Ludwigshafen narrowly wins: Freinsheim misses an important point!
FC Freinsheim suffered a narrow defeat in the district league last Sunday. SV Südwest Ludwigshafen won the game 1-0, but coach Ediz Sari saw his team strong in the first half, while the Freinsheim team had several scoring chances throughout the game. Sari commented that a draw would have been fairer as the distribution of chances suggested so. The only goal of the game came in the 19th minute by Julien Lubin, who used a precise assist from Hergie Franck-Oliver Koloko Njampoup. Despite the early deficit, FV Freinsheim improved after half-time and had chances to equalize, especially through Lennart Lafontaine, Hannes Weibel and Schamil Kuduzov.
In the 68th minute, Matteo Gigliotti was denied by Ludwigshafen goalkeeper Marvin Bonomo, while Moussa Keita hit the crossbar in the 81st minute. So in the end it was an unfortunate 0-1 defeat for Freinsheim. After the game, Christian Schäfer, the coach of FV Freinsheim, criticized the referee's decision regarding the yellow cards, which in his opinion should have been carefully considered. Ediz Sari still highlighted his players' performance, describing it as the weakest of the season, but also saw numerous positive aspects for the coming games.
The path of the district league
The district league in which this encounter took place is part of German amateur football and is usually located at levels 7, 8 or 9 of the German football league system. It offers teams from various state associations a platform to compete at regional level. While Ludwigshafen already had a strong start to the season with an impressive 5-0 win against SV Obersülzen, Freinsheim shows that you have to be on your guard at all times in this league.
In the first game of the season, SV Südwest Ludwigshafen already demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with. In front of around 150 spectators on Mundenheimer Straße, Julien Jubin scored the opening goal in the 15th minute. Despite initial nervousness, the team dominated the game and subsequently scored four more goals - Rodney-Francis Peprah and Christian Heil were particularly outstanding. So SV Südwest goes into the next round of the Bitburg Association Cup with a strong tailwind, where FC Bienwald Kandel awaits.
