Zero points after three games – Britscho: “Complete disaster”.

SG Wattenscheid 09 lost 1:2 (1:0) to ASC 09 Dortmund on the third matchday of the Oberliga Westfalen and thus remained pointless.

SG Wattenscheid 09, relegated from the Regionalliga, remains without a point in the current season of the Oberliga Westfalen. Head coach Christian Britscho’s team lost 2-1 (1-0) to ASC 09 Dortmund on the third matchday.

Although Wattenscheid coach Britscho saw an improvement in his team’s performance compared to the 1-0 defeat against Vreden last matchday, the SGW was again unable to score despite leading at half-time. Felix Casalino (44th) gave Wattenscheid the lead shortly before the change of ends.

“It was a hard-fought game, but we made many wrong decisions. The will of my boys and what they left on the pitch, on the other hand, was impressive and a good performance,” Britscho said despite the defeat.

Nevertheless, Wattenscheid’s coach is aware that the negative streak cannot be allowed to continue from the SGW’s point of view. “The boys can be proud of themselves, but we don’t have to beat around the bush, because zero points after three games is a complete disaster. We imagined it differently and now it’s about turning the so-called buck against Brünninghausen. “

We are very happy about the victory and have achieved what we set out to do.

ASC player-coach Marco Stiepermann

For ASC, led by player-coach Marco Stiepermann, Maximilian Podehl (47th) and then Lars Warschewski (90.+2) scored via direct free-kick after the change of ends for Dortmund’s second win of the season. With two wins and a draw, ASC is still unbeaten in the current season.

Stiepermann spoke of a deserved away win after the game. “We are very happy with the win and we achieved what we set out to do. Overall it was a hard fought game and I told the boys at half time that we have to keep believing in ourselves.”

Stiepermann’s half-time speech seemed to have an effect and the visitors turned the game around in the second period. After the winning goal in injury time, the Dortmunders knew no stopping. “The fact that games are decided shortly before the end is part of the game. That’s football. I think we deserved the victory.”

On the next matchday, SG Wattenscheid 09 will meet FC Brünninghausen. ASC 09 Dortmund will meet SpVgg Erkenschwick.
