Fortuna Köln conceded their first defeat in the fourth match of the season. The disappointment was great.
Fortuna Köln had to give up their place in the sun in the Regionalliga West to Wuppertaler SV. After three victories at the start of the season, the Cathedral City team suffered a defeat in game four. Fortuna lost 0:1 against SC Wiedenbrück.
The scoring of the Wiedenbrück winner by Emre Aydinel (80th) annoyed Cologne coach Markus von Ahlen. His words went in the direction of Marvin Mika.
“That must not happen to us. After the substitution of Dominik Ernst, he was called up for it. The striker can always speculate and risk a bit more. Finn Bauens does it very well afterwards, he pushes the opponent to the outside, yet Aydinel finds the gap,” said the Fortuna coach about the decisive goal.
Yet the Cologne game did not look bad at all. On the contrary, as von Ahlen said: “We were in the game right from the start, won the balls early on and went forward intensively. We weren’t precise enough in the final third. But you also have to recognise that Wiedenbrück defended very passionately. In the end, goals are decisive.”
Meanwhile, guest coach Dennis Brinkmann was naturally delighted after the second win of the season. Wiedenbrück had already beaten Rot-Weiß Oberhausen (1:0), a top team in the Regionalliga West. Brinkmann: “We managed to concede very little. We had a very young defensive chain today. In the second half, there were one or two counterattack situations where we could have done more. We had discussed the situation leading to the goal in advance, and then we implemented it superbly. I am very happy with our attitude, discipline and mentality.”
