🔥 Karazor’s rallying cry falls flat, Bavarian clique outfoxed | OneFootball

Things aren’t going smoothly so far for last season’s fourth-place team. After seven matches, the Wontorriors have only collected six points—far fewer than they had hoped for. If they still want a chance at the Final 6 in Vienna, they desperately need points. But today, a tough challenge awaits: the Bavarian Clique. This team has scored the most goals so far and also boasts the second-best defense. They’ve also received support from VfB stars Ermedin Demirovic, Noah Darwich, and Atakan Karazor. The VfB captain, who played his 200th competitive match for Stuttgart over the weekend, fired up the Clique ahead of the game.

The Wontorriors started strong. Johann von Knebel scored twice in the first three minutes, confirming his excellent form.

The Bavarian Clique then took control, but repeatedly lost the ball carelessly during their build-up play. The Wontorriors took full advantage. One such counterattack led to the 4-2 goal, finished by Mohamed Karma—and that’s how they went into halftime.

After the break, the Clique managed to equalize again, but the pattern remained the same: they dominated possession, while the Wontorriors countered and punished every mistake.

The strategy paid off. In the end, Martin Harnik’s team secured an 8-6 victory. Von Knebel, with three goals and one assist, was named player of the match.

The Bavarian Clique will have to rethink their risky build-up play after this match. 

With this win, the Wontorriors are back in the race for a top-eight spot and, for now, move up to 10th place.
