The FC Hitzkirch missed the connection to the top

Third division team Horw defeated Hitzkirch 5-2. Both teams are on track to achieve their goals.

“If you don’t fight for more than 90 minutes and have the last will and bite you need, you can’t score in the third division. There was simply no conviction that we could get something here, ”said Hitzkirch’s coach Markus Winiger (54), disappointed after the 2-5 defeat in Horw. The first half was insufficient, after the break the Seetaler were a little bit more biting. But it was not enough to turn the game around, because the mortgage at break (0: 4) was too high. “Horw’s victory is okay, they were hungry for victory and got the bruises it needed,” said Winiger as a fair loser.

Of course, it was annoying for him to realize that they were missing a great opportunity in the fight for a top four place. Winiger continues: «If we had won we would have made contact with the top of the table again. We’re in the middle of the field now, so at least I want to stay there. Maybe make up one or the other rank. “

Hitzkirch offspring flourish

Hitzkirch currently has a very young team (average age: 21 years). The majority of the players come from their own youth department. “The team has development potential and when I see how many players keep making the leap into the top leagues and playing in Hochdorf or Eschenbach, for example, it also shows me that we are doing a good job in Hitzkirch, even with the youngsters at the grassroots level.” One of the very young players is the Hitzkirch striker Fabian Amhof (18), himself a goalscorer in Horw at 2: 5 and an FCH home grown. «A top 5 placement is definitely possible. The quality in the team is there, but we just have to work on consistency. We’re not yet able to deliver a solid performance over 90 minutes. We were able to keep up in Horw for half an hour, then we broke in completely. We conceded four goals in eleven minutes, that just can’t happen to us. ”

On Saturday, the surprisingly strong Erstfeld (3rd place; 20 points) comes to the Seetal for the preliminary round. Amhof: “We have to show a reaction. We have to forget the defeat in Horw with a good performance against the Uri. ” Perhaps Winiger can then fall back on one or the other important player who was still missing in Horw due to injury.

Horw has a couple of draws too many

FC Horw, which is above expectations with 17 points, can continue the season in peace. Horw coach Roberto Ordonez (49) recently spoke of a gap year without any ambitions for promotion games. Striker and Captain Timo Schmid (30): “We’re on track, but if I look at our record with five draws, we should have more points. We are outsiders in Group 2 and want to annoy the big ones. A role that suits us. ”

Who knows, maybe Horw will lift himself to the top in the course of this championship, because the unbeaten series has already lasted four game days. Leader Rothenburg is now waiting at the end of the preliminary round. Schmid: “We can only win and we have no pressure, a surprise is possible. We’re hot on the top of the table, nobody has to motivate us. “
