A close and combative victory for Borussia Neunkirchen, who was celebrated against SV Prussia Merchweiler last Saturday.

The second half was characterized by intensive efforts by both teams. The Borussians tried to restore the old distance as quickly as possible, while the Prussians took more risk after the connection goal and created more opportunities. Borussen keeper Maximilian Strack in particular earned praise for several strong parades that prevented the equalization.

Although Borussia played confidently in the first half, the game became quite exciting in the second half. Dominik Cullmann, one of the most active players on the square, later had to get off the field, which brought further security. Coach Jörg Backes was relieved after the game, but also a little worried about the awarded opportunities in the first half that made victory unnecessarily exciting.

coach Klos from Merchweiler saw positive approaches in the second half and was glad that his team appeared combative, even if she could ultimately not win the game. For the Borussians it was an important victory that should give confidence while looking at the next challenges in the season.

The statistics of the game speaks for itself: Borussia Neunkirchen 2, SV Prussia Merchweiler 1, with an audience of around 300 spectators. The referee of the game was Karsten Schyma.
