bad ending to season
By: Ulf | May 26th, 2009Werkself ended the Bundesliga season in a disappointing 3-0 loss to Cottbus which was marred by some extremely sloppy defending by Bruno Labbadia’s side. With the DFB Pokal final this week, the performance was particularly disheartening as Bayer 04 was picked apart by Cottbus. The victory however pushed Bojan Prašnikar’s Lausitz side out of automatic relegation and now face Nuremberg in the playoff battle starting on Thursday.
After a scoreless opening half which ended with Arturo Vidal being sent off with his second yellow-card, Energie poured forward looking for the go ahead goal. Five minutes after the break Ervin Skela sent a long ball down the left channel that Emil Jula out muscled Karim Haggui before scoring. Four minutes past the hour Energie doubled its margin as Skela chased down a ball on the right flank beating Haggui and sent the ball to Stiven Rivić who scored from the edge of the six-yard box. The embarrassing defending countinued as five minutes later another long ball to Skela resulted in him maneuvering around Michal Kadlec with Karim Haggui in pursuit. As he stopped Haggui ran over René Adler just as Skela crossed the ball to Emil Jula for a close range finish.
