League Play-Off

Hikersberg Sportpark
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nico Mörsch started the match with the kick off. 7 minutes into the match, Elixhausen's Marc Gogolok sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Karl Pautsch narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Vincent Paulmann had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kurt Rohrig recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a little luck, Elixhausen's Johannes Moser got control of the ball when Kurt Rohrig tried to sneak it across the goal line. Marc Gogolok fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karl Pautsch having to interfere. Nico Mörsch struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Karl Pautsch didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Elixhausen. Johannes Moser stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vincent Paulmann's shot from short distance in the 31st minute. Nico Mörsch fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karl Pautsch having to interfere. Vincent Paulmann received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Johannes Moser tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kurt Rohrig sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Marc Gogolok had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Karl Pautsch made an important save on a dangerous shot by Marc Gogolok in the 53rd minute. When Vincent Paulmann came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Hikersberg fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vincent Paulmann couldn't finish the play. When Marc Gogolok fell near the penalty area in the 60th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Elixhausen's protests and gave Marc Gogolok a yellow card for diving instead. Marc Gogolok hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. 62 minutes into the match, Elixhausen's goal looked a bit too open when Kurt Rohrig came free, but Johannes Moser reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Nico Mörsch sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Nico Mörsch had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Nico Mörsch hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. In the 85th minute Kurt Rohrig shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Johannes Moser saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 92nd minute, Nico Mörsch managed to get in a good position for a shot. Elixhausen's supporters rose to their feet, but Nico Mörsch was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karl Pautsch breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
