Ahlen has recovered a lot! After the loss to Saarbrücken and the
lucky victory in Salmrohr, finally an impressive performance against
Wuppertal. WSV coach Jerat commented that his team's performance
against his ex-colleague was a catastrophy, but that was not the only
reason that WSV was "K.O." in Ahlen.
The hosts played rock-solid soccer, and took advantage of the
Wuppertal weakness in the 1st half on the left side. In the 2nd half, it
was Wuppertal's susceptibility to the counter-attack, and Ahlen
played it's cards right. Therefore, it was justified that Karp's cross
on the right flank led to the first goal, that Deffke hammered home.
The 2:0 was a picture perfect counter-attack. Coach Sandhowe's
satisfied judgement: "The team is putting itself together slowly."
