State league promotion holders Chlodwig Zülpich and SV Breinig were separated by a 2-2 draw overall. According to coach Dirk Ruhrig, the first 45 minutes clearly belonged to his side who deserved to be 1-0 up when Joseph Mbuyi reacted quickest with a shot after Manuel Kanou’s long-range effort. The visitors continued to dictate the action, but sloppy defending allowed TuS to equalize through Devin Nikisch just four minutes later.
“After the break, Zülpich were the better team. After the cup match on Wednesday in Weiden, we didn’t have the courage to put up a better fight, so we could live with a draw,” said coach Dirk Ruhrig. After TuS’ Marco Weinhold made it 2-1, Breinig goalkeeper Fernandao Nissen Rodriguez kept his team in the game with two good saves, allowing substitute Tom Voss to score after Leo Engel’s tap-in to make it 2-2 (70th saved).
