Berlin, Germany – Na dat time again! Hertha BSC dey waka follow Eintracht Braunschweig for dem home ground. But no be small wahala, as dem no fit score for first half!
Abeg, dem crowd don tire to dey watch ball wey no dey enter net. Hertha BSC, wey dey fight to make sense for the second league, been dey expect sey dis match go be one chance to sharpen dem skills. But wetin happen? E be like sey dem forget sey ball suppose enter net too!
As dem match dey go, dem both teams dey play like say dem dey inside one Gbege contest. Hertha get ball for ground 54% of the time, but wetin e mean when no chance dey turn to goal? Wetin dem dey do na just hot air, like negative pressure. (No be joke, dem players need new boots wey go fit kick well!)
For the first half, Paul Gorgas, na im dey cover dis match, report say sey nearly before dem first half end, Eintracht Braunschweig nearly catch Hertha off guard. Conteh just dey run run like sey na him dey try win Olympic gold for sprint! But chukoo, he miss the target wetin suppose don enter. Na wah!
Dem coach for Hertha, Stefan Leitl, don dey pack like snowman, but e no fit keep dem boys in line. After sey dem no fit break the deadlock, e fit soon start to vex well well (abi na wetin dem dey call motivation?).
As match dey continue, dem players for both sides dey like dem dey train for super slow motion. Even when dem dey get corner kick, na only square ball dem fit cough out. E no get drama, e no get action! E be like sey dem just dey pass time until dem referee blow whistle for half time.
For anybody wey dey watch from the side, e be like sey dem just wan collect airtime for dem follow-follow fans, because this na one match wey go make everybody dey ask, ‘Who’s dey play again?’ E be like sey dem need to spice am small with some jollof or something wey go ginger dem game.
Na when dem halftime message don land, fans dey hope for something different as dem dey prepare for second half. Who go carry the team on im shoulder? Time go tell. If dem fit find their groove, who sabi, maybe dem go fit still snatch victory from jaws of draw – or maybe na just more disappointment dey wait for dem at the end of dis adventure.
