Two missed penalty kicks, a two-minute late goal recognition, plus the dispute between Wolfsburg coach Oliver Glasner and managing director Jörg Schmadtke – it was all possible in VfL’s triumphant Bundesliga win against Hoffenheim from 1899.
We will talk about this game for more time. VfL Wolfsburg remain undefeated in the Bundesliga following Sunday’s 2-1 (2-0) win over TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday (8 November 2020). Renato Steffen (minute 5) gave the lead to the “Wolves”, Wout Weghorst (26th) made it 2-0. Substitute Sargis Adamyan (87th) was shortened again in a dramatic final phase. Weghorst (84.) also missed a penalty, Munas Dabbur (90. + 4) from Hoffenheim missed a hand penalty.
Rudy: “We weren’t on the field for 20, 25 minutes”
Thus, three days after the intoxicating 5-0 victory in the Europa League against Slovan Liberec, Hoffenheim again landed hard on the Bundesliga reality show. Now there are four losses from the last five games. Hoffenheim’s Sebastian Rudy said into the ARD microphone: “The loss feels even worse because in the end we had a chance to draw at least one draw. We had another phase today where we were not on the field for 20, 25 minutes. “. they went and they didn’t perform as well as we can. “
At the VfL, coach Oliver Glasner’s criticism of the club’s transfer policy and the resulting feud with sporting director Jörg Schmadtke caused unpleasant background noise. After the final whistle, Glasner was conciliatory: “Now we will take advantage of the international break to sit down and talk again.” He “clearly” assumes that he will continue to coach VfL.
Goal decision only after two minutes
Apparently his team didn’t bother the theater at first. Steffen gave VfL an early lead, but at first no pro in the green jersey applauded. Referee Sven Jablonski had decided offside, the video assistant corrected the decision to everyone’s surprise two minutes late. Steffen said on ARD radio: “That’s funny. First you’re happy, then again, no, and in the end it’s still a goal.”
After the initial lead, striker Weghorst had a chance to add more in the ninth minute, but missed. Halfway through the first half he scored his sixth goal in the fifth league game against Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim offensively too harmless
Anyone who thought this was already a preliminary decision against the severely weakened Kraichgauer was wrong. By the end of the first half, Wolfsburg was making more and more glaring defensive weaknesses. But without top scorer Andrej Kramaric, Hoffenheim couldn’t use them. Just before half-time, Ishak Belfodil missed a great opportunity to score the next goal (40th).
Dramatic final phase
Even at the start of the second round, Wolfsburg looked strangely insecure, despite a two-goal lead. The guests created their chances, but they weren’t convincing enough in front of goal. Weghorst’s missed penalty marked the beginning of the dramatic final phase. When Adamyan made the connection three minutes later, the game threatened to overturn. Hoffenheim threw everything forward and seemed to reward himself in the fourth minute of injury time. But Dabbur missed his penalty after Maximilian Arnold’s hand to VfL goalkeeper Koen Casteels.
Wolfsburg will now play after the international break on Saturday (November 21, 2020) at 3:30 pm for Schalke 04. Hoffenheim will also host VfB Stuttgart at home.
