A Stumble in Thuringia: Uluc's First Game Back Fails to Deliver for Jena
- Unsuccessful Uluc Round: Jena Out of Cup Competition
Here's the deal: FC Carl Zeiss Jena, previously Cup champions five years running, have taken a fall. In the Thuringia Cup semifinal, they faced ZFC Meuselwitz at home turf, and well, they bit the dust, losing 0:1 (0:0). The decisive goal, a beauty from 23 meters, was scored by none other than former Zeiss player René Eckardt, who found the top corner after 50 minutes.
You might be wondering, who's Volkan Uluc, right? Well, he's the man standing on the sidelines for Jena—he coached 'em back in the day from 2014 to 2016. This game was his comeback.
Jena struggled to adapt to the bumpy pitch and the gusty wind. The hosts, Meuselwitz, played like champs, going forward bravely, defending passionately, and earning a well-fought spot in the final. They'll be taking on FC An der Fahner Hohe, who edged out SC Heiligenstadt 5:2 in an Oberliga match.
