Scores
SC Freiburg 0 – Werder Bremen 1
The griffins might well wonder if video referees are a little rusty too. One week after having a late dinner called off for being a couple of goosebumps offsides, Freiburg lost a late equalizer against Bremen.
Center back Manuel Gulde has reason to be particularly sore. Having both scampered back from being out of position to miss a block on Leonardo Bittencourt’s goal, he settled down for the rest of the match. He even struck a late rebound back in to tie the game. But he didn’t factor in a Nils Peterson shin bone that poked past the last defender and rendered his goal moot.
While it’s nice that Werder Bremen climbed up the ladder and got closer to safety, we’d have preferred if they did it against someone else.
News & Notes
Vozdo-BACK
The red dragons of FK Vozdovac had a practice run out on Saturday against second division FK Kolubara. With both teams based in Belgrade there was less risk of traveling transmitters, and much bettter likelihood of a goodnight sleep for all involved.
I try not to recap training matches, but one special note: the 2-0 victory was Vozdovac’s first in 2020. (We only count competitive games in our standings but still: YAY DRAGONS!!)
Man of the Matches
There are plenty of people to thank for the chance to watch soccer. But I sometimes have to remember that part of why we and so many others were able to escape relatively lightly is because of Li Wenliang, who first alerted authorities to the disease in December of Last year. He was by all accounts a fried chicken and k-pop loving father of two. Thank you again Dr. Li for speaking up for the rest of us.
