Cologne's Centurions experience the next debacle at 0: 68 defeat!

An extremely disappointing afternoon for the Cologne Centurions: At the first home game of the European League of Football (Elf), the team against the Raiders Tyrol had to accept a devastating defeat. With a final score of 0:68, the result reflects the dominance of the guests, who were able to pull through their game undisturbed in the southern Stadium in front of almost 800 spectators. In the first three quarters, the Raiders showed an impressive performance and especially in the second quarter they presented them properly with 24 points. Already there the away win was practically sealed, as the

The start of the game was delayed by half an hour because thunderstorms pulled across the stadium. But even after the kick -off, the Centurions could not stop the strong appearance of the Raiders. Connor Miller, Quarterback of the Tyroleans, injured himself during the game and was replaced by Adrian Platzgummer, but the dominance of the Raiders was unbroken. In total, the Broncos achieved nine touchdowns, including Tobias Bonatti and Jacorey Sullivan, as well as two fields. The Cologne offensive, on the other hand, had its problems - a total of five ball losses and numerous catastrophic mistakes shaped the game.

offensive difficulties and defensive errors

The Centurions only managed to achieve spatial profits through strong runs by Nana Adom, Tobias Reglinkrni and Maximilian Weitz. But a well thought -out game was not recognizable. The quarterbacks Jan Leuker and Keegan McCormack-Reamer made a serious passports that fell into the hands of the opponent.

a longer way to improve

Javan Lenhardt, the Centurions head coach, commented on the game and recognized that this could be a difficult season for his team. The development process requires patience and continuous improvements in all areas. The next game against the Frankfurt Galaxy will show how the Centurions can react to this bitter defeat and whether you find the necessary motivation to increase the services.

In the eleven, some teams have now played their first games, and while the Munich Ravens can cheer, the Centurions continue to feel at a low point. There should also be interest in the other teams who celebrated their start this season, including the Berlin Thunder, who have brought themselves into a better starting position with a convincing victory against the Centurions. The Raiders Tyrol also have to toast their next encounters after this impressive victory and explore their chances of a successful season. The upcoming games promise excitement, even if the centurions still have a lot of work in front of them.
