McCarthy nets for Rovers but goal in vain

Blackburn went down 3-1 to TSG Hoffenheim in a pre-season friendly in Austria on Monday. After a goal-less first-half, Paul Ince's men went behind on 51 minutes through a Christoph Janker goal. But Rovers hit back on 63 minutes when Benni McCarthy volleyed home when the ball fell kindly to him following a corner. But the Bundesliga outfit re-took the lead just two minutes later when Matthias Jaissle headed in from a free-kick. Hoffenheim extended their advantage when Janker fired home in the last minute to record a fine win.
