Match summary
As was expected, VfB dominated from the off against their sixth-tier opponents but initially lacked the necessary cutting edge up front. That all changed in the 24th minute, though, when Tiago Tomas opened the scoring.
Führich on target
Fabian Bredlow made a superb stop to prevent Peter Engelmann equalising ten minutes later, before the impressive Chris Führich put Sebastian Hoeneß’s men 2-0 up at half-time.
Goal-filled second half
Hoeneß replaced his entire team at the break, and as the match wore on, Hollenbach began to tire. VfB took full advantage, with further goals from Maximilian Mittelstädt, Jovan Milosevic and Nikolas Nartey giving them a deserved 5-0 victory.
Goals
0-1 – 24th minute: After some good build-up play from Führich, Tomas places the ball in the right-hand corner.
0-2 – 42nd minute: Führich’s low drive from 15 metres out finds the bottom left-hand corner.
0-3 – 51st minute: Mittelstädt smashes the ball into the right-hand corner from around nine metres out.
0-4 – 59th minute: Lauri Penner finds Milosevic in the penalty area, and the VfB forward needs to second invitation to make it 4-0.
