December: Eventful end to the year against Freiburg
FCA’s exceptional 2017 has come to a close. The twelve months have had serious highs, some lows and records broken. Today, we’re taking a look back at FCA’s December.
At the beginning of December, FCA still had four matches to play before the winter break. First, FCA travelled to Mainz where they hadn’t won in any of their last five visits. Alfred Finnbogason (2) and Michael Greogoritsch scored to put an end to that run and secure a 3-1 victory for FCA.
Hertha BSC travelled down south for FCA’s penultimate home game of the calendar year. FCA put on an incredibly impressive performance and took the lead through Caiby, but had to walk away with just a point after conceding an equaliser in added time. Just three days later, FCA travelled to Gelsenkirchen to face Schalke. Despite going 2-0 down, FCA showed their team spirit and managed to bring the score level at 2-2.
