The district league promoted team creates a draw at Kirchheimer SC, and there would have been a lot more in it.
Schwaig - With a 1-1 draw, FC Schwaig returned from their national league debut at Kirchheimer SC.
With a better evaluation of the chances, a victory would even have been possible and not undeserved.
In the end, the joy outweighed the newcomers, because it became clear that you can also get points in the regional league.
Full speed and maximum concentration are required for this, and the Schwaiger threw these attributes into the balance on Saturday.
Right from the start, the hero team played courageously and showed hardly any nervousness.
Since Kirchheim was on the defensive, it was initially difficult to get into a good final position.
But then the 9th minute: Florian Fink served with a great pass into the depths Ben Held, who pulled from 14 meters.
But he aimed too precisely, so that the ball jumped from the right inner post back into the field.
We're happy to take that point with us, even if we were the better team for 90 minutes.
We had a lot of very good opportunities to get three points.
We can build on this performance.

A short time later, Kirchheim also came up with the first option.
After a quick combination via Manuel Bittlmayer and Maximilian Baitz, Fabian Löns got the shot, but narrowed it from twelve meters.
After half an hour, Schwaig had a great opportunity to take the lead.
Markus Straßer played wonderfully free Raffi Ascher, but the center forward missed the goal by a few centimeters.
The hosts did better.
On the right side, Sebastian Zielke prevailed nicely, rounded two opponents and left goalkeeper Franz Hornof with a low shot with no chance of defense (37th).
Inspired by the opening goal, Kirchheim played the last minutes before the break more forward, but Schwaig's defense kept its nerve and stood safe.
After the break, Kirchheim initially waited with the lead behind him.
Schwaig made the game and was rewarded in the 59th minute.
Daniel Stich hit a nice flying ball into the penalty area, which Kirchheim's captain Philipp Maiberger couldn't really fend off with his head.
Straßer hammered the ball from a half-right position into the mesh for goalkeeper Markus Magdolen - the first Schwaiger goal in the national league.
I am very happy about this point.
We didn't know where we were.
And even if we may have missed two points, the joy of this game clearly predominates.

Afterwards, the hero team wanted more, but they were unlucky. After a nice pass Vincent Sommer broke up, played the goalkeeper and pushed the ball flat towards the goal line. However, he hit the hoe of a defender who was standing on the goal line and was able to clear. Only ten minutes later, Ascher had a failed cross pass from Kirchheim and wanted to head him into the empty goal. But Schwaig's striker did not hit the ball properly and missed the box. But since Kirchheim did not get another hit either, because Schwaig's back team around Nils Wölken, Dani Stich, Tobi Jell and Leon Roth were secure, it remained at 1: 1.
In the first game the first point for the newcomer - the numerous Schwaiger supporters could be happy about that.
It was clear to those responsible that the intensity, the speed and also the physicality in the regional league is different from that in the district league.
And the Schwaiger Elf has to adjust to that.
It definitely worked in the first game.
Matthias Ecker was really unlucky.
The ex-Finsinger and Kirchheim defender broke his collarbone in an attempt to defend himself and the KSC will be missing six to eight weeks.
We both went to the ball in a duel and I just fell unhappy.
I heard it crack a bit and then ran my hand over the spot.
The shock came a little later when I got to the hospital.
Now I'm wearing a shoulder sling, and on Thursday morning I'll be operated on in the clinic on the right bank of the Isar.
I have to say it feels weird when the bones rub against each other like that.
