Football, according to WSV coach Tyrala, serves that purpose
In the heart of Velbert, the IMS Arena played host to a thrilling local derby between SSVg Velbert and Wuppertaler SV on August 2, 2025 [1]. The match, a testament to the regional rivalry's intensity, saw both teams displaying impressive tactics and determination.
The game began with a physical demand, reflecting the strategic focus on ball possession for SSVg Velbert and quick counterattacks for Wuppertaler SV [1][5]. The coaches' preparations were evident, with Velbert's midfielders working tirelessly to disrupt WSV's rhythm, and the strikers creating several chances, albeit with finishing proving elusive [1].
On the other hand, Wuppertaler SV's defence showed remarkable resilience, containing Velbert during critical phases, while their forward line capitalized on fast breaks [1]. Key contributors from both teams included Velbert's midfielders and WSV's defence.
The match took an unexpected turn when Felix Herzenbruch of SSVg Velbert received a red card, ensuring his absence for the team's next two games [1]. The short-term absence of Dominic Duncan, considered crucial for the team's performance, was also noted [6]. However, the team adapted admirably, as seven other players were out [7].
Ismail Jaroui, Coach of SSVg Velbert, praised the fans for creating a great atmosphere, and he expressed that his team deserved the away win, acknowledging that WSV had two chances before the red card [2]. In contrast, Sebastian Tyrala, Coach of SV, commended the supporters for their unwavering support during the game [8].
The newcomers, Juraj Hartmann and Toshiaki Miyamoto, who joined the team five days ago, gave their all despite needing substitution due to cramps [3]. Their arrival, along with three other new players whose permissions came in mid-week, was crucial for the team's performance [4].
The game ended with a victory for Wuppertaler SV, and the team will now have two days off to recover from the win [9]. SSVg Velbert, however, will be looking forward to enjoying the weekend after the intense match.
