Goal Festival in Cologne: Blue and White dominates despite being sent off!

Goal Festival in Cologne: Blue and White dominates despite being sent off!

What a hot football Sunday! In the district league there was a spectacle that will not be forgotten in a hurry. Blau-Weiß Köln swept Schwarz-Weiß Köln 10-1, and not without a few upsets. A total of eleven goals were scored in this happy shooting festival, and three players had to leave the field early. Ricky Fritzen, who was on the pitch for Schwarz-Weiß Köln, scored his 24th goal of the season, but also received a red card in the 27th minute, which gave the game an additional explosiveness. However, the entire Blue and White team did not let this stop them and scored goals on the running meter. Claus Paulsen was the outstanding man, hitting the mark four times (10th, 63rd, 90th+2nd, 90th+4th), while Maik Spiekermann also scored an impressive five goals (25th, 68th, 82nd, 84th, 85th).

What does the table landscape look like? Blau-Weiß Köln now has an impressive 67 points and is second in the league with the best points. This strengthens the promotion hopes, because with a win in the upcoming game against Schönenbach direct promotion to the next higher class could work. But the pressure on black and white Cologne is great; They need a win in Hopesthal to avoid relegation. In addition, an objection by SSV Jan Wellem against the game ranking in Pulheim will probably influence the outcome of the league.

The situation in the league

While Blau-Weiß Köln is in the fast lane, DJK Südwest Köln has had to make the bitter journey back to the district league after a year in the regional league. After a narrow 2:3 defeat against SpVg. Flittard, who collected 35 points with this win and moved past SV Deutz 05, the team is now under pressure. Thomas Idel gave Deutz the lead, but a 1-2 defeat against Homburg-Nümbrecht curtailed their hopes of staying in the league. Deutz urgently needs a win against DJK in their last game, coupled with the hope that Flittard doesn't win. In the event of a tie on points, Deutz's team could still ensure relegation due to the better goal difference.

Things are also looking exciting in the district league A. Turkish FC Köln and Deutz 05 II have secured the best places with 71 points each and are on course for promotion. The TFC has also extended the contract with coach Andrew Sinkala beyond the season, which makes the entire environment positive.

A look at the league system

A look at the entire German football league system shows the diverse challenges that the teams face. There are several leagues, ranging from the Bundesliga, the top division with 18 professional teams, to the district and district leagues that make up amateur football. Relegated teams from the Bundesliga and the 2nd Bundesliga are replaced by the best from the lower leagues, with the champions of the regional league championships being particularly in demand.
