borg. and what about the basement clash between shell and cologne the last match day of the 1st half of the season now on kick off. a fight for the campaign these 2 teams were still not sure whether this is been a good or bad season so fall it started the game fall behind by and with the champions looking shaky there was still reason to have still meant was still smiling despite a disappointing draw with minds at the weekend they have won 10 points from 15 since age into. a strong showing here was crucial for the interim coach. meanwhile was 12 matches but it seems to last claiming just one point from 4 games this clash was a genuine 6 point level on points that kick off the winners would still be in the

title race the losers stressing on their place in this helpful. domain started like a team determined to end the 1st half of the season on a high and in holland pressured. into an era that almost gifted don't mind and i'm not. averse to the case and. then the visitors forced a chance for marco royce but the out of form captain failed to connect properly. things. looking good for dormancy but then it all went wrong a long ball from roman burkey came straight back towards his goal and most said he had been the best route to break the deadlock the. defensive weaknesses played still all season and they were exposed again by pace and direct play. debbie was an inspired form for the hosts dorman simply couldn't cope with him on

might he burns thomas delaney and matt somers down the right flank before almost forcing a mistake from bookie. and then he sets up a great chance for lucas to laryea. but it remained one nil getting into the break. the d.m.v. show continued after half time the way no one possession here and left several don't win players for dead on the challenge. the run deserved a goal but liam brady failed to match his teammates quality with the finish. leverkusen failure to capitalize on brilliance was punished when you leant plant in the equal eyes. after a dismal 1st half of the season blanche will be hoping his 1st goal of the campaign and 1st ever goal against his former club can help him find some form.

suddenly dormant were in the ascendancy. branch had a shot cleared off the line soon after. then jayden sanchez should have done better with this child's. and dortmund regretted those misses even more when d.m.p. and patrick should combined on the counter before the frenchman set up florian visits for the with. a slick move capped by actually who finished from laver couzens one of the kids this is still. just 17 years old. in response to what brought on 16 year olds use of public ok. stephan tickets that came on for only his 3rd when displayed where parents replacing voice. perhaps unsurprisingly inexperienced attack fails to find an equalizer. is not necessarily

a hindrance to success as much when evidence proved but lack of experience has been a problem so far this season and on the touchline we have the chance to change change and turn things around we are still in all 3 competitions we have still not a lot of games so we can we can even make this difficult season a good season. accuse them of their own difficult bodies behind them and they can get back to their stable and early season full. round play perfectly but i think we have to be happy with the 1st 17 games and i hope the start of the rich area is going to be good as well instead of. the $21.00 win means they've accusing can be optimistic but now looking over their shoulders going into the 2nd half of this most chaotic of seasons. by a labor couzens was simply unstoppable on t.v.

as on match day here i've just check out that lingo. but it's not for job the race is clear the 1st time i think of some shoes but i think if you start such strong family just a few minutes open to the season and it was all about the fish a little play with her face employees of lucidity ah but it was never molded like the clues it deserves. the french found. a piece of. the pie missing a ship she should keep i think so coming up now. 7 i. spoke to. he's been standing. by to see.

the 17 year olds. on match day. now what about overachievers down it's. been the surprise packages of the 1st half of the season one points against 3 of the top 4 teams including almost beating champions byron. and getting the better of. most recently defeated labor but all those good results had come at home. now and travelled to leipzig the other team looking to show they could do it on the road to have. failed to win their last 2 games. contrast 6 game unbeaten. would

be in for another special. in the 1st half it certainly looked that way the visitors were able to constantly they wouldn't let them settle. when the hosts did get in the box only on defense was there. not goes on frustrated. but just before the break leipzig finally found some space only for christopher and cancun to blast woefully over the bar of the that was the chance but instead of going in the net the ball flew into rosie. not because man was so annoyed he left his players to stew in the dressing room alone at halftime there's no way leipzig can catch byron playing like this.

