FSV Duisburg II caused a sensation in Kreisliga C, defeating VfB Obermarxloh 9er 19-6 (13-1). Striker Bulut Aksoy contributed eight goals.
On the 10th match day of Kreisliga C Group 3, FSV Duisburg II won 19-6 (13-1) against VfB Obermarxloh 9er. FSV striker Bulut Aksoy scored eight goals.
It wasn’t just the result that was unusual: the addition of “9er” to the visitors’ name meant that players and spectators alike witnessed an unfamiliar game. Both teams were only allowed to field nine players each.
“You never really stop learning,” said eight-goal scorer Aksoy with a smile. “It was a 9-a-side team, so we also had to play with nine players. I didn’t know about this beforehand and first asked the league director how exactly it would work and whether any changes would have to be made to the pitch.”
In the end, however, the game took place as usual on the artificial turf pitch at the FSV Duisburg facility. Despite the unfamiliar situation, the home team never left any doubt as to who would leave the pitch as winners after the final whistle. “It was obviously very unusual for us, especially in terms of positioning,” explained the striker, whose uncle Nihat Aksoy is his coach in FSV Duisburg’s second team. “Hats off to the guys from Obermarxloh for staying on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes.”
The 1.92-meter-tall center forward, who played for KSV Hessen Kassel and Borussia Mönchengladbach II in the then third-division Regionalliga Nord and Süd leagues during his career, went on to explain that the score could have been even higher if his team had “played it down sensibly.” The 37-year-old was also annoyed by the six goals conceded: “It’s not that I begrudge our opponents their goals, but at the end of the day, that’s not our level.”
With their highest win of the season so far, FSV Duisburg II consolidated their strong position in fourth place in the table and now have a goal difference of 80:26. The FSV had already won 12-0 at Post Siegfried Hamborn II on the previous match day. But anyone who thinks that this was also the biggest defeat of the season for the team from Obermarxloh is mistaken. On the third match day, VfB Obermarxloh’s 9-a-side team lost 0-25 to TuRa 88 Duisburg. VfB is currently second from bottom in the table and has conceded the most goals in the league with a goal difference of 16:111. MTV Union Hamborn III, bottom of the table, is only slightly behind in this statistic. With a goal difference of 9:104, Union also exceeded the 100-goal mark on the last match day with a 0:9 defeat against DJK Lösort Meiderich II.
