Wuppertaler SV - GFC Düren 09 2:0 (1:0)

Easy win, but unimpressive

WSV gets a ho-hum win, although they really should have pressed for a total rout of the last placed guests. A lame performance, but it keeps things OK.

WSV gained the upper hand almost immediately.David Rimbold opened the scoring in the 5th minute, as he directly volleyed a shot in off a corner kick. WSV continued to press, and Düren was without any chances. But WSV wasted some decent ones of their own, that could have ended the match right there. And in the 2nd half, WSV almost paid the price. The tail-enders realized that WSV was just going through the motions, and redoubled their efforts and pushed forward. In the 55th minute, Maly stopped a penalty kick from Schmitz. Bayertz had knocked over Heinrichs in the box. A couple of minutes later, Kohout was subbed in, and immediately made his presence felt: he tapped the ball over the line on a open goal, when Breuer could only knock down a hard shot from Ebersbach, who had turned and got off a blast from the endline. DUuml;ren continued to push forward, which gave Hyza and Ebersbach clear chances on the counters, but they wasted those as well.

For Düren, the management decided to take drastic consequences in the week following the loss. Coach Bernd Lennartz, who had brought the team from the 6th Division Landesliga, was uncerimoniously fired. He was replaced by Jörg Jung, who had resigned from Rheydt before the season started.

For WSV, this was nothing but a Pflichtsieg, and judging by their ho-hum performance, they just did enough to win and go to the pub for a cold one.
