Mid-term conclusion:
After 45 uneventful minutes, Zwickau and Berlin go into the dressing room with the score at 0-0! Both teams notice the pressure in the relegation battle. The players tense up in front of both sixteen as soon as they approach the goal. So does Pinckert, who can actually mark the 1-0 for Viktoria in the ninth minute from a promising position, but fails on his own. Zwickau only had a first goal approach shortly before half-time: Nkansah heads just wide after a Göbel cross. Hopefully the game will be more attractive from a sporting point of view and will offer more highlights. See you soon!

Yellow card for Dominic Baumann (FSV Zwickau)
With a cross into the FSV penalty area, Baumann uses his elbow too violently against Kapp.

19:46
Due to Julian Krahl’s short break in treatment, there is still a little overtime.

Official injury time (minutes): 2

19:46
Jopek lifts a corner from the left in front of the goal, where Gunte wants to extend the first post with the back of his head. But the Zwickau sparks in between and clear the ball out of the penalty area.
43
19:44
Nkansah! The following Göbel corner bounces back to the executor, who with his second cross finds Nkansah at the second post, who heads just past the left from five yards! That was the most dangerous action of the FSV so far.
42
19:43
Hilßner is cut by Kapp on the baseline to the left of the box. Now the swans have a free kick. This one falls high to the right of goal on top of Nkansah’s head, who heads Lewald and takes out a corner.
41
19:42
We’re approaching half-time and both coaches will be happy to have fifteen minutes to speak. In terms of football, this encounter has been on a very manageable level so far, which is not surprising given the table situation.
40
19:40
The free-kick position is actually very promising, but Jopek hammers the marble flat into the wall. There would have been more.
39
19:39
Yellow card for Steffen Nkansah (FSV Zwickau)
Theisen marches towards the penalty area at full speed and can only be stopped on his way by Nkansah, who tripped him 20 meters from the goal.
37
19:37
Substitute Sprint is already warming up intensively, but his services are not needed for the time being because Krahl is giving the thumbs up after the treatment.
35
19:36
Viktoria keeper Krahl apparently hurt himself in a jump without the opponent’s influence. He intercepts a cross fourteen meters in front of the goal while jumping and then gets stuck unhappily in the grass. The game is interrupted because the goalkeeper immediately gives the signal to the bank that he needs treatment.
34
19:34
Seiffert breaks through into the penalty area on the left because he skillfully wins a pressing shot against Göbel. He moves to the baseline, but then gets stuck with his cross pass to Butzen and Nkansah, who both successfully slide tackle.
32
19:32
Yellow card for Christopher Theisen (FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin)
Könnecke wants to penetrate the opposing half with the ball, but Theisen knocks him down from the side. Hussein shows yellow for the second time.
30
19:31
After a deflected Göbel cross, FSV gets a corner kick. That same Göbel hits the ball up to the penalty spot, where Nkansah climbs up, but can only pass the ball backwards. The FSV remains in possession of the ball but has to rebuild outside the penalty area.
29
19:29
Krahl defused a Göbel cross from the right in front of his own five with his fists in front of Baumann, who would have been ready.
28
19:28
FSV coach Jo Enochs notices that his team is struggling and wants to actively set accents on the sidelines. The coach is also in demand in this difficult phase of the season.
26
19:27
The Viktoria has shown the better face in this game so far. Above all defensively, the hosts know how to present themselves, they don’t allow anything at all. The FSV from Zwickau is struggling on the other side. The timid attempts to get close to the Viktoria-Tor are joined by simple play errors in midfield.
23
19:24
Viktoria often manages to get close to the FSV penalty area via the right side of Pinckert and Makreckis. But that’s where the Berliners lose their ideas and, above all, their calm. The combinations that should lead to the goal are usually too cerebral.
21
19:21
Jopek hits a free-kick from the left half-field up into the box, where Lewald heads to the ball, but is unable to press and place under pressure. Brinkies catches the leather safely.
19
19:19
Zwickau is now trying to get into the game through possession of the ball. The swans let the ball circulate in their own back four and look for ways to put Baumann and Co in the limelight.
17
19:17
Yellow card for Can Coskun (FSV Zwickau)
Coskun tests the jersey material of the FSV. He rips Pinckert down on the right in his own half and earns a deserved yellow card.
16
19:16
Hilßner wants to get the Schwanen’s sparse offensive efforts going so far, but only finds Viktoria keeper Krahl with his cross from the left halffield, who safely picks the leather. Not enough guests come forward.
14
19:15
Now Pinckert has a lot of space on the right side and runs towards the penalty area. Once there, he has an eye for the starting Makreckis, which he serves with a pass in the box on the right. There, the number seven dribbles against two opponents.
13
19:13
It’s the expected competitive game that contains few gameplay highlights. But there is no lack of intensity, especially the Berliners accept the fight and finally want to score points again in their own stadium.
11
19:11
The traveling fans from Zwickau create a good atmosphere. The singing of the accompanying Saxons is good for the otherwise empty stadium.
9
19:11
Pinckert has to make more of it! Theisen marches forward on the left in the direction of the penalty area and then throws it across to Makreckis, who cleverly lets the marble through, causing it to end up in the box on the right when Pinckert is completely free! The right winger has all the time in the world eight meters to the right of Brinkies, but shoots the keeper in the middle!