the 2nd half saw more of the same initially. although any cancun came a bit closer this time the forwards managed to force soon young keeper andreas looked into it decent say. leipzig were at least trying to make a breakthrough and fortune favors the brave young where finally breached a mil for spare with the goal by not pretty but leipzig won't care one nil in the 70th minute. for specs how to enjoy underlined how tough a prospect dooney on berlin have now become. could the berliners hit back they had scored in every game this term. madea's birth to had

a chance but this time it wasn't to be a one real loss by doing youn are staying up teach. them for the future of i think we've given a more positive impression of ourselves we're not just a team who go around kicking people sure we're uncomfortable to play against but only on a no longer seen as just rough guys we've made a giant leap forward i think showed us really is a script a funny game a month off to treat to be clear team has been very compact everyone is ready to work for each other a lot is possible in football if you do that. the fact you don't yawn were so disappointed with the defeat tells you everything there a man high and are still dreaming of european competition. thanks. to. the best team in europe are again dominating the bundesliga byron have not been perfect but wanted to quickly. they were ahead early. penalty

coming after 13 minutes it was his 22nd goal of the campaign if the pole carries on he will break. 40 goals in a season. and were in complete command in the 1st half at the break they had amassed 12 shots although they only had the one goal to show for it. the champions have made life difficult for themselves of late and did a big. penalty for the hosts. and alfred finn bogus and could only hit the post. byron wien again and didn't concede for the 1st time in 12 league games that meant manuel neuer equalled all the khans record of 196 clean sheets. really.

high blood and frank. frank that went. back to find finish from. the front. it was the 29th. the basis of a plan does he get recalls. frank level though i'm afraid i'm going to go from kevin should not have been that she might not be so friendly when the race for you know that. he left field against a guy the battle of the promoted sides stood guard had shown so far only by year and had picked up more points away from home. but they found it tough going in

bielefeld bobby and lost giving the host the lead of captain netting after 27 minutes. it was to kneel at the start of the 2nd half and only goal from mark oliver can't i'm lucky or just plain silly. and laid on rich pseudo on at the 3rd goal the best when of the season for bielefeld we now have a 10 point cushion on the automatic relegation places a good 1st half of the campaign. love the sights though and i was happy with their season so far has have been in and toughened mine are among them. cats have made a good start here until christian tank. top and high and then cashed in the best emerging school board in the sez he said

many. fans and you're a crime rate she added another goal in the 68 minutes. people crowning the 3 male win with his 10th goal of the season opening times bellicosity campaign suddenly on a high. the 1st of the season was to be honest was crazy from all perspective. a lot of a lot of injuries a lot of. sickness. sickness. we had a lot of complications. it remains complicated for hatta a relegation fight she leaves. when we talk about the 1st half of the season it's clear we picked up too few points partially due to our own performances and sometimes we gave points away too easily. nobody has ever seen the worst 1st half of the season in 11 years back then had to end up going down as the books empty.

talking about the bottom sides minds have been struggling badly in this season fairly my tito was a shining light scoring in every other game but now he's left for the premier league perhaps unsurprisingly minds look bowling on threatening at home to vote for the hungry wolves waited for their moment and trounced. mark tossed bialek with the 1st alexander haka unwittingly teeing up about the course for his 12th goal of the league season both sport triumph to neil in mines. just one win so far means it's the worst 1st half of a season in mind says history. it's just as bad fish alka at least they've been waged by the return of club hero classy

on one tele about the dutchman sets out the key clash with jet. shall kill the city boss and with a languishing in 16 place a real 6.0. cologne went ahead following a set piece and poor shock at defending rafa chico scoring on the half hour out. it was the only good 1st league goal in over 500 minutes bosh alcoa showing why they are the only bundesliga side this time to concede it over the seagulls. colonia not exactly the world's best defensive units with a lot of drive and a bit of luck american teenager matching hoping that equalized. time. to want to shut up his head.

