Title: Helene Essen Secures a Spot in Kreisliga A with Overwhelming Performance
Disappointment lingered in the air as players from SG Kupferdreh-Byfang remained seated on the wet artificial turf, the Wilhelm-Haneke Stadium echoing with the dismal silence of a lost battle. A 2:1 win in the first leg seemed promising, but DKSV Helene Essen turned the tables with a decisive 5:0 victory, securing the last spot for Kreisliga A's upcoming season.
"The team finally showed its true potential," stated Helene's coach, Ferhat Dogan, after their emphatic performance. The unlucky own goal by Finn Brandenburg, assisted by Welat Er, kickstarted Helene's rally. Despite a lackluster showing from Kupferdreh-Byfang offensively, Helene maintained their dominance. A penalty, awarded due to a foul by keeper Dennis Blömer, was the prelude to a series of unfortunate events for the home team, as Er and Hasan Akyakaya scored in the dying minutes of the first half.
"It was an issue of attitude," said coach Marc Niklas Tietz, who took charge of SG Kupferdreh-Byfang just a few weeks ago. Despite the lack of a substantial comeback in the second half, Tietz chose not to place blame on his team. " Quality is apparent in our squad, and it's disappointing that we struggled this much in the season," Dogan expressed, the coach of the victorious Helene team.
The battle for an earlier league return next round is not lost for SG Kupferdreh-Byfang. "We'll surprise Essen football scene with what we've got," grinned Tietz. As for Helene, they'll happily celebrate their well-deserved promotion and prepare for the upcoming season.

In the aftermath of their relegation, SG Kupferdreh-Byfang now looks to rebuild and redeem themselves, focusing on securing a quick return to Kreisliga A for the following round.
