Again a strong Line-up against shiny Rangers and coming with it a very strong Bench made it easy to score 3 goals for a mostly dominating GAS side. Problem is that Hermann is now 4th in the internal Goal-Table having scored his 3rd own goal this season…and that fact made GAS struggle in the last 20 Minutes against a waking up Rangers squad.
nBefore that it was mainly the Germans having possession and chances, and Michael scoring the opener after a nice pass by Volker after 30 minutes. Some minutes later it was again Michael after a long pass from Jens and a misunderstanding in the Rangers defense to double the lead with a nice lob. Hitting the crossbar, some great safes by the Rangers Keeper, too much Klein-Klein and Hermann´s will to do something for the almost sold out Japanese Association made the game pulsating and Pipo again use his head to make a great safe just before the final whistle.
nAll in all deserved victory for GAS, but we need to improve in scoring goals as Micha is the only one doing so at the moment…OK, and Hermann!
nThanks Rangers for a ever fair match – looking forward to a possible Cup-Final!
