(kun). In the relegation round of the youth football league in Hessen, the air for the A-Juniors of Karbener SV is gradually getting thin after the 0-2 away defeat against FC Gießen last weekend. Coach Thorsten Don’s eleven have two points on the first relegation zone, which is currently occupied by SV Rot-Weiss Walldorf. Next weekend, the two table neighbors meet in a direct duel.
The Karbener B-Juniors are also still in acute danger of relegation due to the mortgage of a nine-point deficit to the saving bank. The 2-2 draw against KSV Baunatal at the weekend only helped the team coached by Richard Pohlner to a limited extent. The away game of the Karbener C-Juniors against the U14 of SV Darmstadt 98 was postponed at the request of the hosts.
A-Juniors, relegation round / FC Giessen – Karbener SV 2:0 (1:0) : »We are currently making crucial mistakes in important situations. That runs like a red thread through the past games and costs us points week after week,” said Karben’s coach Thorsten Don soberly. After a quarter of an hour, Kilian Parson punished an individual error in the guest defense with the Gießen opening goal on a difficult-to-play surface. After the change of sides, the visitors determined the game, but lacked any goal threat against the stable Gießen defensive network. Luis Götz’s goal to make it 2-0 in the 79th minute was due to a mistake in the Karben back-line. “After defeat, the air is getting thin for us. The game against Walldorf in the coming week already has the character of a final,” Don knows about the acute danger of relegation in which his team is floating.
B-Juniors, relegation round / Karbener SV – KSV Baunatal 2:2 (0:0): “The draw in no way reflects the course of the game. We were clearly the team that set the tone and should have been clearly in the lead at the break,” Karben’s assistant coach Markus Theiler struggled with the division of points. After the hosts exploited chances in the first half, Lucas Radler gave the hosts a cold shower fifteen minutes after the restart. Just three minutes later, Paul Pucher was able to equalize to make it 1-1 before Yul Dirksen turned the game around again just three pointer turns later. Farhad Haydari used the hustle and bustle in the closing stages to equalize the visitors 2-2 (69′).
C-Juniors, Group 1 / MSG Bad Vilbel – BSC Schwalbach 0:0 (0:0) : »The championship leader was surprisingly destructive. The guests acted a lot with long balls, which were easily intercepted by our central defense around Lisa Fitzner,” stated MSG coach Joschka Hobitz. “We were the game-determining team, had more ball possession and also had a little more chances. But the bottom line is that we weren’t necessarily enough in front of goal,” admitted the Bad Vilbel trainer.
Group 2, relegation round / TSV Höchst – Spvgg. 08 Bad Nauheim 1:5 (0:2): »The team showed an outstanding performance against Höchst. That was fun,” said Bad Nauheim’s assistant coach Claus Trapp after the game. “We were superior in terms of play and condition, showed nice ball relays and good standards and showed great team spirit. Despite the clear lead, we not only managed it, but continued to play offensively,” said Trapp, who was completely satisfied with the performance of the zero eights. Team leader Annika Trapp gave the guests a 1-0 lead after a quarter of an hour. Dilan Balci increased that to two just ten minutes later with a header following a corner kick from Eda Sentürk. After the break, Annika Werner (60′), Trapp (72′) and Sentürk (81′) increased the result before Celina Reitz made it better for the hosts (89′).
