Three third division teams want to get into the DFB Cup via the Westfalenpokal. All were in action on Wednesday.
They all have one goal. The 64 participants in the Westphalia Cup want to play in the DFB Cup. On Wednesday, the three third division clubs were challenged in the second round of the ongoing competition.
Arminia Bielefeld had to go to Oberliga club Victoria Clarholz. And coach Michel Kniat’s team got off to a good start with a 2-1 win. It was 1-0 after just ten minutes.
As against Viktoria Köln, the name of the goalscorer was Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee, whom the Arminen were only able to sign from Bundesliga club FC Augsburg shortly before the end of the transfer period. But the hosts didn’t give up and just before the break, Oliver Cylkowski made it 1-1. In the second half, former Schalke player Nassim Boujellab quickly calmed the pulse in Bielefeld, scoring 2-1 after 50 minutes.
Because Clarholz continued to counteract it self-sacrificingly, it remained exciting until injury time. The 2:2 didn’t want to fall anymore, so Arminia was in the round of 16.
Just like that of SC Preußen Münster: They had to play in the derby against the state league club DJK Borussia Münster. SCP trainer Sascha Hildmann brought his last two additions Benjamin Böckle and Ogechika Heil in the 5-0 win. In addition, compared to the last championship game against Waldhof Mannheim, Darius Ghindoevan, Simon Scherder and Jano ter Horst were in the starting XI.
In front of 3600 spectators, the favorite initially found it very difficult. Not much happened in the first 30 minutes, after 36 minutes Gerrit Wegkamp saved the Prussian fans from a corner with his 1-0. Shortly before the break, Andre Wooten decided the match prematurely with his 2-0. After the change, Wegkamp, Wooten and Jano ter Horst made it 5-0.
The third third division team was SC Verl, who had the difficult task ahead of them at the ambitious Oberliga club TuS Bövinghausen. Bövinghausen is aggressively dealing with the desire to move up to the regional league. So the SC Verl was warned. And he took the job seriously. The reward: Goals from Maximilian Wolfram and Lars Lokotsch made it 2-0 after just twelve minutes – Verl managed the result to the end.
