TFC Ludwigshafen secures a strong third place in the regional league!

TFC Ludwigshafen ended the season in the 2nd Regionalliga South with an exciting 2-2 draw against Limburger HC. This game took place on the last matchday and was of great importance because with a win TFC would have had the chance to overtake third-placed TEC Darmstadt, as a defeat for the Darmstadt team would also have been necessary. Unfortunately, the game didn't go well for the Ludwigshafen team.

Turbulent opening minutes

Limburger HC caused a shock moment in the 7th minute when they took a 2-0 lead through a seven-meter penalty and a short corner. TFC coach Sebastian Minges admitted that this early deficit was well deserved. But his team's fighting spirit was unbroken. After conceding two early goals, TFC found its way into the game better and was finally able to secure the next goal in the 19th minute through Felix Martin.

In the final quarter, Johannes Berger equalized in the 49th minute. Although both teams had a few chances afterwards, the goal failed to materialize, which was mainly due to poor use of opportunities. With this draw, TFC ends the season with 20 points, which secures third place in the table. Limburger HC finished the season in fifth place with 17 points, tied with Kreuznacher HC and SC Safo Frankfurt. Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, had to accept last place with only 9 points.
