Madness in the U19 Bundesliga West: Rot-Weiss Essen won 2-1 (0-1) at FC Schalke 04 in the last minute on Sunday.
–
It’s already the third minute of stoppage time when the party of the U-19 footballers from Rot-Weiss Essen finally begins in the shadow of the Veltins Arena: Timur Mehmet Kesim, whom they call Memo, heads in after a corner kick from his captain Guiliano Zimmerling in this A-Junior Bundesliga game, the 2-1 (0-1) winning goal at FC Schalke 04, in which Norbert Elgert returned to the coaching bench after his corona infection.
To anticipate: This success of the red and white was anything but undeserved because they wanted it more than the royal blues. After Schalke went through in the 20th minute Sidi Sane, who had netted a cross from Luis Klein at the far post, had taken a 1-0 lead, they missed the excellent opportunity to make it 2-0 in the 29th minute. Juan Cabrera failed RWE-Keeper Dorian Drucks.
The Essen team, who had had some good moments in the first half, became even stronger after the change. And after 71 minutes, the deserved compensation came. Substitute Armen Maksutoski completed after work by Arnis Osmani.
While the offensive actions of the Elgert team were a rarity, coach Vincent Wagner’s team kept pushing and rewarded themselves with the winning goal on artificial turf pitch 6 at the Parkstadion in injury time. When this hit came, the Essenes were outnumbered. Referee Lukas Koch rated Gideon Guzy’s action against Armen Maksutoski in the 88th minute as an emergency brake and showed Schalke the red card.
