Schick avoids farewell to the defeat of Xabi Alonso de la Bundesliga

Two goals from Czech Patrick Schick and a Var review In the final action of the match, validating a possible local success, they avoided defeating Spanish Xabi Alonso in their last game in Bundesliga, without at stake and came out with a draw in the Mainz field (2-2) that got the necessary point to play in Europe next year thanks Jonathan Burkardt.

There is nothing at all at Alonso’s team, second to Bundesliga no matter what happened, in the future, and the presence of the next edition of the Champions League as a prize. Only at the table is a farewell ending, which achieved it despite the uncertainty generated at the time the referee focused on browing the varil when marked by Mainz, in 93, the third goal. It canceled the hand.

I’m not affecting anyone, Stefan Bell’s goal is improper because of the same harvest that previously with Leipzig stumbled against Stuttgart (2-3), Bo Henriksen’s painting won his place in the next year’s conference league.

This is a rivalry with farewell ending. In addition to Alonso’s, Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah, assumed, quarrels are a challenge to scoring between Schick and Burkardt part of the upper part of the Bundesliga scorers. Both behind English Harry Kane, the leading gunner and Serhou Guirassy, ​​of Borussia Dortmund.

This is a happy ending for everyone. Mainz celebrated Europe’s classification. Alonso and the remaining players head to the corner of the stadium where his fans are located to say goodbye and thank the support. They are moments of emotion and the closure of a time, well, of leverkusen, champion at the last course and runner -up in this edition. It is a party, on both sides.

The climax on a face on the face that showed a variety of intensity between a team with at stake, the Mainz and another of all made. Just pride. In fact, Mainz took advantage of half an hour with Paul Nebel’s goal of passing Nadiem Amiri although everything changed in the second half.

Andreas Hanche Olsen’s deficiency at the beginning of the second part, within the area, was the penalty that gave Xabi’s equivalent. It was changed by Schick to two minutes later, at 50, the network ended, a pass from Aleix García that led Leverkusen.

I’m not in the script. Leverkusen, without much tension, had a hunting game, early. But a foul inside the Brazilian Arthur area of ​​Korean Jae Sung Lee, warned by Var, was punished by the penalty that Burkardt took advantage of and it meant a tie.

Then the Euphoria arrived a possible 3-2, canceled by Stefan Bell’s monitor. But Mainz already has Europe in his hand. Leipzig failed.
