SV Lippstadt completes the semi-finals of the Westphalia Cup. SC Verl now awaits.
The last participant in the Westphalia Cup semi-finals has been determined. In addition to the three third division teams Arminia Bielefeld, SC Verl and Preußen Münster, the regional league team SV Lippstadt has also qualified for the last four and can continue to dream of the DFB Cup.
The perceived final will take place in Bielefeld, where Arminia will face Münster. Lippstadt must travel to SC Verl. A difficult task, but one that is preceded by the duty in league four.
Important for Lippstadt: The 4:1 (1:0) win in front of 205 spectators against RSV Meinerzhagen, eighth in the Westfalenliga II, also gave the fourth-division club new confidence for the tough relegation battle in the regional league.
In the cup, Niek Munsters scored before the break and added a brace after the changeover, laying the foundations for what was supposed to be a quiet evening for the favorites. But just when everything looked set for a third Lippstadt goal, the underdogs scored through Lukas Finke.
How SV Lippstadt and RSV Meinerzhagen played
Lippstadt: Westphal – Fischer, Sori-Kaba, Ufuk, Örnek – Holtkamp, Klann – Lee (67. Kohl), J. Munsters, N. Munsters – Maier (67. Wagner)
Meinerzhagen: Wroblewski – Steglich (74. Kayala), Albayrak, Dissing – Germann, Gräßer, Kunkel (68. Sordi), Topatan, Akhabach (90. Becker) – Finke, Schwarzer (90. Neumann)

And now you could see that the SVL is currently not blessed with self-confidence. They even conceded 2:2, but the referee saw a foul on goalkeeper Steffen Westphal. Gerrit Kaiser then made everything clear with his brace shortly before the end.
Lippstadt continue their league campaign next Saturday (February 24, 2 p.m.) against Fortuna Köln. In the remaining 14 games, SVL must make up a five-point deficit to avoid relegation to the Oberliga Westfalen.
RSV Meinerzhagen next play at home against Hombrucher SV on Sunday (February 25, 3 p.m.).
