Bodenheim, Deutschland - Drama on the square: TuS Steinbach loses again!

In a gripping duel against VfB Bodenheim, promoted TuS Steinbach had to accept a bitter 1-2 defeat. The Steinbacher performed a combative performance in front of 125 spectators, but in the end they stayed without points and linger in the penultimate place in the association league. A point win was quite possible, but fate had other plans.

The Steinbacher started strongly and made it difficult for the favorite opponent. But in the 21st minute, VfB struck: Norman Loss spectacularly converted a free kick into the net - unsustainable for the Steinbach keeper Klaus Siebecker. Despite the deficit, the Steinbacher did not give up. In the second round, Felix Metzinger managed to equalize with an impressive spacer shot from 25 meters in the 62nd minute. The hope of gaining a point seemed tangible!

Herber setback in the final phase

But the joy only lasted briefly. Seven minutes before the end, when everything looked like a draw, VfB broke the Steinbach defense. David Vodi completed a precise pass from Maik Geuder and placed 2-1 for Bodenheim. Despite a solid performance, the Steinbacher stood again empty -handed. In the table, the gap to SC Hauenstein, which occupies the first non -relegation zone, is still four points. Next Saturday, the Steinbacher will have the chance to collect important points against FC Basara Mainz. Player coach Daniel Ghoul is optimistic: "We want to score points before the winter break to keep in touch."
