Steady as She Goes: Waldhof Stuck in the Middle Amid 3. Bundesliga Clash
- Draw in Wiesbaden: Waldhof and Opponent Tie at 2-2
In the rugged landscape of the 3. Bundesliga, SV Waldhof Mannheim finds itself still struggling for solid footing. A 2:2 draw against SV Wehen Wiesbaden on April 5th did little to lift the Palatinates above the mire.
SV Waldhof Mannheim saw the return of striker Terrence Boyd following a three-month injury layoff in the 62nd minute. Sascha Voelcke also reappeared on the pitch.
The first half exhibited a cautious game plan from both teams, with two long balls leading to two goals. Wiesbaden broke the deadlock through Nick Batzner (44.), but Felix Lohkemper equalized (45.+3), delighting the 5,417 spectators.
In the second half, Lohkemper came close to notching a second goal. Wiesbaden held the upper hand in opportunities, with Ryan Johansson finding the back of the net (73.). But Mannheim countered with Voelcke heading in from Lohkemper's assist (85.).
