In their second test match, having already defeated SV Eintracht Mendig, the Ahrweiler BC also emerged victorious. In a 5-0 (3-0) away win against district league team SV Oberzissen, the team coached by Mike Wunderlich and Kevin-Pires Rodriquez played with structure and confidence, circulating the ball for long stretches and applying patient pressure, to which Oberzissen had few answers. Following an early own goal by the hosts, forced by a free kick taken by Ümit Kuzu (symbolic photo), came an individual effort by the conspicuous midfielder himself, ending with a precise shot into the top corner of the hosts' goal. Luca Marx followed up and scored the third goal – Nicholas Caspar had previously been denied by the SV Oberzissen goalkeeper.
The home team mostly stayed deep, missed a penalty late, and ABC defended consistently without losing their rhythm. Redon Thaqi rewarded himself after a spirited ball win with the goal to make it 4-0, before Tim Schirmer capped it off after a pass from Nam-Ju Lee. "You can feel that the team is awake, is looking for routines, and has already progressed in small details," said coach Mike Wunderlich, "we had a high intensity in the first ten days of preparation and were able to bring a lot of that onto the pitch today." For ABC, it was a useful stress test in the transition to the next training phase, confirming their ball possession security and defensive discipline. This weekend, a blitz tournament in Düsseldorf awaits with opponents from the regional and upper leagues who will challenge the team to test their build-up play and pressing behavior at a higher tempo. Another step - under competitive conditions.
