Daniel Caliguri has spent weeks on the bench, and now he’s back in impressive fashion. His goal in Bielefeld reconfirmed the Augsburg team’s belief in a happy end to the relegation battle.
From reserve to match winner – thanks to Daniel Caliguri he had Augsburg On the way back from the first leg finally made me feel happy again.
The full-back, who had been off the bench for several weeks, scored in the 50th minute to make it 1-0 (0-0) at Arminia Bielefeld to take his side’s second win of the season abroad and thus rise again. Everyone who participated hopes to stay in the class. Coach Marcus Wenzierl He was full of praise: “Daniel didn’t play a few games, but he reacted great, settled down and waited for his chance. He was rewarded with a goal.”
After five matches without a minute of play, Caligori – aided by a three-man defense – was back in the starting line-up in a superb 1-1 draw against second-placed Dortmund a week ago. But eventually after his goal in the main game at Armenia Bielefeld, the 34-year-old veteran was supposed to go up dramatically in favor of Weinzerl once again. Although the former Schalke player retracted his demands for a regular spot, he remembered his qualities between the lines: “I have years of experience on the right track.”
Salary after the break
The fact that the team’s only shot on goal in the second half was a victory rewarded the marked improvement in performance after the break. With the win at the table from the eastern neighbors, who are now one point worse, the bottom line is over Augsburg I heard them as survivors.
Relegation place 16 is still dangerously close, but according to Rafal Jekevich, the recent upside is giving courage to the ultimate enemy, “The pressure is there. But we have experience in such situations. 26 points, now a home game against Mainz, referring to the last two seasons,” the goalkeeper said, referring to the last two seasons. In which the team finished fifteenth and thirteenth places.
However, Augsburg will have to dispense with Felix Odoji in the Mainz duel – and perhaps even longer. After an ongoing duel, the defender twisted his ankle and limped (33′). Wenzierl commented: “It looks like a ligament injury. The ankle immediately became thickened. Let’s see how much it broke.”
