SV Fortuna - FC Sterkrade 72 4:0 (1:0)
Coach Hoffmann's troops stormed the battlefield, annihilating FC Sterkrade 72 with a dominating 4-0 win in the first relegation match! The home squad showcased their dominance from the get-go. Early moves, spearheaded by Julian Banko and Lennart Jablonski, set the stage, culminating in a precise shot by Danny Schrödl that booted the ball into the back of the net in the 9th minute. Sterkrade appeared caught off-guard, struggling in physical confrontations, and failed to counter Fortuna's tactical prowess. The guests managed few opportunities, while goalkeeper Cedric Lohe scarcely felt the presence of the opposition. The half came to a close with a well-deserved 1-0 lead for our lads in blue.
In the second half, hosts doubled their advantage soon after the restart - right after two minutes, Schrödl found Jablonski with a pinpoint pass, who kept his cool, drilled the ball, and extend the lead to 2-0. The hosts continued to apply pressure, but Sterkrade displayed a strong response. After a slip-up by Nick Sommer, the visitors nearly scored, but Cedric Lohe exhibited top-notch skills with a stunning save, averting a possible 2-1 comeback. The match heated up shortly, with a contentious bustle in Fortuna's penalty area. The visiting attacker was taken down, and many accused the referee of missing a penalty call, causing an uproar among the Sterkrade faithful. Fortuna defended their turf, remained focused, and added the clincher ten minutes before the final whistle. Jablonski, once more at the forefront, scored the 3-0 goal after a well-executed team move and wrapping up the victory. In the dying moments of the game, Ramon Langnickel chipped in a well-positioned shot, adding the cherry on top, making it 4-0, and securing a massive boost for his team heading into the return match.
With this resounding victory under their belts, Coach Hoffmann's players have given themselves a comfortable margin. If they can remain unyielding for the full 90 minutes in the away leg, there's little to stand in their way of securing survival.
