Welcome to match day 27 the 2nd since the bundesliga restarts. Lets be honest it still feels a bit odd you can get used to the mosques or the socially distant celebrations and maybe even the applause until not one. But not the hour to silence and lack of fans many of whom fear they might lose the football they love that they may be deemed unnecessary and one day simply are placed possibly by cardboard cut outs like these the bundesliga has become football at its simplest 11 against 11 no more. Which means theres still plenty to play for as we enter the homestretch namely the title by in munich a 4 point cushion over the rest of the pack the rollercoaster match against frankfurt prince theyre not invincible. And who might be able to stop buying from scooping up their 8th straight championship doping. The prime candidates flexing their muscles against most books after smashing shaka the week before. Cut back on labor whos not also battling at the top of the heap with the white house staking a claim to the Champions League if there even is one but well start with the fervent darby data this is the new york of course without the fans now on kickoff. 75000. 00 fans were expected at the Olympia Shadi on for the butlins davi a sellout crowd but because of the corona pandemic an empty stadium awaited force to find an alternative fans from both sides headed to the pump. Its better than no football surely it is no football is worse was. Back in november while scenes accompanied the 1st ever been to sleep at darby in reunified but when it looked like attempts to instigate a rifle range where historically the clubs had friendly times opposing fans watched the darby to get the in this power when he only won the 1st meeting early in the season but this time to have a fountain celebrated Marvin Patton hans impeccable cross was headed time by the dad at the civic chin the 51st minutes in peace if it has a freshly so my fun day new coach bruno. The coach gave me a new chance a new home i decided to make the most of it and enjoy myself. Also. For going to sleep this was just love a day is 2nd game in charge cant take it like a completely different beast thanks in part to his motivation from the sidelines. This kind of this is a time when the players need my support before me and well it sounds simple enough but putting faith in his sport has paid all. Qantas told possession right after the restart and took advantage of some shocking money on defending at the civic center de luca baccy away on goal with a pinpoint true pole and the 20000000 euros signing make no mistake she nailed. The bosnian veteran is clearly revelling under the tutelage if not the dia who coached him before at stuttgart. Was a top player ive always said that especially after my time in chicago hes one of the best strikers ive ever coached because hes better than many think. Levity and hats could be a Perfect Match almost every player has improved under his short range. The 2 goal lead is well received back in the pop im out on the table shows the world that wants to fight it but if not its football fans who are tissues this is an ancient story theres an old friendship between hatton on your own thats been going on for at least 404550 years still have to undergo an e. O. And have more than friendship in common theyre both aiming to steer clear of the relegation battle but the way he had to tackle this match european qualification could be a possibility was a task when you made it rain l. And to set up the goal in the civic chuckles. The goal scorer could now was immediately relieved of his duties the brazilian headed straight for the hospital where his wife was about to give us what time. This was half has a feeling and a day to be out ahead made it for wouldnt buy investments that we own did nothing for had. Nothing. Grabs his 2nd assist with the brilliant delivery hes another player who looks reinvigorated the loveseat. But hes like dont do this often but today id give us a grade and i think it was an eye plus the top marks from the s. S. Coach one else has had a fan celebrated there was no animosity from the supporters. Inheritor fan secure together no matter how the game it wont get aggressive or anything about how it will be without corona. But this. Has to do with a win sounding for neil when the dumping of the new fans in the stadium to see it in person theyve now school would 7 go into matches. After and for many fans a dumby of unity that might change when the stadiums fill up again. The. Club background looked a bit livelier than her tears thanks 212000 cardboard cutouts of fans at least there was some visual atmosphere. The display was organized by a Fan Initiative so some supporters have voiced concerns about football going on without them but could the static smiles really help mark or roses team find results against a visiting violated. Her bosss side have been unstoppable lately amassing 8 wins in their previous 10 league outings just 2 points and 2 places shy of club back in 3rd bosss boys have the Champions League in their sights and go straight to work. When the hosts lost the ball 7 minutes in care and damage 5 pounds and later kusa. Burst into action like guns blazing towards goal before you know it hovers was celebrating. The 20 year old star is on top form with his 7th goal of the year. While harvard is getting most of the attention his her supporting cast have stepped up this was bella robbie 2nd assistant since the bundesliga restart and 6 in the 2nd half of the season. And laver couzens typically leaky defense have shaped up on the course theyre now 3rd best in the league. They limit chances and switch the ball into attack at lightning speed young pacey forwards like harvard and must be can almost always blaze past the defenders. And we were not afraid to press them high. Play want to get one in our defense and when we have the ball we play good position going we try to build up from behind and you need some courage to do with especially in away games. A source site for those cardboard eyes. The leverkusen are clearly better at creating chances than finishing