Two last minute goals lead to disgraceful loss
Paderborn can really thank WSV incompetance for the win. That, combined
with the outstanding form of goalkeeper Joswig, saved all three points for
the guests.
WSV dominated the game from the start. Raduta hammered a free kick in the
4th minute that brought a great save from Joswig, as he clawed the ball
out of the top corner. 10 minutes later Broos had a close shot, and Meinke
missed two headers that probably should have been put away. Overall, the
1st half was a ho-hum match, with Paderborn rarely venturing outside their
side.
Finally, at the start of the 2nd half, WSV broke through. Gabi Raduta
who had an impressive game, fought off the defenders for the ball, and put
in a picture perfect cross onto the head of Gerrit Meinke, who finally
beat Joswig. Only 4 minutes later, Vlatko Glavas had a huge chance to
settle the issue, but he was stopped by Joswig from only 5 meters.
Paderborn opened up somewhat, and Guscinas had a couple of chances, but
they came to nothing. Instead, WSV had a couple of huge chances. After 69.
minutes, Siegloff was in 1-on-1 against Joswig, but was disgracefully off
target. 5 minutes later, it was deja-vu, as again he failed to put the
game away. As so often happens, WSV was to pay dearly for this crap.
Vogt blasted a shot from 22 meters in the 88th minute, leaving Ogrinc
no chance. Then in injury time, Enge headed home the winner, and WSV,
incredibly, had lost again.
After the match, coach Rudi Gores was furious. "Hopefully next year we'll
have players on the field that know how to win games like this". Whether
he's around next season or not is an open question.
Paderborn's coach Rybarcyzk proved he was clueless, as he stated he felt
his team deserved to win. Paderborn's win was highway robbery.
