The 19th matchday of the German Bundesliga kicked off with Holstein Kiel drawing 2-2 against VfL Wolfsburg.

In contrast, the Storks capitalized on their efficiency, scoring with their first shot on target. David Zec headed the ball into the VfL net in the 13th minute, putting Kiel in the lead.
The dynamics of the game changed dramatically after the break. The Lower Saxony team came out more aggressively and turned the game around in the first eight minutes of the second half. Patrick Wimmer and Jonas Wind scored for Wolfsburg, putting the home team in the lead. Kiel’s defense then tightened up, but the visitors were too reckless with their chances. Ten minutes from the final whistle, Steven Skrzybski equalized for Kiel.
The promoted team will face a tough challenge in their next match in Munich, while VfL Wolfsburg has a difficult task ahead of them in Frankfurt, where they will face Eintracht.
