“1. FC Phönix Lübeck earns dramatic 4-4 draw in Regionalliga Nord, sets up promotion opportunity for VfB Lübeck”

Lübeck – 4:4 at the airport, after a 2:0 lead and a 2:4 deficit. 1. FC Phönix Lübeck provided a Sunday spectacle in the Regionalliga Nord against Hannover 96. Saving themselves to a point also meant that the Adlerträger have rolled out the carpet for city rivals VfB Lübeck for promotion. They can already chill the champagne in the home game against Weiche Flensburg next Friday.

“Usually you still win the thing 5:4 in the end”

Phoenix Coach Oliver sang said after the important point: “This is a game to build on. It was an unbelievable display of energy and determination from our team, a game that we won after just 20 minutes and could have been even better than just 2-0. Then being down 2-4 at the break due to such oddities, those are these special games. Normally you still win the thing 5: 4 in the end, but we saved that for the next few weeks.”

“We still need five points”

But the point was particularly important because the competition in the relegation battle also took something countable with them. Up to a possible relegation place (14) there are only three points left. Zapel knows that too: “The morale is always there and we can play football. We don’t even belong in the zones we are in at the moment, so it was all the more important to take this point with us. That felt like a victory. But we have to say that we still need five points, but if we play like that then I have no worries.”

Wednesday to master candidate

Next Wednesday, the phoenix could again provide support for the green and white. It’s a catch-up game at Hamburger SV II. They’re level on points with VfB and you need the counters yourself to stay up in the league.
