VfR Aalen remains undefeated: 1-0 victory against TSG Backnang in the home game
VfR Aalen has won again in the current league season and remains undefeated. With a narrow 1-0 over the TSG Backnang, the team under coach Petar Kosturkov is at the top of the events. The encounter took place in Rohrwang at home, where the teams presented themselves in a rather waiting game mode for the first 45 minutes.
After the temperatures on this hot day exceeded the 30 degree mark, the first drinking break quickly became a need. The spectators saw some approaches on both sides, but real portrait chances were difficult to find. The first noteworthy option was for the guests from Backnang due to an energetic attack, which was defused by Aalens Odabas at the last moment.
Reserved first half time
The first half went without goals. Both teams felt themselves and many players still seemed to wait for the right rhythm. Although there were some quiet moments in the game, the action reaches a turning point when coach Kosturkov made some changes at half -time to bring a breath of fresh air.
Right at the beginning of the second half, HSV attacker Fofanah inherited a great opportunity when he penetrated into the penalty area and shot down the Backnanger keeper Caruso. However, this campaign remained without pointing effect because the margin went over the goal. The football game turned out to be demanding, with both teams fought for every centimeter of the field.
The decisive leadership for Aalen
A few minutes later, the Aalen fans could no longer hold their passion back. Again and again the time game was criticized by Backnang's goalkeeper Caruso, which ultimately also noticed the referee. An indirect free kick should bring VfR 1-0 in the lead - a goal that felt like a liberation. It was Campagna who promoted the Ball Clever into the net and ended the long search for the lead.
With the lead in the back, the audience literally raged, and the team tried to use this momentum. The switching game, led by Kienle and Fofanah, provided some dangerous advances. Shortly before the end, Kienle had the opportunity to try again with a header, but his attempt narrowly missed the goal. The guests had the chance to equalize in the last minute of the game, but Wick, the Aalen goalkeeper, kept his team with a great parade.
With this victory, VfR Aalen now has a total of ten points in four matches. The next test is already in Ravensburg on Wednesday, followed by another home game against VfR Mannheim on Saturday. The signs stand well for eels, and the fans can look at the upcoming games full of excitement.