to get between shelter and cologne is now 8 points that small the shock i have managed in the whole of the 1st half of the season. like broke but. i believe. we have to believe. there are. big big points. in battle. let's see how. it's been a bumpy 1st half of the season 4 o'clock they're successful champions league campaign has come in contrast disappointing bundles league of form they finished 2020 with a run of 4 games without a win but hope has been restored since the turn of the year the bulls have not just

2 wins and a draw from 3 games including a victory over byron now on a wet winter night they were looking to hit the halfway point of the season on a high for a man and felix stood in their way beyond stor notched a goal and an assist of secure a win over alex borg at the weekend giving phil the enco felt side a healthy buffer above the relegation zone. they were under pressure in the early stages though maybe headed straight a easy pub lenka from a set piece the defender should have done better he was left on. all alone in the box and that's half lenka then had a moment of madness when he rushed miles out of his box and flattered into young us last month. the check keeper only got a yellow card for his indiscretion despite getting nowhere near the ball. yun zama appeared to be in much better for the. was when romano shmeat hammered

a volley at his top corner and black box captain pulled off a magnificent say. but then zama too had a rush of blood to the head bringing down josh sargent and leaving his goal line attended. fortunately for him got back to block goggles shot. and the germany defender ensured it remained goalless going into halftime. and in the 2nd half his partner at the center of what blood back in front of them a hell of a d. was once again left unmarked at a set piece but this time he punished braman one nil and gladbach season was looking up. if they're to maintain this form in the 2nd half of the season bell need their key players to stand up and be counted somebody did just that with a fine save from john manuel limbaugh. and so did get into one

embalm race through again limits center half showing his no nonsense. but gladbach will also need luck if they're to improve in the 2nd half of the season and they've got a stroke of fortune here. was a shot almost rebounded in off of zama him it was a moment that summed up a frustrating game for co felt. but his opposite number continues to enjoy the new year. jago and so far in 2021 we have 3 wins and a draw that has to give us momentum no question. and what can gladbach do with that momentum mr match winner he says we have to take this confidence and play strong 2nd half of the season. to win leaves marco's aside just a point behind dortmund their next opponents in the bundesliga win that game and

gladbach really would turn their poor start to the season around. isn't it but a plane no it's a flying goalkeeper and usually paddling because i take pretty close on. that young some i was also asked to pay for him his team mates and his blushes. he then had a huge slice of luck later on. but class is permanent they produced the save the match day. it's spectacular when you see a path to save them that. believe it will say for. unbelievable i haven't seen before a long time to deliver. one of the best goalkeepers in the league but i think even

he doesn't know how he said i will be grinning about that one for a while but i can see good things. it's almost smiled is that the old city back in safe hands. back in labor closing were joined in securing big victories by hoffenheim and cologne what both been struggling like fire and also kept the title race spicy with their when it was a match day of winners and losers would. only one draw in 9 games. the best goal of the match day comes from don't men's union but not even if his new club still lost to his silence. her chances to get a one goal a spectacular start. to not chance gives him

a little bit of solace. voice floods in films out of the cost is known by the state. because they don't know much mom. who can't stop scoring. he's also now joined 2nd in the bundesliga scoring challenge but he was told that i was. a cry marriage. free kid the whole time but what they do with him. playing in full and 1st place in all the best goals of match day 7 c. . so here's the table at the halfway stage of the season firing lead the way 4 points ahead of leipzig and 7 ahead of labor close and it's tight after that with dortmund only in 4th.

promoted just guard intent can be happy with their 1st half of the season minds and shall stay at the bottom on just 7 points no team with so few points at halfway has ever stayed up. till half the season is over in this strangest of campaigns it's time to chase them down to your teammates. even your opponents. someone all the referee losing is ok right is just to get a bloke who did not occur. when you do feeling the furrow of winning well that's what we play football odd is it about winning yeah yeah yeah. and the 2nd half of the season starts right away. go into really need to win and.

his and against god's book should be a good clash. and maybe shall can win for a 2nd time against fiat good luck to all. of the. law. to.
