A dream goal in front of the Nordkurve: Marius Bülter on one aim, two goals and three points

With his fifth and sixth goals of the season, Marius Bülter was one of the main figures on Saturday (27.11) in the 5-2 win over SV Sandhausen. Both goals are well worth watching! First, the attacker smashed one in off the underside of the bar just after the hour mark, before following it up with a candidate for goal of the month. In the 76th minute, Reinhold Ranftl crossed and the 28-year-old flicked it into the far corner.