them. But were lucky to head into the half time break just a goal down. After the interval marcus to around his neat finish pulled the hosts level. Giving up goals is a rarity for leverkusen they havent given out more than a single goal in the last 9 matches in all competitions and a few minutes later robbie had another streaking run this time drawing a penalty for the visitors. After it stepped up completing his 2nd brace in 2 straight games to one. In the 75th minute d. I. V. Broke out an impressive solo slalom of his own that damaged by sky the wide open rebound the leverkusen support looked unimpressed. By would make up for it with this assist. Bender who usually looks things down at the back show for the 1st time this season that he can also contribute up front. But as of course im happy about the call it came at just the right time and it does feel good to score 12. Undefeated since the 1st of february leverkusen are enjoying the best 2nd half of the season in club history sure havent says leading the way but the team around him is making it happen and thats without the support of their fans in this stadium. You can play dominant and if you can control the game i believe youre always in control shall we. What we have to do is just focus on the game and of course wed like to play with fans but its a situation like that we cannot change it so therefore focus on the game and thats what we do. Surely the camera man would love some fans to focus on but for now the cardboard cut outs will have to do. Half. The. Struggling hoffenheim witnessing their last outing to sing that clash with last place kind of born as just what the doctor ruled it. And thats how it seemed in the fullest minutes when robot school was quickest on the draw. The way palmer cut a shot back sliced through the home teams defense made you think oppenheimer going to school road well. But just 5 minutes later another one pounced when the visitors back in line committed and even worse alarmed denis rabbani the beneficiary this time. Am in the country it didnt notice or have any until it was too late and the school was one whole. Oliver batmans reaction said itll find out for troy has hoffenheim to settle for a droll. Struggling braman with pinning their hopes on leonardo betancourts who has scored more goals against freiburg than any other club. And those hopes were not misplaced a long ball from davey class and set up in court to hammer home and put brave men in front. But could they stay there that i have led in 13 games this season but one of only 4 of those. Philip but they did seeing red just before full time must have had a lot of bells ringing in brain. After the ensuing free kick and some pinball in the box mother was going to flick the ball into the net to make it one whole but the celebrations were short lived but fred i was off the hook video replay showed that neils pages and was offside before his shots against the woodwork the rebounded to good. Brain and seemed genuinely stunned that they had managed to hang on to a lead and secured only their 5th win of the campaign 3 huge points in the battle to beat the drop. In time for another darby without fans this time in the rhineland color and were hoping to pant that 10 point cushion over 16th place to savor for the relegation scrap. But it was the visitors who drew 1st blood to treat mankind among the Turkey International finding the bulls signed the full she 1st minute. The 2nd tough dustup in the box that brought down mahmoud gave kelo a chance but he failed to convert for 12 pieces then eric told me back to the 2nd goal just a little funny if not for to know were going to have local bragging rights this week. But in the final minutes Anthony Modeste had to time to pull cologne to within one girl and then incredibly concord about froze up in the school was that leads to and thats how the darby ended it one week after blowing a 2 nil lead against minds collection had somehow managed to flip the script. Piko hellish was hoping to end our spoke 4 game losing streak in his club debut against shocker hellish missed his teams last of all spur of the previous week to breaking quarantine rules to go by some toiletry. Eduardo live and took the 1st step in that direction when he killed a fantastic free kick into the net in just the 6 minute. Numbers arent bars they took the next step midway through the 2nd half. I was spurred punishing shocker for being careless with the ball. And in injury time like substitute said here court about took advantage of yet another mistake from the shocking defense 3 nil the final score. A successful debut for hike a hellish and much needed victory for housework meanwhile again firing blanks having got 9 games without a win and only scored 4 goals since the winter break. Minds will always be mine straits the band there in the stadium but is that a good thing for embattled coach of him by a lot and his struggling squad like 6 big minds 8 nearly in their 1st meeting this season with team will found the netting and trick but the police are the only ones who live their past 8 League Matches meaning theyve stick to the title race. Not to worry with that the wrong hands he made it one nil in the end of minutes. Use of goals and doubled to like 6 leads in the 23rd minutes marking the danish strikers 250. 