League Play-Off

Lackhove Sportpark
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, 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. Matthias Vohwinkel started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ferdinand Wilkendorf in the 3rd minute of play forced Leutersberg's goalkeeper Lorenz Roks to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Andre Himmel came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Leutersberg 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 Andre Himmel couldn't finish the play. Leutersberg's Lorenz Roks played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ferdinand Wilkendorf in the 8th minute of play. In the 9th minute, Andre Himmel 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. Lackhove FC's Graham Gahler played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Matthias Vohwinkel in the 16th minute of play. Ferdinand Wilkendorf fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lorenz Roks having to interfere. Lorenz Roks had great luck who in the 21stth minute grab hold of the ball when Ferdinand Wilkendorf from a short distance tried to put the ball inside the right post. Andre Himmel struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Graham Gahler didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Leutersberg. Andre Himmel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Graham Gahler tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jasper Keese's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Lorenz Roks firmly grabbed it by the left post. Lackhove FC's Graham Gahler played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Andre Himmel in the 45th minute of play. 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 away team seemed most concentrated when Ferdinand Wilkendorf stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Leutersberg getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Christoph-Felix Rampp hit a great ball. After having played for 65 minutes, Jasper Keese managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lackhove FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jasper Keese was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Marco Belger kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. After 70 played minutes, Lackhove FC's Marian Schuler shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lorenz Roks came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Lackhove FC reached it. Graham Gahler made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Matthias Vohwinkel in the 80th minute of play. Alf Bornscheuer kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. Matthias Vohwinkel was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 84th minute. Leutersberg's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Matthias Vohwinkel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 94th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
