Bundesliga: Day 15 - ...but more importantly FORTUNA won!!!

Arminia Bielefeld - FC Bayern München 0:1
MSV Duisburg - 1.FC Nürnberg 1:0
VfB Stuttgart - Borussia Dortmund 1:2
VfL Wolfsburg - Eintracht Frankfurt 2:2
FC Energie Cottbus - Karlsruher SC 2:0
FC Schalke 04 - VfL Bochum 1:0
Hertha BSC Berlin - Bayer 04 Leverkusen 0:3
SV Werder Bremen - Hamburger SV 2:1
FC Hansa Rostock - Hannover 96 0:3

Nothing special this weekend. Bremen won the top match against Hamburg, in which the two goalkeepers made hilarious mistakes as if they wanted to apply for the post as the England goalkeeper. Bayern won against Bielefeld and keeps the first place. Dortmund regrouped and defeated Stuttgart with a2-1 away win. Leverkusen crushed Berlin and Nürnberg lost once more.

The highlight of this weekend in football came today when Fortuna Köln defated VfL Leverkusen 4:2 in the top match in the 5th division. 3rd place Fortuna started well and scored two brilliant goals against 4th place Leverkusen who didn't seem to keep up with the speed of Cologne. But then came the intervall and the game looked completely different after the break. After the consolation goal it was a ridiculous mistake by Fortuna keeper Blech which levelled the score. But then Fortuna got back into geasr and scored twice. The atmosphere was brilliant, lots of chants and screaming and the supporters cheered the team when the came to them after the final whistle. This is what I really like about football. It doesn't need to be a multi million team with some damn arena type of stadium. This is what football is all about. A pitch, lousy weather and people who appreciate the spirit the players show on the field. Fortuna is now still in 3rd place, 3 points behind leaers Viktoria who still have a game in hand.
