Fight and cramp dominate in big games

The table showed the duel between VfL Denklingen and SC Oberweikertshofen as the top game of the District League South.

The duel between the two teams with the same points did not live up to this predicate.

After all, everyone got a point.

Denklingen - The table showed the duel between the host VfL Denklingen and SC Oberweikertshofen as the top game of the District League South.

However, the duel between the two teams with the same points, taking first and second place, did not do justice to this predicate.

Technical subtleties and playful highlights were rare.

Instead, struggle and cramp dominated the 90 minutes, at the end of which there was no winner.

"Both teams had enormous respect for each other", so the assessment of VfL coach Markus Ansorge after the not very respectable 1: 1 (1: 0) -draw in front of a good 250 spectators.

Ansorge: 1: 1 in the hit "is performance-based"

"I can live with the result, and it is performance-based," said Ansorge, whose team did not find their way into the game at first. This was due to the early disturbing guests who prevented the Denklinger from building up the game with their style of play. In addition, they hardly ever got into the penalty area. So VfL striker Simon Ried tried a shot from a distance (7th). But the Oberweikertshofener hardly ever made it to those regions of the field where it could really have been dangerous for the hosts. Therefore, Max Schuch also tried his luck with a long shot (21st). Both attempts were unsuccessful. Otherwise, wide balls and numerous ball losses on both sides usually determined what happened.A few fouls and interruptions were not exactly conducive to the flow of the game. "Very disheveled," was Ansorge's apt description.

After an offside goal by the SCO, the home side were allowed to cheer. After a lob from Armin Sporer in the direction of the penalty area, the guests made a big mistake. A defender headed the ball away from his keeper in front of his nose, exactly on the foot of Simon Ried, who gratefully accepted the gift and easily made it 1-0 (37th). Nothing more happened in this weak first half.

Oberweikertshofen came out of the cabin with more momentum. Fabian Friedl shot just wide of the VfL box (49th), the substitute Marwane Gobitaka exposed in front of the goal across instead of completing the action himself (53rd). Only after an hour did the home side have another option. Adrian Anisits, however, missed his shot from 16 meters (61st). After that, the Oberweikertshofener pushed for the compensation - which should then also fall. From a suspicious position, striker Mayande Sall, who had missed a good opportunity shortly before, overcame Denklingen goalkeeper Manuel Seifert to make it 1-1 (74th).

In the final phase, Johannes Greif gave the hosts a very promising opportunity.

However, the thinker failed on the goalkeeper of the guests (84th).

On the other side, Oberweikertshofen came to a number of corner kicks, but all of them fizzled out ineffectively.

When the referee whistled it was clear: This top game had not produced a winner.

Statistics: Goals: 1-0 (37th) S. Ried, 1: 1 (74th) Sall.
