With a few returners in the VfB squad, the game in Munich was played on a narrow artificial turf pitch in midsummer temperatures. The criticism from player-coach Julian Scholl was limited: “The conditions were difficult for both teams and the game didn’t deserve a winner. After the unlucky deficit (70th) we were equalized by Nikola Capin (88th). Rewarded late for our superiority. “
The first half went without any major chances on either side. After the change of sides, the advantages lay with the guest from Eichsttt. Bastian Bsl failed after a great solo run against Haide goalkeeper Lukas Plo. When a concealed shot from Philipp Lechner was unlucky enough to be deflected, the hosts took the lead 1-0 after 70 minutes of play.
VfB reacted and brought three fresh players onto the field with Valentin Eichlinger, Maximilian Eberlein and Elyas Hanaoui. The guests from Eichsttt now set the hosts in their own half, but a shot from Hanaoui was just cleared on the goal line. With Niklas Capin, Scholl drew his last joker in the 84th minute – and this stabbed in the 88th minute. After a corner, Capin rose the highest and the ball struck unsustainable for keeper Plo in the corner to the deserved 1: 1 final score.
VfB Eichsttt II: Drfler, Matzel (84th Capin), Nuber (72nd Eichlinger), Schneider (72nd Eberlein), Scholl, Bsl, Luff (77th Hanaoui), Arsenic, Laumeyer, Walter, Roth. Tore: 1:0 Lechner (70.), 1:1 Capin (88.). sfj
