Game is on since twenty minutes. Thomas started, score is 0-1. According to kicker, Thomas is one of two forwards. Game is a must-win type to close the distance to rank 14 to 3 pts.
1-1 in the second half. Thomas with the helper: Der verdiente Ausgleich. Thomas setzt sich auf der rechten Seite durch, seinen Querpass schiebt Teixeira aus kurzer Distanz über die Linie. Wildmann und Scharpenberg kommen zu spät.
Yep, translation: The deserved equaliser. Thomas is making it over the right wing and Teixeira puts the diagonal cross over the line.
Not quite right, bottom: 11 Lübeck 27 (-2) 12 Union Berlin 25 (-13, game in hand) 13 Ahlen 22 (-12) 14 Karlsruhe 21 (-14) --------- 15 Mannheim 21 (-19) 16 Reutlingen 20 (- 5, game in hand) 17 St Pauli 18 (-17) 18 Braunschweig 18 (-20)
Thomas rated 3. Nice comment of double goal scorer Teixeira btw. He said about the 10.000 attendance: “It’s incredible that the fans still support us that much. In Brazil we would have been beaten up already some weeks ago.” (it was an early 6 pm weekday game, their average is about 16.000 I think – comparison: Bayern just had 16.000 in the national cup semifinal against Leverkusen at the friendlier time of 8.30 yesterday)
Good game by Thomas. The offence with Teixeira, Thomas and da Silva (who also played together last season, but due to injuries not that much this year) worked very well. Thomas should also play in the next game (not only that his performance was good - Choji, one of his rivals for a starting spot in the line-up, is still suspended for 3 weeks.)
