Osnabrück – Focus has qualified for the round of 16 of the DFB-ePokal in FIFA 23. Koray “Koray” Kücükgünar and Dylan “DullenMIKE” Neuhausen prevailed against Holstein Kiel (2:0; 2:0). VBL club champions RB Leipzig also advanced to the next round with a win against Hannover 96 (3:2; 3:1).
The Iqonic team, which competes for the state league club VfR 1919 Grünstadt, managed a surprise. Joe “JH7” Hellmann and Lukas “lukas_official11” Wolff bowled last year’s winner FC St. Pauli out of the tournament. In the second game, the underdog equalized the best-of-three series on penalties – so the decision was made in doubles, in which Iqonic prevailed 2-1.
St. Pauli player Kamal “FCSP_Kamal” Kamboj was pissed off in an interview after the elimination. Any spectator with “two eyes” could see that the win was “completely undeserved,” he said.
RB Leipzig meets the rivals of Focus on May 24th – recently there had been repeated exchanges of blows between the teams on social networks. 1. FC Köln has to face VBL runners-up FC Hansa Rostock.
