Köhler flies out - Braunschweig in front of the derby without a key player!

Eintracht Braunschweig faced an unexpected challenge on Sunday when they had to compete against SSV Ulm in the basement duel. Contrary to the positive mood, which prevailed after the 2-0 home win against Greuther Fürth, the lions experienced a setback that was supposed to cloud their ambitions for a further victory.

Already at the beginning of the game it was clear that the hosts from Ulm were more likely to have control over the game. The Braunschweig, hardly present in the first half, had to quickly adjust to a deficit that would shape the entire course of the game. It was not just the score that brought the fans to the palm, but the further mishap that the Braunschweig could hardly cope with.

Ulm - Braunschweig: key moments of the game

The first half was not optimal for Braunschweig, and the second yellow card for Sven Köhler was the decisive turning point of the game. Köhler, an important player in a defensive midfield, received the traffic light card shortly after the half -time break due to an avoidable foul. This dismissal questioned the efforts of BTSV coach Daniel Schering, who had already changed for a catch-up. After this incident, the Braunschweigers were forced to continue the game with only ten men, which drastically reduced the chances of success.

"This is just stupid and not to believe," said a frustrated fan on the social media platform "X". This emotion reflected the dissatisfaction of the Braunschweig supporters who have an eye on the importance of the derby against Hannover 96, which is due on October 6th. Köhler will be missing in this crucial game, which is a significant weakening for the team.

Bitter dampers in front of the derby

The loss against Ulm comes to the wrong for Eintracht Braunschweig. After the first win of the season, the lions were brought back to the ground of the facts. Too often they were inferior in the direct duels and had to leave the playing field to the hosts. The Ulm were more aggressive and motivated, which ultimately resolved in the course of the game.

One of the few positive grades for Braunschweig was the performance of newcomer Sebastian Polter. He showed commitment and was even able to prepare a goal, which made him an important player on the offensive. The team hopes that he can also set the decisive accents in the upcoming derby against Hannover 96. However, the anticipation of this game could be clouded by the loss of Köhler.

The current criticism of the decisions during the game and the inability to make the right decisions at crucial moments could also influence the coaching decisions in the coming weeks. The pressure on the team is growing and fans expect a reaction to the last defeat. Further information on this development is www.news38.de Available.