00 at the parents of the. Citys spread the wealth with marcel sabates and netting that 3rd of the 1st tom on the ground was on. To the restarts then it can lead to his magic doornail in the 48 minutes no match for like 6 firepower and then it wasnt done yet it was like it kept toying with the wounded mouse trick to round out the final final score and lights a shot shot themselves right back into the title race speaking of which. Dormans title credentials are about to be tested they face League Leaders by in munich on tuesday so victory in saturdays clash with dulce book was essential not exactly a straightforward task. For yourselves are in very good shape and are also aiming to qualify for europe before we talk about byron munich we have to deal with. One thing is certain dortmund announced playmaker mario will leave the club at seasons end. For the match. I spoke very clearly with them this isnt the ideal system point of view and you just have to be honest with your hands are going to. The fact is younger players like union brands are a better fit for dylans attack minded system both spoke prepared for this and defended. The walls were cautious for good reason. The last time theyd beaten dortmund was 5 years ago. The black and yellows would have to fight hard if they were to grab a result. Its a good thing for team to have in mind nothings for free here and we always need to to to put out 100 percent to win in the bundesliga because it is it is very competitive no Bundesliga Team is as ruthless in attack as dortmund they scored a league high 66 goals this season and Rafael Guerrero added to that tally in the 32nd minute to break the deadlock. Have another youthful attacker flourishing this season its his 3rd goal in 2 games. Brandt instigated the attack with a deft turn and flick. Hes thriving in his role as dormans go to playmaker. And even as brant tired in the latter stages Jaden Sanchez was a more than capable replacement. The englishman returned from injury troubles and was immediately knocked off his feet. This has been an issue for many due to the coronavirus break this time to fix a wrist youre not training normally and suddenly youre training very intensely ahead of a title clash. On those 10 years. Dortmund sat back in the 2nd half and conserve their energy and why not when you can depend on the likes of ellen holland. Traffic kimi and sunshine to break on the counterattack. Sanchez said kimi and american see the 2 nil victory. It was certain shows 17th assist this campaign. Dog and 17th goal on the counter when backs like guerrero and turkey be getting on the board demonstrate everyone on the dolphin team she is a threat to. The black and yellow is of no one not in of their last 10 matches. Bring it on by and. The town did by and get on theyre the only unbeaten going this league team in 2024 points ahead of the pack they could afford to crack a smile here or there. With his contract extended to 2023 chance the flick that stands to smile still clicks gotten by and this far by taking all of his opponents seriously including frankfurt. Flick to challenge it by an after frankfurt beat the defending champs to find one back in november but since then he successfully remodeled munich by and showcase their dominance from the opening minutes. Flick has entrusted players like Thomas Miller with increased playing time and millers rounded into the best form of his career he set up fellow former fringe player laon gorecki to take the lead in the 60 minutes. Flick has also given his defense a fine shooting Alfonzo Davies has excelled in his new position as a left back and to flick his ball to the middle helps miller get on the scoresheet shortly before half time to nel from approaching a typical flailing finish. With his boys not showing more than 3 goals per game on average since he took charge flick is commanding the best scoring rate of any head coach in League History directly after the break goal number 3 came like lightning by the leagues best marksman robert leaven dusty that was number 27 for the pole. A buy and. Until the blunders legal stop scoring defender martin him to agger cleaned up after a corner 31. Was and since dion didnt learn their lesson he headed in another street in the space of 3 minutes the austrian singlehandedly dragged his side back into contention wellfleet finally cracked a smile of disbelief. Whereas by in may have panicked in this situation earlier in the season there unflappable and to flick his defenders also confidence up front giving that by involves nearby to french. Davies punished gelsen fernandez for his mistake and restored the hosts to goal advantage after the hour mark. Because by an hour by end they of course didnt stop their substitute search capri was looking to get involved which it was actually into eg he scored for 3rd time just at the wrong end of the picture. It ended 52 frankfurt headed home defeated for the big match in a row while by and maintained that spot on the throne ahead of their big encounter with dortmund. Its put us in a position of strength and that is what we want to see on the pitch on tuesday. They are going to vote for that strength this year and want to make sure its still there come the end of the match and this this should be the target. Come on hansie wed say thats reason enough to show those pearly whites dont worry be happy were certainly missing the fans but at least his side treated us to us. Thrilling victory now lets see the rest of match day 20 sevens results. Big wins this week for by own dormand leyva whose inheritor and brain that empty stadiums appear to affect results as only 3 home sides of one since the bundesliga returned in mid may. But lets not forget why the stadiums are empty in the 1st place. To honor those who have died due to the pandemic as well as the essential workers who were fighting the virus every day a moment of silence was held before every match in the 1st and 2nd hand as league. Players also wore black armbands. Some critics wondered why this wasnt done on the 1st match day of the buddhas league has returned well better late than never. Now back to the sporting signed. By and have to be smiling in the top spot. Jordans are breathing down their neck in seconds. What they gathered late accuse and have climbed back up the ladder to round out the Champions League spot. Brakemans much needed win wasnt enough to lift them out of 7 seats with the bottom 4 spots onil to trim last week expect that to change soon urged you to midweek matches and it all kicks off with a cracker. So finish things off with breaking out the orchestra because choose day were going to get the best literally cast off by in munich visiting brazil dortmund. No need for looking music here granted things will look rather different than they did earlier in the season without the fans that make the classic asari special still we want to have. Q.
