🤔 No Woltemade, no worries: VfB striker steps up right on cue | OneFootball

That Nick Woltemade was not in the starting lineup caused surprise today at around 19:45: worth 75 million, but no help against Eintracht Braunschweig? So far, one can conclude: he's not really missing in the VfB attack today, maybe because another VfB striker is stepping up.

Ermedin Demirović scored the quick equalizer in the first half after a Nübel mistake and now shows after the restart that he seems to be reliable in important situations.

After Angelo Stiller broke through the Braunschweig defense in the 60th minute - with a bit of luck - while dribbling, he passed to Demirović in the penalty area, who didn't miss the opportunity.

Your opinion is requested: Is Demirović proving that a possible Woltemade departure would be negligible, or did the first half, which was overall somewhat uninspired from VfB, show how important Woltemade is for the Swabians?

UPDATE: In the 71st minute, Nick Woltemade was substituted in for Deniz Undav, seven minutes later Braunschweig equalized 2:2 through Fabio Di Michele Sanchez.
