pride shows

There are few words that can describe the intensity 96 AWD-Arena against Dortmund in fighting back for a 4-4 draw but effectively pride shows. In fighting back for the draw Dieter Hecking’s men showed what they are of and while their are many battles to be fought, this is a turning point .

The match didn’t start well as BVB took the lead seventeen minutes after the opening whistle as Alexander Frei scored from the spot after Nuri Şahin was brought down in the area by Michael Tarnat. Only ten minutes later Florian Kringe made it 2-0 and things looked bleak. However Jiří Štajner started the charge back three minutes before the break as he sent a corner in. Replaying the same circumstance three minutes after the restart Arnold Bruggink found the back of the net from a corner and the match was now level. However in a three minute binge just past the hour Kringe and Frei restored the two goal lead for BVB and the situation was once again bleak. Yet in the final ten minutes that could be remembered for turning the season around and something to build on for the future, Mike Hanke reduced the margin to one and only three minutes later, the spot was a pointed after Hanke was brought down by Neven Subotić and Mikael Forssell converted.

Pride shows and with a tough 4-4 draw against the Bundesliga’s best defenders 96 proved what they are capable of.
