Terrier's spectacular backheel sets up Leverkusen's derby win over Cologne

BERLIN (AP) --- Martin Terrier scored a contender for goal of the season as
Bayer Leverkusen defeated local rival Cologne 2-0 in their 73rd Bundesliga
derby on Saturday.
Arthur's cross from the right was behind Terrier, but the French forward
dropped down and looped the ball in over Cologne goalkeeper Marvin Schwbe with
the back of his heel to break the deadlock in the 66th minute.
Robert Andrich headed in from Aleix Garcia's corner six minutes later to seal
the win.
Leverkusen was without key players Patrik Schick and Alex Grimaldo but still
boasted enough talent to create the greater chances against the visitors, who
had injury-enforced absences of their own.
The win kept Leverkusen in fourth place, the last for Champions League
qualification.
Frankfurt digs deep Ritsu Doan scored for Eintracht Frankfurt to end its four-game winless run across all competitions with a 1-0 win over Augsburg. The Japan forward took the ball past two Augsburg defenders and unleashed his shot before he was closed down by two more. The deflection from a retreating defender took the ball beyond Finn Dahmen in the Augsburg goal in the 68th minute, setting off relief-tinged celebrations around the stadium. Noahkai Banks briefly spoiled the mood when he equalized late, but the goal was ruled out for offside after a VAR check. It was the second goal that was ruled out for offside for the visitors in the game. Frankfurt lost narrowly at Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday, after it was routed 6-0 at home by Leipzig in its previous game. "The lads tried with all they had left in the tank," Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmller said of his team's busy schedule. "They were lacking that bit of freshness. It's been a grueling six months." St. Pauli finally wins St. Pauli overcame a harsh sending off to end its 10-game winless run with a 2-1 victory over relegation rival Heidenheim. Pauli had Eric Smith sent off before the break when referee Sren Storks penalized him for a foul on Marvin Pieringer as the last defender, though TV replays showed the Heidenheim forward made the most of light contact and threw himself to the ground. There was no VAR intervention. Martijn Kaars had already put Pauli ahead, and he stunned the visitors by scoring the second against the run of play early the second half. Pieringer pulled one back later, but Pauli held on for its third league win of the season. Wolfsburg's revival under interim coach Daniel Bauer continued with a 3-1 win at Borussia Mnchengladbach. It stretched the team's unbeaten run to three games. Hoffenheim defeated promoted Hamburger SV 4-1 for its fourth straight home win. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer |
