League Play-Off

Starsiedel 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. Fabian Pier started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Dyksterhus FC booed when Starsiedel was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Oswald Widmann didn't get a good kick on the ball. Willi Bähner was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 5th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Demetrius Struzyna took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Benjamin Sanger, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 15 minutes, Benjamin Krupp mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Dyksterhus FC and the Starsiedel players grew even worse after the yellow card. Benjamin Krupp kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. Davon Broich kicked a quick shot right in front of the goal in the 16thth minute. Though ot was a great shot Dyksterhus FC's keeper Matthias Köstner was sill able to block leaving the score board unchanged. When Benjamin Krupp was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 17 minutes had been played. After a defensive mix-up in Dyksterhus FC's zone, Davon Broich stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Matthias Köstner came out of the goal and Davon Broich tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Matthias Köstner made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Efraim Schäuble in the 30th minute of play. After 42 played minutes Starsiedel got a freekick which was hit by Jules Unger. Starsiedel's Demetrius Struzyna played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Willi Bähner in the 43rd minute of play. Thomas Thier fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Demetrius Struzyna having to interfere. Innozenz Frenzle kicked well hit freekick during the 46th minute of the match. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Efraim Schäuble to make the kick off. Matthias Köstner made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Davon Broich in the 55th minute of play. In the 58th minute, one of Starsiedel:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Starsiedel. Starsiedel's defense didn't have a chance, in the 69th minute, when Fabian Pier scored to the left of an out of position Demetrius Struzyna, making the score, 0-3. A collision led to Dyksterhus FC getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Klaus Grempels hit a great ball. Davon Broich sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Dyksterhus FC's Matthias Köstner played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Efraim Schäuble in the 81st minute of play. When Starsiedel's Efraim Schäuble in the 82nd minute got a chance for a shot 82nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Dyksterhus FC's goalie prevented a goal. If Davon Broich had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 97 minutes into the match, Starsiedel's Efraim Schäuble sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Matthias Köstner narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The Dyksterhus FC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