19:08
Menz comes too late in a duel against Baumann on the right sideline after the ball jumps before him. Referee Hussein gives the free kick for Zwickau. When the free-kick crossed, however, a Zwickauer was offside, which is why Viktoria got the ball.
6
19:07
Pinckert extends a high ball on his right side directly with his right foot into the path of the starting Makreckis. He runs along the line, but then finds no suitable teammate with his high cross in the direction of the second post.
4
19:05
Hilßner hits a sharp cross from the right side, halfway up to the second post, where Göbel is shot earlier and deflects the ball with a high arc into the goal.
3
19:04
Benyamina pushes through on the right against Frick and Schikora. The second gets a shot in the leg, but then Frick grabs and tears Benyamina to the ground. The Berliners execute the free kick from the half-field briefly.
2
19:03
It pops for the first time on the center line. Schikora and Theisen collide in the fight for the ball in the center circle. The Zwickauer gets the free kick, both are quickly back on their feet.

19:01
Referee Riem Hussein whistles for the match! A few spectators came to the Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark to watch this duel in the relegation battle. Zwickau plays in red, Viktoria in white.
18:44
Not versus misery might be an exaggerated description of this game, but the sporting trends of both teams have been questionable in recent weeks. Viktoria from Berlin is still waiting for the first win in the 2022 calendar year, and the Berliners have not been successful in their own stadium since October 30, 2021. After a strong start to the season, Farat Toku’s team is now teetering on relegation. A win against the direct competitor from Zwickau would be extremely important. After all, the swans are themselves in search of form. Most recently it rained four defeats in a row, which means that the view is only directed downwards. Due to the point deduction from Türkgücü Munich, the situation in the table basement is a bit confusing, but the question is: who can celebrate a small liberation today?
18:26
In the first leg there was a 1-1 draw in Zwickau, which the Berliners especially liked. Benyamina only equalized the Swans’ 1-0 lead in the last minute of regular time. At that time, the Viktoria was still brilliant as a climber and ranked second in the table. In the spring of 2022, however, the situation will look very different. Both Viktoria and FSV are in the middle of a relegation battle in the third division. Above all, the sky-blue Berliners are doomed to win in relegation place seventeen. With a win they could reduce the gap to the fifteenth Zwickau to one point. The Swans from Zwickau could move further away from the relegation zone with another catch-up game in the back hand.
18:08
In the catch-up game of the 24th matchday, the troubled teams from Berlin and Zwickau face each other this Wednesday evening. Viktoria coach Toku makes three changes this English week from the 2-0 defeat by 1860 Munich. Benyamina, Menz and Kapp slip into the starting eleven for Küc, Ezeh and the Finn Hovi. Six-goal man Falcao is still missing from Viktoria due to thigh problems. There are also three changes for the swans from Zwickau: Starke, Frick and Hilßner replace König, Reinthaler and Gómez.
