Gomez off the bench in the 78th minute as Braunschweig chase, but can't find, a late winner in a 2-2 draw with Dusseldorf. Keeps the great unbeaten streak alive, at seven. Still work to do to stay ahead of Preussen Munster in 16th. Gomez apparently very active after he came on, with a couple of shots and a lot of numbers on the stat sheet for short minutes.
Gomez starting the second leg as well against Saarbrucken, carrying in a 2-0 lead from the road leg. ESPN+ carrying the match.
Gomez played 76 minutes of the second leg, and was quite good in this context- drew six fouls including a yellow, 10/15 on duels, and late in the first half really dictated play. Briefly dominant. Came off after a VAR-aided handball let Saarbrucken make it 1-0 / 1-2. Then they blew the lead conceding again in the 83rd. Deeply stressful. 2-0 / 2-2 late in regulation.
Aided by a red card to Saarbrucken, Braunschweig score twice in extra time for a 2-2 / 4-2 victory, and they stay up. Gomez still under contract and somewhat likely to stay put.
