After almost a year, Leipzig's goalkeeper Gulacsi is back between the posts for the first time in the nail-biting win in Wiesbaden. Afterwards, he receives praise from the coach.

The end of goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi's time of suffering also delighted RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose. "It was already a special moment for him. We are happy for him that he is back after a difficult time with setbacks during the injury," Rose said after the comeback of the 33-year-old. At the 3:2-Zittersieg in the 1st round of the DFB Cup at the second-division soccer team SV Wehen Wiesbaden, the Hungarian was again between the posts.

Nearly a year ago, Gulacsi had torn the cruciate ligament and since then fought for his return to the gate. On Wednesday evening it was then finally so far. "I'm very happy and proud that I managed to do this. It's not something that can be taken for granted," he said. "He was very emotional, even after the game in the dressing room," reported Rose. "You can see how much he missed it."

While Gulacsi's lack of match practice was noticeable, he was nevertheless one of the team's mainstays again right away. "He got two buden, but was there in one or the other dicey situation. It was a good first step back to old strength," Rose praised the goalkeeper. In the Bundesliga top game against Bayern Munich next Saturday, however, Gulacsi will again make way for Janis Blaswich. "I still have several steps to go," the RB captain said.
