Crefeld Coach Andrè Schiefer’s team scored four points in the two home games of the weekend. There was a 5: 4 win over Braunschweig. In the end it was 1-1 against Hannover 78.
(nose) The Crefeld HTC women’s hockey team was able to impress on their court in both 5: 4 (3: 2) against Eintracht Braunschweig and 1: 1 against Hannover 78 and rose to third place in the 2nd Bundesliga.
The longtime Bundesliga player scored his first goal against Eintracht Braunschweig, who relied mainly on strong returnee Emma Nolting. This time the hosts were awake from the start and Anna Küskes and Stephanie Panuschka turned the result into a well-deserved 2: 1 (23rd) with two corner goals. Before the whistle of the first half, Emma Nolting reduced the lead to 2: 3 (29 ‘), also from a corner. The third quarter remained quiet for a long time before Malikah Hamza put his team ahead with a 5: 2 brace (44th) and finally put them on the road to victory. Although Emma Nolting also scored the third and fourth goals, the points remained 5: 4 in Krefeld.
The CHTC women also gained this momentum in the match against Hannover, but the first goal came from the wrong side, as Hannover overcame Krefeld’s defense with a corner set-off. A few minutes later, Krefeld’s Lynn Krings, after a corner kick, skillfully put the ball into the goal for the 1-1 (7th minute), but the hosts remained clearly superior, but had to work hard to create scoring chances against the defensive North Germans. At the same time, some technical inaccuracies invited Hanover to counterattack, but did not complete them. A streak of four consecutive Krefeld penalty kicks was also unsuccessful, unlike the previous day. The final score of 1: 1 was received in a completely opposite way by the teams, so Hanover celebrated for the unexpected points victory, while many disappointed faces were seen on the Krefeld team.
“Yesterday we finally got off to a good start and we were very precise at the front, this time also in the corners. Today, however, we simply miss too many opportunities. We absolutely have to win the match, so the promotion train has almost left the station, “said André Schiefer after the disappointing result against Hannover.
