FC Wegberg-Beeck after victory: a cup test in the rival stadium!

Middle Rhine League FC Wegberg-Beeck is back on the way to Bergisch Gladbach! Two and a half weeks ago, the clover leaves triumphed 3-1 in the Belkaw-Arena and brought a curse to the end-previously they had only brought one magic point in five point games. This victory was the last appearance of Gladbach's coach Mike Wunderlich, who resigned to the championship after the disappointing start. Now the next duel is coming up on Wednesday at 7 p.m., but not in the stadium, but on the neighboring artificial turf pitch because the lawn is damaged.

memories arise in this game! Last year Beeck shocked with a clear 4-0 win in the cup, and in 2019 there was a dramatic 2-1 win in injury time. The only current player who is on the pitch both back then and today is captain Yannik Lersmacher. This season, FC would like to cause a sensation again in the Middle Rhine Cup and move into the quarter -finals, as there are also financial bonuses. Coach Mike Schmalenberg plans to compete with a strongly occupied team because the cup has high priority.

Beeck's challenges and Gladbach's defeat

But the Situation with the Bergische has tightened since the last meeting! After a spectacular 4: 4 against Teutonia Weiden, the team conceded a hearty 1: 5 defeat against TuS Königsdorf under new coach Lukas Sinkiewicz on Sunday in the local arena. Now they are sitting on the last relegation zone. Beeck can be happy that you will meet this opponent while Gladbach goalkeeper Yannik Hasenbein will not play because he is locked in red. However, his representative Luis Altmayer could be used.

The other Middle Rhine Cup participants from the Erkelenzer Land is no different. Sportfreunde Uevekoven Reisen to SV Kurdistan Düren, who won the Düren district cup and therefore has home rights. Coach Daniel Marschalk sees this as a bonus game for his team. The third team from the Heinsberg district, the 1. FC Düren, will compete in the Teveren Heide Stadium and could meet Beeck if they had its own final success. The cup tournament is all about fever and thrill!
