Two relegation duels were pending in the Regionalliga West. The final relegation spot is becoming more and more contested. Aachen was able to give it away for the time being.
SV Lippstadt – VfB Homberg 0: 1 (0: 1)
That came as a surprise. The bottom of the table and relegated VfB Homberg has retracted the three at SV Lippstadt. The goal of the day was scored by Yassine Bouchama after 26 minutes. For Homberg already the second three in a row after the 4-0 win at KFC Uerdingen. Two wins, both away, clean sheet. Homberg gets going a little too late.
Homberg: Gutkowski – Walker, Pfalz (90th Kurandic), Lübke, Nowitzki – Meißner, Wellers (77th Marcinek) – Talarski (90th Moustafa), Bouchama (74th Hauser), Kogel – Rau
Tore: 0:1 Bouchama (26.)
Referee: David-Markus You
The defeat could have bad consequences for SV Lippstadt, especially with a view to Aachen’s victory in Ahlen. Because the first relegation zone is only two points away, the three points against Homberg were definitely planned. Bonn, RW Oberhausen and Uerdingen are the last opponents. It is quite possible that Lippstadt will end up in a final against the other relegated team from Uerdingen on the last day of the game.
Rot Weiss Ahlen – Alemannia Aachen 0:2 (0:0)
Liberation for Alemannia Aachen. Although the Kaiserstadters would have already jumped from the relegation zone with a draw, the threesome at the Werse lets the whole of Aachen breathe deeply. Because a victory at RWA is by no means a matter of course, the team of coach Andreas Zimmermann is playing a remarkable season at home.
Aachen: Mross – Held, Uzelac, Heinze, Wilton – Müller (76th tree), Bajric – Gündüz, Falaye (90th Erat), Yildiz (67th Mause) – Dahmani (85th Oeßwein)
Tore: 0:1 Dahmani (65.), 0:2 Mause (67.)
Referee: Lars Bramkamp
Yellow Red: Eickhoff (73.)
Viewers: 1201
Hamdi Dahmani and Jannik Mause, who came on as a substitute shortly before his goal, scored twice for Aachen after the break. The game was decided at the latest after yellow-red for Ahlen’s Bennet Eickhoff. The consequence of the Alemannia victory. Aachen jumps from 16th to 13th place. And curious: SV Straelen falls so shortly after the sensational cup win against MSV Duisburg to a relegation zone – due to the worse goal difference compared to Bonner SC.
In the last three matchdays, the relegation battle will still cost a lot of nerves, even if there is only one place at stake, because after Uerdingen, Lotte and Homberg, Wegberg-Beeck doesn’t seem to be able to save it either, on Saturday relegation can be certain if there isn’t one on Friday Give victory at RWE.
