What was going on at Hafenstrasse? Rot-Weiss Essen clinched their first win of the season in a 2-1 win over Aue and the team was whistled after the 90 minutes.
Once again Simon Engelmann was a decisive factor in the game of Red and white food. The top scorer didn’t score in the first win of the season, the 2-1 win over FC Erzgebirge Aue, but he shone in both the 1-0 through Felix Bastians (23′) and the 2-1 through Jose Enrique Rios Alonso (63′). .) as template giver.
When he went to the “Magenta TV” interview after the game, loud whistles suddenly sounded from the west curve. Engelmann was surprised and said into the microphone: “We heard the whistles. Last week there was an incident on the way home from Bayreuth to Essen. That’s why we decided that we wouldn’t turn around and celebrate today.”
But the whistles got louder and louder and Engelmann, who actually wanted to be happy about the first win of the season, seemed a little perplexed. He said: “I can’t say what’s going on here either. It doesn’t have to be. We have to think about something.”
No sooner said than done: The team went into the dressing room and then came out again – and it was still celebrated.
And Engelmann was also able to make a sporting comment. “I’ve waited a long time to be able to play in the 3rd league. I always believed that I had this quality. But the most important thing was that we turned the buck and finally got a threesome,” he said Friday night and the 2-1 win in front of 16,070 spectators.
He then received praise from coach Christoph Dabrowski. The coach about Engelmann: “He is not only important as a scorer, but also as a preparer for the team. He has shown that again. He is a very important player.”
