SG Wattenscheid 09 lost 2:3 at 1. FC Köln II on matchday 10 of the Regionalliga West. Kim Sané’s offside goal would have put Wattenscheid on the winning track.
The score was still 2-2 when Kim Sané broke through the Cologne defence in his SG Wattenscheid 09’s match against 1. FC Köln II on Matchday 10 of the Regionalliga West and drove the ball past FC keeper Matthias Köbbing into the net. It would have been the 3:2 lead for Wattescheid in a game that ended 3:2 for Cologne – only a few minutes after Sané’s goal was disallowed for offside, Cologne substitute Pierre Nadjombe scored the winning goal on the other side (82nd).
“Too bad about my offside goal! I didn’t see it that way, that it was offside. But I have to live with that,” said Sané after the game and added: “We were clearly the better team today.”
Sané was also unable to understand the decision to send off Wattenscheid coach Christian Britscho shortly before half-time – without holding a grudge: “I thought the card for the coach was unnecessary and I don’t know what the referee was thinking. But it is what it is,” the 27-year-old summed up.
This was much better today compared to the last games. We didn’t break away after falling behind.
Kim Sané
Sané, who together with his attacking partners Umut Yildiz and Julian Meier was able to repeatedly set up pinpricks, was able to take one positive thing from the game: the fact that they came back after falling behind: “Compared to the last games, that was much better today. We didn’t break away after falling behind,” said the older brother of Bayern player Leroy Sané optimistically.
First season after five-year break from football for Kim Sané
Nevertheless, Sané, who returned to the SG Wattenscheid at the beginning of the season after a five-year break from football, and his team mates are facing a bitter defeat at the end of the season – and are currently in last place in the Regionalliga West. It is quite possible that you will have to deal with setbacks again and again – it helps to know that it is worth it, that you can come back. Even if against 1. FC Köln II this luck of recovery only lasted until the 82nd minute.
