That one match in the season in which Brandt actually overperforms.
@BeautifulLoser He was as bad as always, especially his ball control and passing. But he scored twice
@neumi17 I hate to break it to you, but you are wrong, as so many times. The thing is that Brandt is one of the best players of his generation when it come to the first touch and to passing.
@BeautifulLoser Ok, now I have heard everything :-)) Yes, he is really famous for his ability to stop the ball within a radius of 4 meters ...
0-1 final score
Both to score.
Both teams to score @ 1.57
