Siegburger SV 04: Otto-Elf wins and cracks the 40-point mark

The Siegburger SV 04 took an important step in the Middle Rhine League with a 3-1 win in the catch-up game against Union Schafhausen and exceeded the 40-point mark. The victory brought the Siegburg closer to the second -placed Merten, which further increases the chances of climbing. However, football coach Alexander Otto was not entirely satisfied with his team's performance, because he described the game as "disappointing" and spoke of a "summer shock". He emphasized that the result was the only positive thing about the game.

The outcome of the game was also characterized by a late rearing of the Saarlanders. After Alexander Tackie Sai scored 1-0 in the first half, the game turned in the second half. Union Schafhausen achieved the equalization by Florentin Guncati, which gained the game in tension. Despite a yellow-red card for a player from Schafhausen in the 73rd minute, the host managed to continue to defend themselves against the impending defeat.

Two late goals through Waiss Ezami and Tetsuya Shiraishi made the final score and secured victory for the guests. It was particularly noteworthy that, despite the majority, the Siegburgers had difficulty keeping control of the game. However, the spectators on site, about 200 fans, ensured a lively atmosphere, and the action on the square remained exciting until the last minute.

The game revealed some defensive weaknesses in the team of Alexander Otto, which was forced to do without some regular players that day. Souheil Zeddoug, who made his debut, and Mamy Condé were part of the changes in the starting eleven. Despite the critical remarks of the coach, sports director Oliver Bonato praised the willpower of his team, which illustrated a positive reaction to the pressure of the game.

The next challenges are waiting for Siegburger SV 04. In order to underpin their ambitions for a better placement in the Middle Rhine League, they must show more consistent services in the upcoming games. The players are asked to learn from the experiences of this game in order to remain competitive in the race to continue to remain.
