With the early 1:0 against 1. FC Saarbrücken, Marc Lorenz laid the foundation for the 4:1 victory. After the game, Münster’s captain went into raptures.

What was supposed to be a cross in the seventh minute of the game gave SC Preußen Münster an early 1-0 lead in the top match against 1. FC Saarbrücken.

What had actually happened? Marc Lorenz used his strong left foot to deliver the ball from the right side sharply in front of the visitors’ goal, without friend or foe being able to reach the leather. Even Tim Schreiber, Saarbrücken’s goalkeeper, could only look behind the ball.

As a result, the Lorenz ball flew straight into the net and turned the Prussia Stadium into a madhouse for the first time on a Sunday afternoon.

Joel Grodowski, Jano ter Horst and Malik Batmaz followed up with three more goals for Münster and the final score was a more than convincing 4:1.

The mood was completely different for the team coached by Rüdiger Ziehl, who missed their last mini-chance of promotion to the second division due to the bitter defeat at Hammer Straße.

Lorenz wants “up now”

Lorenz, who scored his third goal of the season against Saarbrücken, was less keen to talk about his can opener for the win after the leap to second place, but rather about his teammates – in the very highest terms.

“I would give my shirt off my back for this squad,” he said, praising one of the sensational teams of this year’s third division season. What particularly impressed the captain: “Chapeau, how the boys threw themselves in at the back.”

This commitment and passion even prompted the now 35-year-old to speak of great emotions. “I get goosebumps when I’m on the pitch with the team,” revealed Lorenz, who followed up with a clear message: “We’re in second place now and we want to go up. “
