Rot-Weiss Essen missed the first third division home victory of the season against VfL Osnabrück. On the 6th matchday there was a 1-1 (0: 0) tension on Hafenstraße.
Lars Kehl put Osnabrück in the lead from the penalty point on Wednesday evening (66th minute of the game), Tom Moustier equalized two minutes after a corner kick and thus ensured the just draw. Essen brought the third draw in the current season and has to wait for the first home win in the table midfield.
First half without the very big chances
The Essen Essen Egg, Essen, which was unchanged after the 3-1 win in Regensburg, began the game concentrated and more active than the guests. However, RWE could not earn good opportunities at first, instead Essen’s goalkeeper Jakob Golz made a moment of shock when he did not process a back pass and thus made it possible for the Osnabrückers almost a slapstick goal (21st).
It was the prelude to a somewhat more lively game phase, and food also came to conclusions. Striker Jannik Mause was sent after 25 minutes and pulled out from an acute angle, but his shot rushed over the goal. But the guests also gave courage, at first Kai Pröger could have met from a good position, but Essen’s Lucas Brumme clarified in the greatest need. A little later Golz was able to distinguish himself when he fished Bryan Henning’s low shot out of the short corner (32nd)
Osnabrück’s good phase with gate
The hosts also started better in the second round. After a fine double pass between the mause and Ahmet Arslan, Mause came to a good chance, this time his end ended up next to the goal (54th). But food stayed tuned, Arslan got a seat with a fine movement and narrowly missed the gate with his distance hammer.
But as in the first half, Essen osnabrück gave up more after a while. At first, Robin Meißner stumbled in an excellent position (63.), less than minute later Golz held the massive long -range shot from Kehl. Inattentiveness on Essen’s defensive finally gave the guests the lead: Francis Bouebari clumsy Patrick Kammerbauer clumsy over his heap, referee Assad Nouhoum pointed to the point. Kehl safely converted to 0: 1 from Essen’s point of view.
Essen compensation: Moustier is attentive
However, the response of the home team was not long in coming. Moustier switched quickly after an extended corner kick, stopped the ball with the chest and shot massively from a short distance for quick balance. RWE was quickly back in the game, the 1-1 start should be the start of an exciting final phase in which it went back and forth.
Essen coach Uwe Koschinat tried to influence the game, Ramien Safi, Jaka Cuber Potocnik, Kelsey Owusu and Torben Mussel had fresh offensive forces. But it was not enough against well -defending Osnabrücker to a real urge phase. It remained in the performance -based draw.
