Sarpreet Singh followed his penalty goal against Ingolstadt last week with the start against Hansa Rostock, logging 84 mins before he was replaced in BM2’s final substitution... but he wasn’t able to spark a result as the lads went down 1-0 to a 45th minute John Verhoek goal, despite a couple agonisingly close calls.

He had a decent crack in the first half running onto a loose ball in the box and absolutely smashing it towards goal but the keeper was in the right spot to palm it away. Would have stung for sure.
However a lot of the play happened behind him as BM2 had a lot of possession but turned it over cheaply a few times too often and thus left themselves exposed at the back. It was a chance like that which led to the goal. Verhoek’s finish on the spin was nice from about thirty metres out but he had an open goal to shoot into after keeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann rushed out and didn’t win the ball.

Into the second half and it was Singh’s turn to almost but not quite do the trick again. Drifting back across the edge of the area onto his left foot trying to find room to shoot, he ripped a thumper off the crossbar. Bugger. He also got utterly crunched on about the hour mark as he tried to get out on the counter and Lukas Scherff got a deserved yellow for that tackle. Scherff would eventually be sent off for a second bookable offence right at the end... but that happened with no time left for Bayern to take advantage.
A 1-0 defeat still has them very much in relegation trouble, they’re ahead of Kaiserslautern only via goal difference with six games remaining. But on the plus side, this was as influential as Sarpreet Singh has been since he returned to the club. Could be huge for them over those six games.
About 2.40 mins in, he hits the cross bar.
