Yeah, I was wondering what WTAF meant. And now its 3-3 at 89'. Woltemade, assist from Leweling. The tall man is so good with his feet!!
I can't believe Demirovic missed that sitter at the death. That was the game. But here we are. We're off to a rough start this campaign. We need to bag this one and get back on track.
Now that was poetic. Nübel makes the big save in penalties and Assignon scores the winner. Those were the two guys responsible for us surrendering three of the four goals we conceded. Redemption. But no shame in Braunschweig tonight. They were remarkable.
Wow, glad I didn't stick around for the end. I had to get to the Farmers Market before it closed. So it went to PKs and VfB won 8-7. Classic match for the Pokal.
DFB Pokal, Round 2 FC Mainz - VfB today at 12:00 CDT (13:00 for you East Coasters) Too many matches! I still haven't watched the replay of the Sunday VfB-Mainz match, and now a rematch in the cup.
Good so far. Apparently only Undav started on Sunday also; nice having two completely different lineups for giving rest.
Definitely a massive bonus to be able to rotate at will. It's a big improvement from having half the squad laid up and Hoeneß scrambling to come up with a decent Starting XI.
Mainz 05 0:2 VfB Stuttgart in full time. G: Jaquez 6', Karazor 73'. Nice, emphatic win. I missed the first half but from what I saw in the second, we were much the better side and fully deserved the dub. Great to see Deniz rounding back into form, too. Excellent shift.
And that would come from playing each other twice in the space of three days. Well, are we bored of FC Mainz yet? Goals from Jaquez (El Khannouss corner) and Karazor (Undav) put VfB into the 3rd round.

Bochum 0:1 VfB at halftime. Absolute nightmare for the home side. We went ahead at 12' on an OG courtesy of Philipp Strompf, who finished his half by earning a DOGSO red while cleaning out a Deniz Undav who he had no idea was right there. I don't know if it's possible to drown yourself in a shower, but he might try.
