The Wolfsburg soaring under Florian Kohfeldt has already ended despite an 85-second double strike.
In his fourth game on the VfL coaching bench, Lower Saxony did not get beyond a 2: 2 (0: 1) with relegation candidate Arminia Bielefeld.
VfL had won the first three games under the former Werder coach, and no Wölfe coach had achieved four successes at the start since the second division promotion in 1992.
Masaya Okugawa (11th minute) and Fabian Klos (54th / foul penalty) earned Bielefeld the lead. Wout Weghorst (62nd) and young national player Lukas Nmecha (63rd) equalized for long uninspired Wolfsburg, who suffered a setback in the fight for the new Champions League qualification despite great morale.
Despite his good start on the Wolfsburg coaching bench, Kohfeldt recognized some room for improvement before the duel with East Westphalia. “So far we have found it difficult to play forward in a structured manner. We want to play single-minded combination football. We haven't seen it yet, ”said the 39-year-old. The VfL defensive with the three-man chain established under Kohfeldt had to cope with the momentum of the Bielefelds. After the first win of the season before the international break in Stuttgart, the table penultimate in front of 19,801 spectators was visibly inspired, played straight forward after winning the ball and kept falling behind. It paid off. Patrick Wimmer, who played with a face mask after a concussion and a broken nose, was waiting for a counterattack.the right moment and served Okugawa with a lob into the interface. The Japanese finished straight away - and scored the DSC's first competitive goal against Wolfsburg after more than ten hours. Bielefeld found even more rooms, Alessandro Schöpf dribbled another good chance to finish (17th).
On the other hand, Nmecha, most recently Wolfsburg's best, was looking for a bond with the game.
The Lower Saxony had more possession of the ball, but rarely penetrated into the opposing penalty area.
And when they did, the people of Bielefeld defended passionately.
After changing sides, Kohfeldt switched, Maximilian Philipp instead of Renato Steffen should put more pressure on.
The approaches were worth seeing, Nmecha came to a free conclusion after a nice combination (48th).
On the other side, Schöpf dribbled into the penalty area again, Kevin Mbabu came too late - the actually harmless situation resulted in a foul penalty for Bielefeld, and Klos converted flat to his third goal of the season.
After the 2-0 defeat, VfL went on the offensive, with another attacker in Dodi Lukebakio.
He prepared the connection goal - and only 85 seconds later, with the video assistant checking the first VfL goal in the meantime, he hit Wolfsburg again.
After Arminen kicked off, it took only 17 seconds for the ball to land in the home side's goal again.
