For SV Sandhausen it is a very important step out of the bottom of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga, for Bielefeld the next low blow – Arminia is staggering after a bitter 1: 2 (1: 2) home defeat on Sunday (01/29/2023). Descent.
Level on points with the bottom of the league, 1. FC Magdeburg, things continue to look disastrous for the Westphalians. It wasn’t necessarily down to the attitude against the sand houses – but it was probably down to too much carelessness on the defensive and a lack of penetrating power up front.
Kinsombi for Kinsombi
Bielefeld had actually started quite well, but Bastian Oczipka missed the first top chance in the 12th minute. This took revenge seconds later when David Kinsombi brought the ball in front of the goal with his heel after a cross from Raphael Framberger, where his brother Christian Kinsombi pushed goalkeeper Martin Fraisl’s rebound over the line.
Sandhausen followed suit in the 33rd minute: Fraisl was very unlucky in fending off a cross from Calhanoglu, and Alexander Esswein, who rushed up with his leg stretched, put the ball over the line – a controversial goal, but one that ultimately counted.
hope before the break
Even before the break, the efforts of Bielefeld were rewarded. Robin Hack had prevailed on the right wing, in the center Andrés Andrade found a taker – goalkeeper Patrick Drewes stretched in vain.
In the second round, Arminia tried everything to take at least one more point. But Sebastian Vasiliadis (51st minute) and Robin Hack (76th) missed good chances, and there was always a lack of quality and precision in the end and usually even with the last pass.
