Eintracht Braunschweig continues its upward trend in the 2nd Bundesliga. There was a 2-1 home win against Karlsruher SC.
Newcomer Eintracht Braunschweig continued its upward trend at the start of the 9th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga. With a 2-1 (1-0) win against Karlsruher SC, Lower Saxony left the relegation zone for the first time this season – at least for the time being.
Ujah: “Faith is there”
Anthony Ujah (44th minute/72nd) was the decisive player with a brace, Marvin Wanitzek scored the equalizer (54th). Braunschweig took a strong seven points from the last three games. Karlsruhe, on the other hand, missed the connection to the promotion ranks.
“It doesn’t get any better than that,” said double goalscorer Ujah after the final whistle. “The team showed today that they wanted to keep the three points here. The faith is there!”
Hosts Braunschweig, who started the season with four defeats, got off to a better start. Ujah was initially denied by Marius Gersbeck, who made a brilliant save (8′), but shortly before half-time the KSC goalkeeper looked less happy: Ujah used his positional mistake and headed in a free-kick from Immanuel Pherai to take the lead. The KSC came out better from the dressing room, Wanitzek scored before the combination Pherai gave Ujah the winning goal again.
