Rot-Weiß Oberhausen pick up another point at the end of the season. Aachen beat Velbert in the Oberliga and six goals were scored in the Bocholt game.

Season finale in the Regionalliga West – although the 34th matchday of this 2023/24 season did not really deserve this title. All the decisions had actually already been made ahead of time, with only one long-distance duel bringing minimal suspense.

FC Schalke 04 II had already kicked things off on Thursday evening, sending relegated Rot Weiss Ahlen to the bottom of the table with a 4-0 win.

On Saturday, SV Lippstadt and SSVg Velbert were still in contention for 15th place, which could be enough to keep them in the league if, for example, KFC Uerdingen, who are currently on course for promotion in the Oberliga Niederrhein, have license problems.

SVL had to play at SC Wiedenbrück, who bid farewell to their successful coach Daniel Brinkmann. The team from Lippstadt picked up a point in a 1-1 draw and had to hope that the leaders from the imperial city would come back. As SSVg lost 2-0 to Thilo Töpken’s brace and champions Alemannia Aachen at the Tivoli at the same time, Lippstadt can still hope, while Velbert can plan for the Oberliga

FC Wegberg-Beeck also bowed out of the league against FC Gütersloh (1:2), while Rot-Weiß Oberhausen salvaged a point at SC Paderborn II thanks to a late goal from Sven Kreyer (90.+1).

Simon Engelmann scored to give SV Rödinghausen a 1-0 win over Fortuna Köln, while 1. FC Bocholt scored in the highest-scoring game of the day at Borussia Mönchengladbach II, which ended 3-3.

Saturday opened with the match between 1. FC Köln II and Fortuna Düsseldorf II, where Adam Bodzek ended his career. Not a successful farewell: the game was over early for him due to injury, and the Effzeh won 3:2 in stoppage time
