Langengeisling / Forstinning - To a surprise, the footballers of FC Langengeisling were missing seven minutes on Saturday afternoon.
Then a free kick put him behind.
A counterattack followed in stoppage time.
In the end, VfB Forstinning prevailed 2-0 (0-0).
That was deserved, but also bitter for the guests who had made life difficult for the favorite for a long time.
270 spectators saw a strong duel from the district league, who made the space narrow in midfield. Forstinning tried wide balls, with which the Langengeislingers only had problems at the beginning. Felix Füchsl came to a conclusion in the penalty area, and Sven Jajcinovic was also allowed to try from 17 meters. Both are too harmless to cause problems for FCL goalkeeper Chris Brader. There was also a brief excitement when Sven Becker fell in the six-yard box, but the sovereign referee Christian Babjar allowed the game to continue.
After that, the Geislingen central defenders Michael Faltlhauser and Severin Stenzel didn't let anything go wrong, especially since Kilian Kaiser and Kilian Stenzel won the important duels in front of them. Curiously, the BFV live ticker reported a Forstinninger tour, but it didn't look like that anymore. Even less, however, after a Geislinger goal, because little happened on the offensive. Once Maxi Hintermaier prevailed, nicely cleared by Maxi Maier, but his lob missed the goal. Maxi Birnbeck had a difficult time. The passes for Langengeisling were too rare and too imprecise. Then there was excitement in the penalty area when Jajcinovic stole the ball from the FCL defense. From an acute angle he curled the ball past the far corner.
It was seen that we are not that far away.
We can already play along.
It wasn't bad defensively.
We have moved in the chains well.
It was really good against the ball, but it wasn't enough with the ball.
It wasn't imperative enough to go forward, we couldn't secure the balls.
We have already seen in rudiments that it is possible.
But we still need a little time.
Maxi Hintermaier, player-coach of FC Langengeisling
After the restart, the Forstinninger intensified their efforts.
The agile Jajcinovic tried it himself from twelve meters and shortly afterwards put the ball back from the baseline for Abdelilah Erraji, who shot over it centrally from 16 meters.
On the other side, the VfB defense was wide awake when Hannes Dornauer hit the ball on the edge of the penalty area after a cross pass from Birnbeck.
His shot was blocked.
Kilian Stenzel from 20 meters, Marcel Geigerseder with a free kick - the Geislingers approached.
But it was only really dangerous once: When Maier almost outsmarted VfB keeper Michael Hierl with his volleyball from a good 20 meters (68th).
Then the Forstinninger tried again.
Substitute Ivan Bacak should only have headed in after a true cross, but came too late.
I think we deserved to win because we made more progress over 90 minutes.
Sure, a standard situation decided, but they are also part of the game.
Langengeisling is very fit and played through his system for 90 minutes.
The team has to get even stronger to move forward.
But that's a good climber.
Some will have a hard time.
Ivica Coric, VfB Forstinning coach
From the game no goal wanted to succeed, but then Kevin Becker took the chance with a static ball. From 18 meters he hit over the wall into the right corner to make it 1-0.
The FCL pushed for the equalizer, but without coming up with chances.
The hosts used a loss of the ball in midfield for a quick counterattack, which Bakary Touray finished 2-0 (92nd).
