MSV Duisburg with an early double strike
MSV started the game aggressively, pressed the losers high and took control of the game early on. The reward was the early lead. Bitter and Caspar Jander teamed up through the Verl defense and in the end it was bitter when SCV keeper Luca Unbehaun beat SCV keeper Luca Unbehaun with a powerful shot.
And the people of Duisburg didn’t let off the gas. Again it was Jander who did the preparatory work for the 2-0, but this time for May. The defender had too much space in the penalty area and scored well into the bottom right corner (13′).
Surprising loser Connection hit
Verl struggled but didn’t get into the game. It was all the more surprising that the goal came shortly before the half-time whistle. Yari Otto won the ball from Alexander Esswein on the left and passed it on to Corboz, who shot straight away. Lokotsch deflected the ball decisively (45th).
The East West team carried the momentum into the second half and equalized after 56 minutes. After a lay-up by Oliver Batista Meier, Corboz was initially denied by a Duisburg defender, but headed the rebound into the bottom corner.
Corbuz scores to win
But then nothing happened for a long time. At first there were no more great chances. And when most people were already expecting a draw, Corboz struck again. After a corner, the ball landed at the feet of Verler, who got stuck again with his first attempt, but shot the second powerfully into the bottom right corner for Verler’s celebrated victory.
MSV now continues next Saturday (September 23rd, 2023, 2 p.m.) with an away game at Viktoria Köln. SC Verl hosts Borussia Dortmund II at the same time.
