Kovac’s Substitution Saves the Day: Wolfsburg Coach’s Job Safe After Draw with Dortmund

His golden touch saves his job!

Before the game against Dortmund (1:1), Wolfsburg coach Niko Kovac was heavily criticized. Because his team only got two wins from the last 15 Bundesliga games.

There won’t be a win against BVB either, but Kovac should probably be more firmly in the saddle for the time being.

The reason: At the break he substitutes Gerhardt for Svanberg. A stroke of luck! The joker stings: Dortmund cannot clear a corner twice. Gerhardt prevailed in the crowd just before the line and headed in from two meters to make it 1-1 (64′).

Two weeks ago against Hoffenheim (2:2), Kovac substituted double packer Majer and remained in office.

After the final whistle, Wolfsburg boss Schäfer and referee Petersen argued for minutes in the players’ tunnel. Both discuss loudly. The war of words is about a scene shortly before the final whistle. What happened?

Baku wins a duel against Bynoe-Gittens in their own penalty area and actually plays the ball. Nevertheless, referee Petersen gives a free kick. As a result, a pack forms. Moukokou, Jenz and Arnold therefore see yellow.

Last week at Union Berlin (0-1), Schäfer clashed with the referee team and had to go to the stands.

After the final whistle, Schäfer is said to have had another verbal altercation with the referees in the dressing room corridor of the “Alte Försterei”, according to BILD information. And entered and exited the referee’s booth several times. “Clear” words are said to have been spoken in the direction of the referees.

Wolfsburg is initially behind against BVB: VfL keeper Casteels cannot hold on to a Reus shot and lets the ball bounce forward. So Füllkrug has it easy and stumbles the ball over the line from a short distance with his thigh (8th).

The national striker is on a roll: Füllkrug scores his sixth goal in the sixth game after the winter break, no player has scored more often in 2024.

After that, there was shockingly little offensive action from the Terzic team. And Wolfsburg has the better chances. After a Svanberg cross, Paredes narrowly missed the equalizer with his header (27th). At VfL, the commitment, will and passion are there.

The next big opportunity came in stoppage time: Behrens suddenly appeared free in front of Kobel, but the BVB goalkeeper made a strong save and steered the ball onto the post (45th + 8th).

Due to numerous tennis ball protests and several interruptions, there is hardly any flow of play.

Although BVB will remain undefeated in 2024 (four wins, two draws), they are once again not convincing in terms of play.
