Those were hot duels in the semifinals of the MA Club Championship: FC Erding failed in the play-off, Aspis was unlucky with a penalty.

Erding– A game association will win the MA Club Championship this year.

The eFootballers from Altenerding and Langenpreising prevailed in their semi-finals and will now play the winner of the open district championships next Sunday.

In the small final, two teams, FC Erding 2 and TSV Aspis Taufkirchen, who also played a great tournament, will meet.

The excitement of the Erdinger city duel was unbeatable.

Ajdin Nienhaus raved about the duel that he had fought with Christoph Hertel from Erdingen: “There was everything you could think of as a favorite fight.

Chris was in the back and could play forward very precisely and quickly.

So I had to take it easy at the front and try to gain gaps by having the ball in the last third of the field. ”The 3: 3, for Nienhaus“ a fair result that we delivered under very bad internet conditions ”.

Just as real football sometimes suffers from poor pitch conditions, there are technical problems in eSports.

Maximilian Maier, Managing Director of MA Gold Cup, who is organizing this eFootball tournament together with the local newspaper, regrets: “You are powerless as an organizer.

It's just a living room tournament.

Actually both had a good connection, but sometimes the routers don't work together.

It's a shame, but it can't be changed. "

After the draw between Matthias Bartke and Marvin Pham, a play-off was needed.

First Hertel competed for Erding, but after a few minutes - Nienhaus was leading 1-0 - the two had to pass due to renewed problems with the Internet.

Next attempt: Nienhaus against Bartke, who held a draw until the 66th minute before Altenerdinger prevailed.

Incidentally, the games were commented on by Maier and Stefan Kattner.

They counted 180 viewers during the live broadcast, "new record", says Maier happily.

It was also exciting in the second semifinals.

First Maxi Hösl won against Emre Pehlivan 4-1.

The Langenpreisinger is a power on the defensive.

Anyway, he is playing a very strong round and has only lost two of his matches so far - one of them in the preliminary round against Pehlivan (2: 3).

Savvas Georgiadis could have brought Aspis back.

In the game against Sebastian Michel he was already 1-0 up, then conceded the equalizer and had the chance to make a decision in the final phase with a penalty.

The Taufkirchen resident opted for a Panenka lob.

but the goalkeeper could not be loaded.

Michel remained stable defensively.

The draw was enough for the final.

"I just think that our heads were maybe a bit too much," said Georgiadis.

“Even if it's just FIFA at home.

That makes you a bit nervous.

We are not disappointed.

We made it into the top four and we're proud of it.

We'll tackle it again next year. "

And what are the chances in the grand finale?

"50/50," says Hösl.

Nienhaus also has a hard time assessing his chances: “I only saw the boys a little on the live stream, but I haven't been able to play against them myself.

I'm hoping for a win against Sebastian to take the pressure off my teammate Marvin. "

Given the results so far, it could amount to a showdown against Hösl.

The Altenerdinger wants to prevent that, "because the play-offs usually make me nervous and I cannot call up my best performances".

Organizer Maier no longer wants to give a tip, but praises the fairness.

“The way the players behave towards one another is very positive.

In this respect, too, the tournament is at the highest level. "

The MA Club Championship will come to an end this Sunday.

Both games will be broadcast live again.
