Morales starts and is playing as a Defensive CM. Not much has happened thus far. Very early into the match.
Daaaamn! Schäffler should have just put Ingolstadt up 1-0, but unfortunately hits the ball slightly off to the right...difficult ball to touch in, but you're right in front of goal with no one in front.
14' Ingolstadt screwed over by linesman. RM was in on goal 1v1, but linesman calls him offside. Player kept onside by RB imho. Morales hasn't been doing much...which is good because the guys in front of him are snuffing out everything thus far.
Jesus. Morales tries to play a horrible ball back to the GK from friggin' midfield. Aue striker sees this idiocy and attacks. Trailing CB had no chance. 0-1 Aue. Horrible mistake from Morales.
Morales made a back pass into his box without looking, and it ended up being a perfect pass for an Aue player, who scored for 1-0.
Morales gets his first assist...for the other team. Back pass that the striker jumped on. It wasn't a bad pass, but he should have looked up and seen that the striker was pushing forward.
The commentator explained that Morales is 23, came from Hertha and he was sure to point out that he is an American.
Well, tbf, he also said that Morales will need time to acclimatize and the rest of the team should support him.
you're right. He wasn't criticizing. I just thought it was funny that he dropped that piece of info right after the mistake. And maybe I was being sensitive.
Wooooo! Aue just went down to 10 men. Guy somehow received two yellows in one half. His first game with Aue too looool. 0-1 Aue 44' minute.
HT. Morales didn't have any mistakes...other than that horrible pass. I don't know if he wasn't looking, or just didn't hit it hard enough. Either way, it stays 0-1 thus far. Aue is down to 10 men, so Ingolstadt should open up a bit more moving forward.
Morales has some silky passing. Plays a great ball into the box, but Schäffler doesn't know what to do with it.
Unbelievable that Ingolstadt has been struggling so much offensively. They've been up a man since the beginning of the second half. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come! Oh, 79'
