Rot-Weiss Essen won 1-0 against Preußen Münster thanks to a goal in injury time. That’s what RWE coach Christoph Dabrowski and winning goal scorer Thomas Eisfeld had to say.

After the last-minute victory against Preußen Münster (1:0), Christoph Dabrowski could not hold back either. The Rot-Weiss Essen coach jumped in a circle with his players, exuberantly celebrating the first win of the season, which Thomas Eisfeld had secured with his goal in the fourth minute of injury time.

“The victory today feels infinitely good and is a reason to celebrate,” Dabrowski said when asked about it on Magenta Sport. “You can see what’s going on here. The joy is huge that the knot has finally broken. We want to soak up the energy and use it for our further journey.”

After two draws in a row, RWE put in a committed performance against Münster, creating numerous chances in contrast to their recent performance and engaging in an open exchange of blows with their unfancied rivals for long stretches.

“We believed until the end and played really good football on a difficult pitch,” praised Dabrowski. The 45-year-old coach had seen a “big progress” compared to the 0-0 at Viktoria Köln during the week. “The boys showed a lot of courage. I am very happy that the team rewarded itself in the end. “

Before the Niederrheinpokal match at SuS Dinslaken on Wednesday (18.30, RS-Liveticker), the Essen team can look forward to a Monday off. “We will certainly have another cold drink,” Dabrowski announced.

However, match-winner Eisfeld will probably have to pass. Because when the match-winner was asked about it on Magenta Sport, he made a surprising confession. “I had two beers yesterday,” Eisfeld revealed – at the birthday party of Kevin Stöger, whom Eisfeld still knows from their times together at VfL Bochum. “But I went to bed early,” Eisfeld assured.

In general, the 30-year-old analysed the game very matter-of-factly, considering that he had made the stadium at Hafenstraße shake just a few minutes earlier. “The goal was brutally important, and in front of our own fans. I was really pleased. “

However, he also put the ball into the Münster goal with “anger in his stomach”, said Eisfeld. He only came off the bench after having been out for the entire match against Viktoria Köln.

But the move to bring the experienced midfielder on late in the game paid off for the Essen team. Eisfeld also had to acknowledge that. “We put up a really good fight and were the better team. And the goal was a successful end. “
