Richards off the Bench in the 64th minute. Bochum up 1-0 in the 80th. Wild, wild sequence in the 70th minute. We have a GK on GK PK. Hoffenheim defender - off the ball - reacted to what he thought was a dive and pretty violently two handed shoved Bochum player. Lucky to not get a red card and received only a yellow. Rightfully so called a penalty. A little bit of mayhem while play was reviewed on VAR. Then Bochum GK steps up to take the PK, slips, and skies the shot into Row Z. Could have sealed the game but Bochum still up 1-0.
Bochum seals the 2-0 win in stoppage time. Hockey style empty netter scored by Bochum after GK is up for a corner in the 96th minute. Hockey style goal but it was more of a golfer’s long put. Shot From the half way line is slowly trickled into the net possibly dinking off the left post and in Exciting match. Had a Cup feel to it. High emotions and good play.
Richards subbed on for Dabbur in the 62’. Hoffenheim up 5-3. Tillman scored his first Bundesliga goa for Furth.
Julian is truly buried if he can’t get on for a match like this w all 5 subs not used. Unless there is a n injury or something. He got his extension as a B2 mainstay.
Richards starts vs Chandler and Frankfurt. 2-1 Hoffenheim at half. Chandler perhaps could have done better on the Hoffenheim second - beaten to a rebound by Rutter.
I thought CR looked real good in half one. Only kind of wayching as I do some work but I thought he was sharp.
82': Richards with a crucial slight deflection of a cross - own goal opportunity that he got just enough on to throw off the attacker behind him. Chandler subbed off for an extra striker right after as Frankfurt look for an equalizer down 3-2.
CR with a slight touch in front of the goal to steer it away from the onrushing attacker Chandler off
Full time, Hoffenheim hold up 3-2. Richards one of the better players out there on the night; Chandler had his chances and didn't come that close.
I left the stream running for a bit after the final whistle with scenes from the stadium. Right before they ended the feed they showed a kid holding up a Richards jersey waiting to get it signed. Very cool.
Very good corner kick to Richards near post at the six yard box, solid header, may have created space by pushing off, but no call!
