SGE debutant and scorer of a substitute goal Aurelio Buta also commented on opening his Bundesliga account after a long and tortuous wait.
Glasner agreed.
“I congratulate Schalke on a very, very good performance,” Glasner told his interviewer, “I expected that from them and knew that we might have problems there. It’s a victory that was not deserved at this level. I almost like what I saw from Schalke better than what I saw from us. We have some things we need to work through.”
Kind words aside, the three points will undeniably serve as a boost for the Rhein-Main Eagles. Moreover, the manner in which two of the substitutes were able to add the two late goals gives the bench a boost. Want-away striker Rafael Santos Borré notched his second goal of the current campaign with the 2-0.
After not even appearing once for Frankfurt since joining on a free from Royal Antwerp this summer, Portuguese/Angolan right-back Aurelio Buta completed the 3-0 with a goal in his Bundesliga debut. Buta might soon be playing an even more prominent role for the team after makeshift right-back – whom Buta replaced – Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe succumbed to injury in the win.
“It feels great. I couldn’t have imagined my debut any better,” Buta is quoted via the club’s website, “Despite the bad luck with injuries, I’ve always tried to stay positive and worked hard. In addition, my family has been very supportive, which has also helped me to come back as quickly as possible.”
