When oppressive silence fell in the BayArena after about 10 minutes during the cup match against Union, it was clear that football was only a secondary consideration. So a medical emergency in F1 turned the game into a ghost game. Thanks also to the Union Fans for stopping their support, but sometimes there are more important things in life. By half-time the situation was defused and the affected Bayer fan was on his way to hospital after successful resuscitation.
That was also the starting signal for the Werkself to make up for the 0:1 half-time deficit. With the support of Karim Bellarabi, who had just been replaced, the equaliser was achieved and when the opponents were already preparing for extra time, Charles headed the ball into the net for a cheering 2-1 win. Diaby's baby goal for 3:1 in injury time made everything clear.
Karim is now probably the most feared striker on the Union side, having netted the winning goal for the Werkself in the injury time at the Werkself away game in Berlin just over two weeks ago.

That could be Bayern or Frankfurt, but also Saarbrücken. Wishless players are not considered anyway, you have to take what comes.
