Eintracht Northeim: KSN Cup fiasco-without points and without goals!

The KSN Cup 2025 causes excitement and a lot of interest in the region, but the expectations for Eintracht Northeim were not fulfilled. Already after the first two games in the preliminary round, the Northeimers said goodbye to the tournament.
In the opening game, Eintracht met the 1st SC Göttingen 05 and had to accept a bitter 0: 4 defeat. Coach Philipp Weißenborn was calm after the game and noticed: "A release in the preliminary round can happen." But when looking at the game it was to be seen that his team showed little emotions and resistance what the audience disappointed.

The second game against SV Alfeld followed on Tuesday, in which Northeim absolutely wanted to score. The team presented itself improved, but the countable success failed to materialize. The Northeimers had to give up with 0: 1, with ex-player Felix König scored the decisive goal for Alfeld in the final minute. In the end, Northeim remains without a point and without a goal and now has to watch the semi -finals that will be held on Friday. After the preliminary round games, Göttingen 05 is a clear favorite after also defeating Alfeld 4: 1 and brought an almost completely new eleven to the field.
