Thanks Buddy!

It feels nice to win again. Even if it was a bit lucky in the end, every team is due a bit of that now and again. It’s our turn.

KSC started bright, missing several good chances before giving us a present- keeper Markus Miller misjudged a long ball from Arne Friedrich, allowing Gojko Kacar to snip in and get his first goal for the club. It’s nothing less than he’s deserved for his good play since coming to the capitol in January. The young Serb has been a fine signing for us, and now that he’s got his first goal hopefully more will come.

The second goal also came as the result of a mistake. Patrick Ebert made the most of a midfield turnover, racing forward and rounding Miller, then sending a pass in so Pante can get his twelfth goal of the season.

Two-nil up at the half, then, all without playing particularly well. This would continue in the second half, with KSC pressing hard, then eventually scoring. They came close on more occasions, before interplay between Raffael and Miniero (who might have been offside, but if it wasn’t called, I’m not going to complain) set up Rudi Skacel to slam a rebound shot into the open net. While it was the easy part, it could have just been an agonizing miss from Raffael without Skacel coming in at the right time.

The end result? A 3-1 win where we didn’t play very well, as recognized by Karslruher coach Edmund Becker and our Lulu. Lulu in particular was not particularly happy, saying that we have to “vastly improve” in the next three games.

Although I’ll probably take another not-played-well win, personally. As would Steve von Bergen, who said “I would rather play badly and win, than the other way round.”

Goals and other highlights after the jump!
