Kassel is fighting courageously, but the derby ends bitterly with 0-1 against Frankfurt

After a turbulent last week, KSV Hessen Kassel shows when it meets FSV Frankfurt at its encounter with the fact that they can show a response to the clear defeat beforehand. In the derby, which took place on October 7, 2024, the performance of the Kasseler was significantly increased, even if the final result did not bring the hoped -for success with 0: 1. The fan curve remained without singing during the game, a sign of disappointment that no goal could be scored despite a solid team performance.

Already in the first half the change in the game of the lions could be observed. They occurred as a closed unit, with the individual improvements of some players in particular. Central defender Tyron Duah played remarkably confidently and received a lot of applause for his performance. Frederic Brill, who appeared as a six, was also a load -bearing pillar in the game and were able to strengthen the backing in the middle of the field. Niko's Zographakis, whose offensive actions caused danger, was particularly striking, but he was not lucky enough to score a goal.

unfortunate result and possible solutions

Despite the combative performance, the result left a lot to be desired. Without its own goal, the KSV ultimately only remained the second derby defeat this season. FSV Frankfurt, which plays surprisingly strong in the current season, had only a few goal opportunities. The decision finally fell after a corner that Lucas Hermes turned to 0: 1. The lions did not come back after the deficit, which causes concern to the KSV coach Alexander Kiene: "We showed more than in the previous games, but we also have to gain the last punch to secure the necessary points."

On the side of the FSV, coach Tim Görner was impressed by the grip of the Kasseler: "Kassel was brave and played strongly against us, that was a solid appearance of her team." However, this positive assessment does not come without hesitation for the KSV team, which is still lingering in a critical table. On Monday after the game, the team will have to go back to the analysis to work on the weaknesses.

The impact of this game on the self -confidence of the players could not be overlooked. Zografakis said that the team lacks a "dirty victory" to regain the necessary self -confidence. Brill added that this match was an important step back to what the team distinguishes, even if the result is not satisfactory. "We held open discussions in the cabin and have moved closer together as a team," continued Brill.

Overall, this game shows that the KSV Hessen Kassel can present some bright spots despite another defeat that vote for the upcoming games. The players and the trainer agree that it is time to draw the teachings from the previous games and to work on the implementation. "We have to learn to get the maximum out of such narrow games", plus Kiene, который finally искренне надеется на луий результат в следующем матче.
