Shortly before the end of the first half, Luca Dürholtz gave coach Horst Steffen the lead. In the 45th minute he put the ball into the right corner from 13 meters.
But that’s not all: Luca Schnellbacher extended the lead in added time and headed SVE to make it 4-2. After an intense first half, the score was 4:2.
The second half started off a little quieter at first. In the 64th minute, however, Jannik Rochelt increased the score to 5:2 and thus made the 21st win of the season perfect for the Elversbergers.
