Wuppertaler SV - Rheydter SV 4:0 (2:0)

Oberliga Niederrhein, GAME 9: (October 13, 2002)

WSV has easily kicks some ass.

WSV dominated this game against a hapless Rheydt squad, and were never threatened. Frank Klemmer started the game for the banned Richard Mademann, but the WSV defense didn't have much to do anyway.

Wuppertal immediately put pressure on the guests, and within 10 minutes had already created a couple of chances. Sven Steup then put in a perfect cross onto Noel Kipre's foot, and WSV were on their way after 15 minutes. Rheydt's keeper Semmler had trouble with high balls throughout the match, and could often only knock them down - creating major chaos in the Rheydt box. Unfortunately, WSV was never really able to ram one home. Near the half, Sven Steup crowned an excellent 1st half with a 25 meter dead ball free kick into the upper corner, basically deciding the game.

The 2nd half was again a one way street, with WSV pressing and creating chances. After an hour, one of the crap Rheydters, Ngonggong, got his ass red carded for a foul on Walbroehl. A couple of minutes later they were duly punished: a nice cross from Alex Kohout to Noel Kipre, who one-timed a volley into the net. Near the end, Andrija Dabovic banged in another.

Unfortunately, this smooth performance ended on a sour note. In injury time, WSV was awarded a penalty, as Jacques Goumai was chopped down. WSV keeper Nils Heese trotted up to take the penalty, which he missed. Then on the way back to his goal, he supposedly handled the ball. The ref made a crap call and red carded him. WSV argued that Heese had only chested the ball (as evidenced by video replay), and in any case, there were at least a couple of WSV defenders behind him, so it didn't merit a red card anyway. But as usual, the ref maintained his incompetance, and the card stands. So it probably means a suspension for Heese.

Overall, a fine performance by WSV, and the sparse crowd at least was treated to some decent football.
