FC Einsiedeln Ends 2nd Division Campaign with 3-3 Draw in Kilchberg

Soccer: Last 2nd division game of the FCE ends 3:3 in Kilchberg

FC Einsiedeln played 3:3 in their last game in the second division in Kilchberg. Manuel Schönbächler scores twice. Borner on the final score. After 15 years, Einsiedeln will be playing in the 3rd division again next season.

The fourth relegation in the 65-year club history of the Einsiedler has its origin in a miserable preliminary round in which one had failed to react early to the decline. Even worse: The FCE descends for the second time in a row. For Kilchberg/Rüschlikon it is the return to the 3rd division after two years. As always, ups and downs in 90 minutes From Einsiedler’s point of view, the match in Kilchberg was a reflection of the second half of the season. A second half of the extreme. Play great once. Then make mistakes again that can hardly be surpassed in terms of carelessness. Or the course of the game: 2-0 for the hosts after just 20 minutes, with two goals conceded for FCE within three minutes of the game. Then before halftime the Einsiedler connection hit. Cross Michael Nützel, wonderful header from captain Manuel Schönbächler.

But ups and downs. Kilchberg/Rüschlikon scored the third goal immediately after the restart. Again the Einsiedler defense swims or sleeps. Calm. Gathering strength at half-time on this hot Sunday morning in midsummer. It’s useful: Another Einsiedler Hoch follows: Again Schönbächler with a wonderful solo and the substitute Oliver Borner help the FCE to a semi-happy end. Borner was rewarded for his tenacity in winning the ball. At least one more point. Prskalo: Most appearances and most goals Once again the team shows the ability to react when they are behind. Successful again. In the end, Einsiedeln was relegated with only 20 points from 25 games. In the end, only eight points after a miserable preliminary round were too great a burden. Einsiedeln, which was once so strong at home, occupies the second last place in the pure table for home games. And in the away games you are even last. The most notable player of the season was Marko Prskalo. Prskalo not only scored the most goals with 11 goals, but was also in action the most.

Now it’s time to relax. After the important voting date next Sunday, the Grümpi will follow a week later as the end of the season. In terms of personnel, there shouldn’t be any major changes in the team. After all, this is a positive signal. And the team has shown what great potential it has. It is now a matter of showing greater consistency.

After 15 years, FC Einsiedeln will be playing in the 3rd division again next season. The 3rd league company, where only immediate promotion can be the goal, begins at the end of August on Chil Sunday with the first round of the championship. A week earlier, on August 20th, the 2023/24 season begins with a cup round.
