1:0 against MSV Duisburg
VfL Osnabrück won the season opening game of the 3rd division. With a spectacular long-range shot by Sven Köhler in the 83rd minute, the promotion candidate defeated MSV Duisburg 1-0 (0-0) on Friday evening. The success was deserved because the clearly superior Osnabrück team had already created several good chances in front of 14,256 fans at the Bremen Bridge.
Robert Tesche, who was signed by Bundesliga club VfL Bochum, missed the best of them in the 59th minute. The 35-year-old hit the post from close range. An overhead kick goal from Ba-Muaka Simakala was disallowed for offside (17′). Duisburg’s best player was their new goalkeeper Vincent Müller, who came from Dutch Cup winners PSV Eindhoven in the summer.
