League Play-Off

Langhögl Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Enak Hannken made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute Armin Olbrich shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Timo Luthardt saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 4th minute, Enak Hannken got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Raiko Bode's shot from long distance in the 10th minute was not bad at all, but Budissa's Timo Luthardt knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. After 11 played minutes Langhögl got a freekick which was hit by Silvester Betzmann. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Maik Jäger in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ronnie Wirtz saved Langhögl from getting behind. Maik Jäger sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Enak Hannken's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ronnie Wirtz read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 30th minute of play. 31 minutes in the game, Reinhard Lamwersiek fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Timo Luthardt having to interfere. Burkhard Wielert was extremely unlucky when he, in the 34th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If Maik Jäger had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Reinhard Lamwersiek received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Timo Luthardt tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Burkhard Wielert was the one to do the kick off. In the 54th play minute Maik Jäger came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Ronnie Wirtz. 0-1. When Burkhard Wielert came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Langhögl 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 Burkhard Wielert couldn't finish the play. Enak Hannken sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Reinhard Lamwersiek's late challenge caught a Budissa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Reinhard Lamwersiek helped the player get up and apologised. After 70 played minutes Langhögl got a freekick which was hit by Raiko Bode. Marco Prühl recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 73 played minutes Budissa got a freekick which was hit by Fabian Jenkner. In the 74th minute Burkhard Wielert shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Timo Luthardt saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Maik Jäger's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 83rdth minute, Ronnie Wirtz skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Burkhard Wielert scored 1-2 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Timo Luthardt, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Timo Luthardt showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Reinhard Lamwersiek, who was totally free with the ball in the 89th minute. Budissa's Timo Luthardt played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Reinhard Lamwersiek in the 91st minute of play. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Budissa walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
