Final match of 2023, midweek, hosting Augsburg. 18' Undav scores from a Stiller corner kick. Commentator was saying that VfB had only scored a single corner goal this season just as Undav was scoring the second. Hahaha. Anyway, 1-0 now.
45+2' Undav nicks a poor Augsburg clearance and sends Guirassy free down the middle to beat the GK, 2-0.
Damn! I forgot all about this match! I've been doing chores all day, getting ready for Christmas. Thanks for the reminder!
I only discovered yesterday that my clubs were playing midweek. I should have figured that European leagues would take off the Christmas weekend. BTW, Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

I've read that his contract allows him to leave in the Winter break. I just hope he wants to stay to see how well the team can do, and how well his value will improve over what is offered for him during the break.
I guess this is the last game (17th) of the Hinrunde, even though it's taking place in the new year. Be that as it may, VfB didn't cover itself in glory - though they are without the services of Serhou Guirassy. They'd better improve on their performances since he'll be away for approx. a month in the Africa Cup of Nations. VfB had a number of shots, but were unlucky when Denis Undav hit the post in the 32nd minute. Josha Vagnoman scored in the 56th minute, but that was all that VfB could muster. Macht lieber die Lücke, Jungs!
