The German Wolves attempted to answer via strong efforts from new starters Josip Brekalo and Yannick Gerhardt. Bucaneering fullback Ridle Baku eventually pulled Germany's green company team level with a scorching effort in the 20th.
A very intense game of tactical cat and mouse ensued between the two managers. It took roughly a half hour after the restart for Labbadia to break down Oliver Glasner's defensive set-up. After the 75th, the chances came fast and furious with striker Jhon Cordoba missing several late chances before the full-time whistle blew.
