Substitution, header, goal …
Ironically, André Silva (25) was the can opener for RB Leipzig in the 3-0 win against Bochum.
In the 69th minute, the Portuguese came in for Yussuf Poulsen. Only 42 seconds later he headed a corner of the freshly brought Szoboszlai into the goal with his first action. His second goal of the season.
The 42-second Silva! And finally a march plan works.
Because coach Jesse Marsch (47) had put the 23 million striker for the third time in a row (Berlin, Bruges, Bochum) on the bench. Marsch: “We talked for a long time before the game. I told him that Yussuf Poulsen should work on the two central defenders first. Then he comes in rested and should score. “
The plan worked. Silva: “I’m glad that I was able to help the team and that my hard work was worth it.” Victory in the key game against Bochum! But it was still not a gala.
On the one hand, because the Cologne video cellar refused a clear penalty (foul by Bockhorn on Poulsen / 4th). Referee Robert Hartmann had already committed to a penalty, corrected his decision after the video view. Completely unnecessary as there was a clear contact!
On the other hand, because after the strong initial phase with huge chances (including Forsberg to the crossbar / 11th), the march eleven playfully degrade against solidly pressing Bochumers.
Adams and Angeliño stood around uselessly on the grand piano, Gvardiol produced bad passes and Kampl turned in circles because he could hardly find a pass station.
Then, luckily, Marsch switched to Silva …
