Verl strikes early and late in half one
The SCV got into the game well. Coach Michél Kniat’s team started high and tried to stress Wiesbaden early on. The fact that it was a very good start was initially due to the bad luck of the guests, who, in the person of Amin Farouk, only hit the crossbar after a careless loss of the ball (7th). And Ron Berlinski, who, in return, took the first SC chance coldly to make it 1-0 for the hosts, who were threatened with relegation (8th).
Playful approaches in the first half mostly fell victim to the intense duels in midfield, it didn’t work much, the SC didn’t take too much risk. But then: Verl managed an attack worth seeing shortly before half-time, which Mael Corboz successfully completed from the edge of the box (44th).
Lost outnumbered – Petkov puts the lid on it
Wiesbaden almost got the goal shortly after the restart, but a double chance was thwarted by Verl goalkeeper Niclas Thiede (50th).
The game got rougher, Luca Stellwagen received a yellow card for his borderline effort against Wehen Wiesbaden’s Jozo Stanic (53′). The SVWW response came promptly from Sascha Mockenhaupt, who returned the favor for Stanic at Stellwagen. The catch: Mockenhaupt was already warned and had to leave the field with yellow-red (54th).
After being sent off, Verl got more space in the Wiesbaden half and brought the game to an end in an organized manner. Joker Kasim Rabihic played well for Lukas Petkov, who made it 3-0 (68th).
Viktoria Köln must continue to tremble for relegation
Meanwhile could Victoria Cologne do not set themselves apart decisively. The Cologne team did not get beyond a 1-1 (1-1) draw at Hallescher FC.
The players on the right bank of the Rhine got off to a decent start and used the slumber in Halle’s defense early on to take the lead through Jeremias Lorch (8′).
But Viktoria didn’t really have the upper hand, because after a good half hour Halle’s Marcel Titsch-Rivero put the scoreboard back on level (33′). This was preceded by a corner kick that was blocked by Niklas Kreuzer – but Cologne was unable to defend the second ball. It remained 1:1, also because in the second half there was little offensive drive from Viktoria.
BVB II tripped up aspiring climber Lautern
In terms of sport, meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund II, placed safely in the middle of the table, was no longer concerned. Nevertheless, the BVB reserve tripped up promotion candidate Kaiserslautern and won 3-1 (1-0) on the Betzenberg. Dortmund’s goals came from Bradley Fink (32′), Justin Njinmah (59′) and Immanuel Pherai (81′). Felix Götze scored the FCK consolation goal (90+3).
