Eintracht is hoping for something countable in Munich
Just a few hours before the game, the Mannheim team broke up with their sporting director Jochen Kientz. They did not give reasons for this. It was "solely the decision of the supervisory board" and "not that of the managing director", it said in a message. The relationship between Kientz and Managing Director Markus Kompp has long been considered broken. "There was an incident," said SVW President Bernd Beetz at Sky. When asked whether Kientz 'Aus had anything to do with the recent Corona cases in the team, he said: “It has something to do with it. I don't want to go into any further details. "
The players were unimpressed by all of this. Driven by an enthusiastic backdrop, the brisk Waldhöfer caused the favorite from the capital a lot of problems and took the lead early on. Union keeper Frederik Rönnow, who this time had priority over regular goalkeeper Andreas Luthe, let the ball ricochet off from the side after a sharp cross - defender Rossipal dusted off to make it 1-0. The guests, who again had to do without star striker Max Kruse (foot problems), looked caught off guard and needed a quarter of an hour to get into the game. With their first real chance, Behrens equalized massive and centrally to 1: 1.
After there were hardly any chances on either side in the first half, the Mannheim team pushed the pace again in the second half.
The lively Adrien Lebeau (46th) and Gillian Jurcher (53rd) each shot past the goal on the left.
The guests continued to create little danger - if they did, then they did it properly: The Waldhöfer just scratched a shot by Robin Knoche from the line (75th), later Awoniyi forgave completely free (90th + 2).
In the fourth minute of extra time, the substitute Nigerian took aim more precisely.
With a low shot into the right corner, he made the decision against the bravely fighting but increasingly powerless Mannheimers.
It was already the twelfth competitive goal for Awoniyi this season - and one of the most important.
