Crisis in Mannheim: SV Waldhof fails Blamabel in the state cup
Last Friday, the 3rd league experienced an unexpected excitement, while most teams went to rest mode. The SV Waldhof Mannheim, which recently started with a miserable record of one point from four games in the league, experienced a disastrous event in the national cup.
The Mannheimers, who presented themselves as favorites in the duel against the seventh -class VfR Gommersdorf, had to accept a bitter defeat in the end. After 90 minutes it was 0-1 and the embarrassment was perfect. Marco Antwerp, the trainer, was faced with a team that, despite clear playful superiority, was unable to use his chances. Instead, the victory for VfR Gommersdorf would have made it possible by Jan Reuther, who hit the upper corner with a fantastic shot five minutes after half -time
missed opportunities and offside goal
The team from Mannheim then continued to compensate for the equalization, but their possibilities remained unused. In injury time it seemed as if Kelvin Arase could achieve the longed -for balance, but the goal was not recognized due to an offside position. The Mannheimers had to accept these bitter pill in front of their disappointed followers, while the emergency in the club continues to worsen. Incidentally, the Kurpfälzer is already leaving in the quarter -finals of the state cup for the third time in a row.
In view of this situation, the question is justified how long the pressure on coach Antwerp and his team will grow and whether it could have possible consequences for the season. The fans and the club management are increasingly concerned about the long -term performance of SV Waldhof Mannheim.more results from the 3. League
Another team that experienced the evening on the hard tour was SV Wehen Wiesbaden. They had to deal with the second division club SV Elversberg and lost 1: 5. Although Wehen Wiesbaden mainly started players who had received fewer seasons this season, the defeat for the team was clear. The goals of Lukas Petkov, Filimon Gerezgiher and twice from Muhammed Damar caused clear conditions at half -time. Moritz Flotho scored the only goal for Wiesbaden in the second half, but this did not change the clear defeat.
The events of Fridays take a light on the challenges that some teams of the 3rd league currently have to master. While the clubs are in the second half of the season, it remains to be seen how they are reacting and whether the performance curves will change. Yesterday's results condense the already noticeable tension and uncertainty in the third division and impressively document the ups and downs of professional football.
