Marcel Zapytowski stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

IBV settle it inside twenty minutes

Talks stall between IBV and Marcel Zapytowski
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
