MSV Duisburg’s Mega-Crisis: Zebras Lose to SC Verl Despite 2-0 Lead

2023-09-15 18:51:00

Duisburg. MSV Duisburg is in a mega-crisis. The Zebras lose against SC Verl despite a 2-0 lead. Fans whistle after the final whistle.

Totally messed up. The third division soccer team MSV Duisburg lost the groundbreaking home game against the seventh-place team SC Verl. In front of 10,447 spectators in the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena, the home team conceded the goal to make the final score 2:3 (2:1) in stoppage time Mael Corboz. The ex-Duisburg player had already scored two goals for the visitors and thus equalized Meidericher’s early 2-0 lead. Once again, MSV only showed their enthusiasm for one half. In the second half the team struggled more than they played.

The club therefore remains far down in the table. If things go badly at the weekend, there is a risk of a crash to the bottom of the table. Clear shouts of “Ziegner out” could be heard in the arena in the second half.

Difficult situations require courageous decisions. Trainer Torsten Ziegner she ventured. As in February in the 4-0 win over FSV Zwickau, the coach ordered his central defender Sebastian Mai into the attack. Marvin Knoll swept in front of his own goal together with Tobias Fleckstein, who also made his starting debut. At first it looked like someone had pressed the panic button. Wrong thought.

The emergency measure had an immediate effect. After 13 minutes, the Meiderich team led 2-0. Mai was involved in both goals. In the eighth minute, Joshua Bitter won the ball and passed it to Mai, who passed to Caspar Jander. And the newly crowned U20 national player put the ball back perfectly to Bitter. The full-back refused to be asked.

Less than five minutes later Sebastian Mai yourself the next clever attack. Again Jander knew where the ball was best kept: on Sebastian Mai’s right foot. The captain scored from 16 meters to make it 2-0. Curiously, the first real striker’s goal for the club was scored by a trained goal preventer.

The powerful beginning made an exclamation point. After the early and clear lead, the home team only allowed themselves a brief respite. After that, MSV got the rhythm of the game again. Niclas Stierlin (36th) promptly challenged the Verl keeper to a brilliant feat with a header.

Pascal Köpke previously had a great chance to make it 3-0. Köpke’s finish was far too weak to embarrass goalkeeper Luca Unbehaun. After 30 minutes, Köpke missed the next ball in a promising position. You can forgive Meidericher, he is just an offensive force. They are currently jammed. By the way: Bachirou Salou, the top striker from his Bundesliga days, celebrated his 53rd birthday in the stadium. Oh, if only they had a Salou!

Another trained goal-scoring force, Alexander Esswein, led the unpleasant part of the evening. His loss of the ball on his own 16 opened the door for the guests to score again by the ex-Duisburg player Mael Corboz (45.). The hit came out of nowhere. Verl had not created a chance until then. Verl took over after the substitution and took advantage of further sloppiness in the MSV defense through Mael Corboz (56th) to equalize. Suddenly the hosts, who had just been so confident, were in dire straits. The MSV just struggled. Substitute Hamza Anhari missed a nice shot opportunity. And then there was still cheering. Girth (90th) crossed in front of the goal. A lost leg sent the ball over the line. But rejoiced too soon. Referee Luca Jürgensen whistled for the goal to be offside. Just moments later, Corboz sent his club into total loss with his shot from a corner.
