Shock in the cup game: Viktoria Goch, despite the demolition, move on to the group!

Wetten, Deutschland - A dramatic football game in Kleve ended abruptly! Referee Marvin Konopatzki had to stop the game between Union Wetten and Viktoria Goch in the second half at 0-0 after a player from Union Wetten, Jos Steeger, was seriously injured. The players were visibly shocked when the decision was made. Fortunately, Steeger has now been operated on successfully and is already at home again. But the sporting consequences are serious!

Viktoria Goch moves into the next round

In the middle of the excitement, Viktoria Goch has now reached the next round in the district cup. Jürgen van Besel, the senior chairman of Union Wetten, announced that the club waived a repeat game. "Our managing director Andre Peters informed the district soccer committee that we will forego a possible repetition game," explained Van Besel. The semi-finalists are determined: Kevelaerer SV, SGE Bedburg-Hau, DJK Twisteden, and of course Viktoria Goch. The tension remains high, because the seventh participant will be determined on December 11th!

For Union Betting, the situation is particularly bitter. Jos Steeger, a key player by the team, is expected to miss the entire season. "For us, this is a bitter blow because Jos is one of the team's absolute top performers. But of course health has priority," said van Besel. The team also has to fight eight points behind the leaders SV Veert and FC Aldekerk II. An important game against Veer is on Sunday, and players have to process the shocking events while they have to reorganize their defense at the same time. A real test stone for morality and team spirit!
