taffertshofer and Marc Heider, his team had twice come back from a deficit in the top match in Mannheim, although eight minutes before the end Waldhof captain Marcel Seegert scored an own goal to make it 3-3 for VfL. For the Purple and Whites, “it was possible to take more here,” Scherning underlined, but added: “But that goes for both teams.”
One had a triple scorer in Dominik Martinovic. The other, the VfL, a goalkeeper who twice acted unfortunate and thus caused two penalties for the hosts. Kühn, however, did not want to hang the scenes too high. “You can clearly defend the goals better,” said the Osnabrück goalkeeper, but “I can’t break down, maybe I have to hold onto the first ball. But the striker does that cleverly too. “
Similarly, Kühn assessed the second penalty kick, also there “I can’t disappear into thin air “ Substitute Gillian Timothy Jurcher was free through with a quarter of an hour remaining and was rudely stopped by Kühn. “If I stay in behind, everyone asks why doesn’t the goalkeeper get out of there,” Kühn commented on the scene. “That’s the fate of a goalkeeper. It went like shit, it looks like shit – we analyse that. To blame only the goalkeeper would be too cheap for me.” Especially as Kühn also saved his team from conceding goals in one or two scenes during the game.
