Jol and Rutten lose again
Sunday 16 November 2008
There was little enjoyment for
Dutch coaches Martin Jol and Fred Rutten in the Bundesliga
as both had to swallow defeat with their teams.
Jol and Hamburg lost 2-1 at Hertha
BSC Berlin while Rutten and Schalke 04 went down with
the same result at the hands of league leaders Leverkusen.
Leverkusen took a 2-0 lead by goals
of Stefan Kiessling and Patrick Helmes.
It wasn't until the last quarter
of the game that Schalke started looking for something
themselves.
They did pull one back and actually
thought they scored an equalizer in the last minute
of the game, but Asamoah was inches offside when he
thought he had given his team an undeserved point.
The third defeat in the Bundesliga
now puts Rutten's team on seventh spot, eight points
behind the joint leaders Leverkusen and Hoffenheim.
Martin Jol's Hamburg had a tough
afternoon in Berlin.
It's been a while since Hamburg
won in Berlin and again it wasn't to be.
HSV didv take the lead in the first
half by a great Mladen Petric goal.
But after the break Cicero and
the Bulgarian substitute Valeri Domovtsjiski scored
for the home team to decide the game at 2-1.
After the victory Hertha now overtake
Hamburg in the ranking and fourth spot, fourth points
behind Leverkusen and Hoffenheim.
Hamburg are fifth one point behind
Berlin.
Other Dutchmen in the Bundesliga
booked better results.
At Borussia Mönchengladbach
Vs Bayern Munich there were three of them on the pitch.
Patrick Paauwe and Roel Brouwers
For Gladbach and Mark van Bommel for Bayern brotherly
shared the points after Bayern had taken a 2-0 lead
after 65 minutes.
But two goals of the home team
in the last ten minutes put the result on 2-2.
Arnold Bruggink only played the
last 15 minutes for his team Hannover '96 at home against
Vfl Bochum (1-1).
Bruggink is usually a regular at
Hannover but has been suffering a string of injuries
recently.
