Red and white food

After the cup game is before the third division duel. Rot-Weiss Essen will face the leaders of the 3rd league, Dynamo Dresden, on Sunday (1.30 p.m.).

Rot-Weiss Essen’s Lower Rhine Cup game against Oberliga side SC St. Tönis was the last duel for RWE in September. This month ended with a sense of achievement: the defending champions did not show any weakness at the bottom of the Lower Rhine relay and won comfortably with 5:0 (3:0).

After a free Thursday, the RWE players will train on Friday and Saturday at 10.30 a.m. before front-runners Dynamo Dresden travel to Hafenstrasse on Sunday (October 1st, 1.30 p.m., RevierSport live ticker). All home tickets for this duel are already sold out, so there will be a sold-out stadium on Hafenstrasse.

Immediately after the Dresden game, the second English week in a row for head coach Christoph Dabrowski’s team starts on Wednesday (October 4th, 7 p.m.), with the away game at SpVgg Unterhaching. The promoted team started the season strongly, but then suffered their first defeat since the end of May on the last matchday against Arminia Bielefeld (1:2).

But first things first: The meeting with promotion contender Dynamo Dresden will round off the first English week on Sunday.

A highly intense, emotional game awaits us. That’s why it was all the more important that we moved confidently into the next round of the cup on Wednesday and took the next step

Christoph Dabrowski.

RWE coach Dabrowski is full of anticipation: “A highly intense, emotional game awaits us. That’s why it was all the more important that we moved confidently into the next round of the cup on Wednesday and took the next step.”

In front of a crowded harbor street, the 45-year-old will again be able to rely on the services of Vinko Sapina, who was only there in civilian clothes on Wednesday evening. Sapina, who had struggled with slight muscle problems in the previous weeks, trained individually with assistant coach Paul Freier in the morning and was taken out of the cup game – also to give Björn Rother 90 minutes of playing time.

In addition to the long-term injured Thomas Eisfeld, Ekin Celebi and Nils Kaiser, Jakob Golz and Moussa Doumbouya were also missing from the squad. The reason: The duo had the flu and were not used in St. Tönis for safety reasons.

Rot-Weiss Essen traveled to Ulm confidently, but came back disillusioned. Because RWE deservedly lost 1:2.

Rot-Weiss Essen had a difficult task in the 3rd league against the previously strong newcomers SSV Ulm 1846. They have won 20 of the last 29 home games and have not had a defeat at home since March.

And RWE couldn’t worsen this record at 1:2 (0:1). Before the game, RWE coach Christoph Dabrowski made a change. Attacker Moussa Doumbouya slipped back into the starting line-up for Ron Berlinski. Captain Felix Bastians, who is healthy again, initially had to sit on the bench.

Dabrowski explained before kick-off: “I can fully identify with the way we have performed so far. But we need more efficiency in order to increase the yield.”

In Ulm we didn’t see any of this in the first 45 minutes. Nothing was moving forward at RWE. SSV Ulm 1846 showed how it’s done. The promoted team acted aggressively and purposefully before the break. The reward: 1-0 by Dennis Chessa. Essen’s first goal conceded after 542 minutes. After a foul by Vinko Sapina, there was a free kick that Chessa sank, but the Essen team’s deflection was unfortunate.

That didn’t change the fact that the lead that lasted at half-time was completely fine. Ulm was better and could have scored more goals. Ulm’s goalkeeper Christian Orta, on the other hand, never had to seriously intervene.

SSV Ulm: Ortag – Gaal, Reichert, Geyer – Allgeier, Ahrend (72. Jann), Brandt (84. Higl), – Rösch, Chessa (93. Yarbrough), Scienza (84. Ludwig) – Röser (72. Maier)

RWE: Golz – Wiegel (69. Vonic), Ríos Alonso, Götze, Brumme (69. Bastians) – Sapina, Harenbrock – Young (83. Voufack), Müsel, Obuz – Doumbouya (69. Berlinski)

Tore: 1:0 Chessa (19.). 2:0 Chessa (80.), 2:1 Sapina (86.)

Referee: Marc Philip Eckermann

After the change, RWE tried to show a different face. Because there was hardly anything going on in terms of play, standards had to be used. But overall they were completely weak.

Ulm withdrew more and more as the second half progressed, and RWE could hardly do anything with the following possession. The supposed decision came after Essen’s first good chance. Torben Müsel missed from 15 meters, but Chessa was there again in return.

But RWE didn’t give up and was rewarded. Shortly before the end, it was Vinko Sapina who scored from a distance to make it 1-2. But it shouldn’t be enough anymore. An equalizer would not have been deserved, Ulm were the deserved winners.

The reward for the next home win: Ulm climbed to second place, while RWE was brought back down to earth after their second defeat of the season.

RWE continues next Sunday (October 1st, 1:30 p.m.) against Dynamo Dresden. Ulm has to go to FC Ingolstadt on Saturday (September 30th, 2 p.m.).

Rot-Weiss Essen has established itself in the top half of the table after six match days. RWE can currently be satisfied with the development of the team.

Christoph Dabrowski, head coach of Rot-Weiss Essen, announced good news from the RWE hospital on Friday.

The top performers Andreas Wiegel and Vinko Sapina, who both struggled with muscle problems during the training week, reported fit in time before the home game against SSV Jahn Regensburg and were able to play from the start.

Compared to the 2-0 away win at SC Freiburg’s U23s before the international break, Dabrowski made two changes to his starting lineup. Marvin Obuz moved to the left side in place of the injured Thomas Eisfeld and Ron Berlinski was preferred to Moussa Doumbouya in the center of the attack.

Although RWE subsequently failed to score in the 0-0 draw against Regensburg, the decisions were right. Obuz played his best game in the Essen jersey and was a constant asset and Berlinski also showed a good performance – although he did not score the first goal of the season he had hoped for.

In the center of midfield, Dabrowski chose an offensive approach – as he did against Münster and in Freiburg – and fielded three strong players in Vinko Sapina, Torben Müsel and Cedric Harenbrock. The Essen football teacher did without a classic clearer like Björn Rother and, with this courageous approach, set a clear course of action – and an offensive one at that.

It was the right decision. RWE has rarely played as well in recent months or even years as it did in this first round. Lots of ball possession, lots of dominance and good combinations.

The three of us in midfield are already playing with each other a bit and know what makes each other tick. I think we are already relatively well coordinated.

Torben Müsel.

When asked by RevierSport, midfielder Müsel praised the interaction with his teammates: “The three of us in midfield already play with each other a bit and know what makes each other tick. I think we’re relatively well coordinated. We know what ours are movements and whether the person next to you would rather have the ball in their feet or in their path.”

So the plan worked, but what was missing was the return. Although Essen had a clear increase in chances, there were not enough clear opportunities for the dominant style of play. A chance to do better in the attacking third comes next Sunday (September 24th, 1:30 p.m.) with the away game against strong newcomers SSV Ulm.
