With an effective appearance against the bottom of Jahn Regensburg, SV Elversberg keeps a connection to the top group in the 2nd Bundesliga. After the clear 6: 0 (3: 0) against Regensburg, the gap to the relegation place after the 28th matchday is only two points.
Tom Zimmerschied (13th minute), Carlo Sickinger (36th, penalty) and Fislik Asllani (43.) shot a clear lead before the break. Semih Sahin (57.), Robin Fellhauer (65th) and Asllani (87th) with his second goal followed in the second round to win 6-0. SVE trainer Horst Steffen was correspondingly satisfied in the sports show talk: “We had the feeling right from the start: we get our rooms and then played it properly.“

Six game days before the end, the Saarlanders can dream of two points behind in third place from the large promotion coup towards the Bundesliga. For Regensburg, on the other hand, after the seventh away loss in a row, the air at the other end of the table is getting thinner. To make up for eight points behind in six games may be difficult or impossible for the promoted performance after the performance shown. Coach Andreas Patz also saw this on the Sportschau-Microphone: “It’s just not acceptable.“
Regensburg courageously, Elversberg effective
Regensburg took the task in Elversberg courageously, got into the duels and searched his chances. Sargis Adamyan had the first good chance of shooting after seven minutes, but was still blocked by Lukas Pinckert. The second attempt by the Jahn attacker (12th) also steered the Elversberger defense past the goal.
After the subsequent cornerball, the hosts then showed mercilessly how to finish attacks. With a pass, Lukas Petkov was on the right. The sharp cross in the middle let Asllani through for room difference, which only had to insert from a short distance.
Sickinger and Asllani increase for the SVE
And in principle it continued according to the same pattern. Regensburg tried, but did not really come to an end and Elversberg countered. This is how the next goals were created. Initially, Regensburg’s Andreas Geipl slipped into a shot attempt by Sahin and was hit on the spread arm. Sickinger brought the due penalty safely to the bottom right of the 2-0 in the goal.
A little later, the SVE played through the next ball win. Room difference escaped on a plug -on pass through half -left, put in the penalty area clever across Asllani, which only had to insert. The effort and yield fit at Elversberg, at Regensburg it was exactly the other way around.
SVE pulls through mercilessly
So it went on in two halftime. The guests made the first shot – but Elversberg scored the goal. Again, the team of coach Horst Steffen only needed three passes to play from their own half to a final position. Sahin completed the return train from the drawing board with a shot from 14 meters in top left into the goal.

Regensburg fell completely, the rooms just not defended the rooms after loss of ball and was far too harmless overall. Elversberg took it mercilessly. Felgenhauer was completely bare after another ball relay at the penalty point, wiggled the unfortunate Jahn goalkeeper Julian Pollersbeck and pushed in 5-0.
At the end of the end, the class difference was particularly painful on this day: after a free kick whistle for Elversberg, Regensburg was still sorting. Manuel Feil played the free kick in the center of the lightning speed on Asllani, who turned up and wetted from 15 meters to the top of the 6: 0 final and thus to the highest second division victory in the SVE.
