The journey of SV Rot-Weiss Merl ends in the semifinals of the FVM Cup

In the semifinals of the FVM Cup, the women from Merl faced the women of the Cologne Sports University, who play two classes higher. The class difference alone meant that the roles were clearly distributed. But already in the previous rounds of the Cup, the Merlerinnen have provided one or the other surprise and so they also wanted to provide against the Cologne for an entertaining Cup game.

The women from Merl wore red - the CURENTIS AG jerseys were to provide the necessary luck in this cup match as well.

The preliminary decision was already made in the first half

The cup game was characterized by a lot of speed and Merl managed to provide relief again and again, but the attacks did not result in a goal. In the 24th minute, the first goal was scored - for the women of the Cologne Sports University. These played a counterattack concentrated to the end and shot so the 0:1.

However, even after the deficit, the girls from Merl were eager to equalize, but this was not to succeed. With the half-time whistle, the Merlerinnen had to accept the 0:2 after a corner.

Full risk in the second run

Due to the poor starting position, the women of SV Rot-Weiss Merl had no choice but to play more offensively and thus offer the Cologne women more space. Although the Merlerinnen came again and again dangerously before the goal of the sports university Cologne, but the goalkeeper from Cologne could show their class in various scenes.

As already feared, the Cologne women exploited the spaces in the second half and countered the women of SV Rot-Weiss Merl again and again, so that in the end a score of 0:5 was determined.

Pride prevails after defeat

In the end, it can be said that Sporthochschule Köln deserved to enter the cup final. The individual class, as well as the high speed of the Cologne women leaves no doubt about the qualities of the team and the well-deserved victory.

Nevertheless, CURENTIS AG is proud of the entire season of the Merler women. The women gave their best and provided an entertaining cup competition. We hope for similarly exciting games in the coming season!
