Brussels battered late by Vienna
By: Ray Porter
Matchday 7 saw league leaders Vienna faced off against a reinvigorated Brussels KV side, with most league supporters dreading if the Austrians could extend their winning run to 7.
The first half didn't gift us any goals, although Løord Bendtner and Moritz Hoffmann came close with 3 very good headers that were denied by the outstanding Brussels keeper Chad Cockney. Although they were mostly dominated throughout the game, Brussels got some good chances on the break.
Vienna's frustration grew, as the second half started with more of the same: Brussels defending compactly and Vienna wasting multiple great opportunities. In the 75th minute, Vienna got their lead through their savior King Hart, who scored after Brussels failed to clear a cross. Throwing caution into the wind in pursuit of an equalizer, Brussels was continuously hit on the counter.
In the 88th minute, Hoffmann got the second ball after a long ball by Finglebottom and scored his first of the evening after missing all night. Vienna further cemented their status as a late game team with Kain and Hoffmann combining for a third goal as the latter scores after a through ball in the 90+4th minute.
