Regionalliga Nord, Round 1:

KFC Uerdingen - Wuppertaler SV 0:3 (0:0)

Solid start to the new season

An excellent start for WSV! WSV completely outplayed hosts Uerdingen and fully deserve the victory. The cursed Oberliga banishment would quickly be forgotten as Regionalliga fussball returned.

KFC had a slight edge in the 1st half, as WSV took a cautious approach in their return to the Regionalliga. However in the 2nd half, WSV took complete control of the match, and left the Uerdingens running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

The first goal was quite pretty. Sascha Walbrohl broke through down the right flank, and lifted a high cross to the far end. There Ales Kohout leapt high at the far post and headed in nicely. 1-0 for WSV! The approximately 1,000 strong contingent of WSV fans whooped it up, and only a couple of minutes later, Markus Bayertz blasted an impressive 25 meter shot into the net. With the game now tightly under control, WSV toyed with the Krefelders, until Olli Ebersbach put away another nail in the coffin.
