Preußen Münster vs. Holstein Kiel – this match will be decisive for both teams, which are stuck in the middle of the table. The Kiel team obviously wanted to take precautions.
Holstein Kiel and SC Preußen Münster are both languishing in the middle of the second division. On Friday, October 31, at 6:30 p.m., the two teams will face each other in Westphalia. According to “Bild,” a Kiel emissary was already there beforehand.
During Münster’s final training session on Thursday morning, October 30, it wasn’t just SCP fans who were present. One spectator was busily taking notes and repeatedly taking photos with his cell phone.
This was noticed, and he was approached by a Preußen employee. The man finally admitted that he was there on behalf of Kiel. “We quickly got the feeling that he was not a normal fan,” Bild quotes Preußen coach Alexander Ende as saying.
He continues: “I’ve been friends with Holstein coach Marcel Rapp for a long time. We used to play together for South Regional League club Pfullendorf, we talk on the phone a lot and always wish each other luck before important tasks. Now I have to seriously question this friendship.”
The Kiel team is coming to Münster with momentum. The Storks have pulled off a coup in the DFB Cup: Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg suffered a major embarrassment in the second round of the DFB Cup. In their own stadium, the crisis-stricken VW club lost 0-1 (0-1) to second division club Holstein Kiel. Alexander Bernhardsson scored from a penalty kick to seal a well-deserved victory for Kiel (42′). Wolfsburg’s Jenson Seelt had previously been shown a yellow-red card (36′). VfL coach Paul Simonis and the increasingly controversial sporting director Peter Christiansen are now under enormous pressure. In front of just 10,793 spectators, the relegated Bundesliga side were the better team from the start. Even before the sending-off, Holstein had three good chances to take the lead through Lasse Rosenboom (3′), John Tolkin (12′) and Adrian Kapralik (13′). Bernhardsson then scored from the penalty spot. VfL defender Konstantinos Koulierakis missed Wolfsburg’s best chance from four meters out (85′).
Now it’s off to Münster. “Kiel often adapts to its opponents, has a certain versatility and is definitely the strongest team in the league physically with many athletic, robust and fast players,” said SCP coach Ende. with dpa
