Drops for Wormatia: Manganiello injured after 10 minutes!

A remarkable afternoon in Saarland was overshadowed for the Oberliga team of Wormatia Worms by an unfortunate injury and a mixed performance. The 20-year-old Luca Manganiello, recently appointed to the starting line-up after strong joker missions, injured his right knee in the 10th minute and had to be replaced by Irfan Catovic. Interim coach John Antuna was unable to report any positive news about the health of his player after the game: "This does not look like a minor injury, unfortunately. Now we have to wait and see what the doctors say," says Antuna.

The game against SV Auersmacher, which ended 2-2, showed up and down in the performance of the Wormser. Antuna reported on a weak first half in which his team only had a single chance of scoring by Jan Dahlke, while Auersmacher clearly dominated the game and took the lead in the 36th minute through Fabian Lauer. The Wormatia was susceptible on the defensive, which Antuna caused to complain about: "We lost important duels in the first half." Some individual mistakes also contributed to the defeat.

strong second half and unnecessary outnumbered

After the break, however, the team found better into the game. In the 46th minute, Mert Özkaya achieved the quick equalization with a free kick, which provided new hope. The Wormats, now with more swing, took the lead in the 67th minute with a goal from Dahlke. Despite this positive turn, there was a setback again when Benjamin Franz received the red card in the 68th minute, which put the team in a difficult situation. "I am sure that we would have won with eleven men today," said Antuna after the game. The equalization by Marius Schley followed quickly, and the Wormatia had to be satisfied with the draw.

Despite the disappointment about the loss of two points and the violation of manganiello, the team showed a combative performance that, despite the outnumbered, performed admiration. Players like Jamal Chinedu Willrich and Ivan Smiljanic have had chances for victory in the last few minutes. So it remains to be seen whether the team will learn from these experiences.
