An overview of the figures for the first half of the season

Catch-up games

Some matches have to be made up. Matchday 19, for example, could not take place for the most part. The dates are still pending.

Goalscorers

Together with Kevin Goden from 1.FC Düren, Justin Diehl leads the list of top scorers in the Regionalliga West. With 12 goals, the young striker from 1.FC Köln, who is probably flirting with a move, is responsible for almost a third of Cologne’s goals (38). However, Diehl needed 19 games for his 12 goals. Goden scored his 12 goals in just 16 games.

Moritz Stoppelkamp (Rot-Weiß Oberhausen) and Charlison Benschop (Wuppertaler SV) are both lurking behind the top scorers. The veterans each scored ten goals for their clubs.

The goalkeepers had to make a total of 499 saves.

Spectators

Alemannia Aachen are way ahead in terms of spectators. The average attendance at the Tivoli was 15,278. RWO came second, with 3,402 spectators, just ahead of Wuppertaler SV (3,330). The leaders in the official match table, 1.FC Bocholt, are in fifth place with an average of 2,040 spectators.

Not surprisingly, Borussia Mönchengladbach II (506 spectators per home game), FC Wegberg-Beeck (449 spectators per home game) and FC Schalke 04 II (356 spectators per home game) are in the last three places.

In total, 329,119 spectators have come to the stadiums so far. That makes an average of 2,096.
