RL West: No winner in the derby between RWO and RWE

At Nachholderby on Tuesday evening, Rot-Weiss Oberhausen and Red and white food shared the points. In the end it remained a 1-1 draw between the two local rivals. RWE missed out on passing the Prussians even without scoring the Munster game, while RWO remains seven points behind the leaders.

Pierre Fassnacht had given Oberhausen the lead after 39 minutes. Before that, it actually looked more like an Essen opening goal. Simon Engelman had let an opponent out after 15 minutes, but completed it too centrally, Sandro Plechaty had failed after 22 minutes at RWO keeper Justin Heekeren and Thomas Eisfeld had headed a header after a cross from Isaiah Young from five meters wide.

Only in the second half should an Essen attack be crowned with success: Simon Engelman took a cross at full risk and put the ball in the net (54′). Four minutes later, an ex-RWE duo could have countered: Jan-Lucas Dorow’s fine pass found Sven Kreyer, but Daniel Heber blocked it at the end, allowing RWE keeper Jakob Golz to parry. In the end, however, it remained a 1-1 draw.

For Rot-Weiss Oberhausen the game continues on Friday evening with the next home game. Then the U23 from Fortuna Düsseldorf comes to the Niederrhein stadium. Rot-Weiss Essen has to deal with the next traditional club: Coach Christian Neidhart’s eleven play Alemannia Aachen in the Tivoli Stadium.
