Home win missed: SG Langenhorn only fought for a draw

In a thrilling game scenario, SG Langenhorn/Enge-Sande carelessly gave up a possible victory in the last derby against SG Mitte NF. Coach Maxim Vasilenko's team led 3-0 at half-time, but could not withstand the pressure of their opponents in the second half and had to settle for a 3-3 draw.

The first 45 minutes started promisingly for the home team. In this phase, SG Langenhorn/Enge-Sande showed their skills and put the guests under pressure from the start. An own goal from Jonas Otto (28th) and goals from Jasper Prahl (43rd) and Brar Lucht (45th) seemed to almost decide the game. The coach wanted a better result in his debut, but the performance in the second half put everything into question.

U-turn in the second half

After the half-time break, however, the picture changed drastically. The SG Mitte NF appeared much more determined and put the Langenhorn defense under a lot of pressure. Substitute Justin Dapprich proved to be a key figure as he scored twice within two minutes (67th/68th) and brought the tension back into the game. Vasilenko noticed his team's carelessness and was annoyed that they were unable to capitalize on two more chances to score in the final stages. “We should have closed the bag,” he expressed his displeasure about the missed opportunities.

In stoppage time, the guests punished Langenhorner's shortcomings when Kevin Jensen equalized and secured his team the point they deserved. The return of Mitte NF to the game was a clear sign of the strengths and tenacity of the opposing team, which did not give up after being 3-0 down.

Outlook for the upcoming derby

The fans hope that their team will learn from the mistakes of the last game and keep their performance consistent throughout the entire 90 minutes so that they don't gild another home game as lightly as was the case recently. This will be particularly important to improve the position in the table and collect more points in upcoming games.

The SG's second team, however, had less reason to be happy as they lost 5-1 in their derby against Blau Weiß Löwenstedt and slipped to 8th place in the table.
