Bad Kötzting celebrates derby victory in the 900th state league game!
There was an exciting derby in the Cham district today: 1. FC Bad Kötzting defeated SpVgg Lam 1-0 in a memorable game that will go down in history as the 900th meeting in the state league. Over 1,100 spectators were there live at the Roter Steg and experienced a thrilling duel between the two clubs. Christoph Schwander scored the decisive goal in the 41st minute and had the fans cheering, while Kötzting clearly dominated in the first half. Despite several wasted chances, the home team knew how to control the game.
After the half-time break, Lam got into the game better, but was unable to create any significant dangerous situations. Max Weber, the SpVgg goalkeeper, repeatedly got in Kötztinger's way with several saves. In the final phase of the game, Lam's Gschwendtner even hit the post, which didn't make the already tense situation any better for the guests. Coach Lorenz Kowalski from Lam was understandably dissatisfied with his team's performance, while Konrad Früchtl, coach of 1. FC Bad Kötzting, praised his boys' performance, especially in the first half. Referee Florian Islinger from Hainsacker had no major problems keeping the action under control.
A look at the numbers
The club histories of both teams are characterized by current highs and lows. After this win, Bad Kötzting remains unbeaten in the last six games and could now even play for second place in the league, while Lam still has to worry about staying out of the league. In another meeting in October, the result was a clear 2-0 defeat for SpVgg Lam against 1. FC Bad Kötzing, in which Quirin Huber and Maximilian Drexler scored the goals. Here too, the guests' coach, Franz Aschenbrenner, recognized Kötztinger's superiority in the second half.
Despite the tense situation in the league, the derby attracted around 800 spectators, which shows how great the fascination for football and regional rivalries is. As a result, 1. FC Bad Kötzting remains very popular not only in the league, but also among its fans. It remains exciting to see whether Kötztinger can use the momentum to further consolidate their position in the league.
The atmosphere in the stadium was electric from the first to the last minute. Such derbies show once again that local football is more than just a game, but a matter of the heart that brings communities together and inspires them.
