It was really a hard day for the VfR Aalen today. First attempt was L2 fight in Cup to qualify for the 3rd round. Second time against a 4 level higher defensiv wall, but now away. Leg 1 ended 0:0, so all open for now. Only the best players were in the lineup, which was only changed in 2 Positions. DML Positions was now taken from Marco Haller, Striker for kick off was settled by Cidimar.
Goal was to keep the draw until the end and be prepared for the penalty shoot out. So the plan was to let play Cidimar an get Reichwein at the end and for the penalties (SA).

I was really surprised, not 2 Minutes played, Haller passed the ball directly to Cidimar, who only had to stretch his foot a little to score for Aalen.

What a great and important goal. So the defensive tactics and counter attacks seemed to be the right strategy and there it goes. Hofmann received a yellow card for a unnecessary foul, DEADEDEZA utd Player got injured and right before end we substituted Reichwein (SA: Penalty kick specialist) in for Cidimar. The last 5 Minutes went down and we are qualified for 3rd round of the Cup. Our special thanks goes out to Accyrover for his advice, how to counter this defensive rock.

But just at the end of the match, it was time to get off home for our second match today. We expected the runner up of the league to clarify, who takes the lead. The whole team got freshened up en route, lineup was planned and right at 11pm the ball rolled again.

We won 5:0 with the following results:

Cards: Tim Kister (8',Y)
Injuries: Selim Aydemir (19')
Subs: Cidimar for Aydemir (26') (Switched from 4-4-1-1 to 4-4-2 classic), Dausch for Klauß (58'), Calamita for Reichwein (58')
Goals: Lechleiter (27', 30'), Klauß (40'), Hofmann (70'), Buballa (80')
Assists: Leandro (40'), Calamita (70'), Lechleiter (80')

After all it was a good Day. Qualified for 3rd round in Cup and got back to the lead of the league. At the and of the second match I sent the Team to bed to be ready for another hard Day tomorrow, beating both runner ups in league and CL.
