Oberliga thriller in Lübeck: Phoenix and Kiel draw 0-0!

High tension in the Flugplatz stadium on Travemünder Allee in Lübeck: On Thursday, 1. FC Phönix Lübeck II and Holstein Kiel II played to a 0-0 draw in the soccer league. In brilliant weather, only 163 spectators came to watch the duel between the two teams, which was characterized by exciting scenes and drama on the pitch.

The focus was particularly on the 19-year-old goalkeeper Tyler Doğan from Holstein Kiel II, who demonstrated his skills on several occasions. In the 80th minute he saved a penalty shot by Vladyslav Kraiev for Kiel. This came about after Enes Rüzgar fouled Mansour Bamba, which only further fueled the heated atmosphere. Such performances make Doğan, who is 1.87 m tall, a promising talent in German football, especially after he has been part of the Kiel team since July 1, 2023 and signed a contract until June 30, 2028. Originally from Geesthacht, he brings both Turkish and German roots to the team and has already secured a permanent place in the squad.

Missing regular players

Unfortunately, Holstein Kiel II were unable to compete at full strength as four regular players were missing due to injuries or suspensions. Hamza Muqaj, Leon Parduzi, Lio Rothenhagen and Finn Wirlmann had to watch the game from the side. Despite these challenges, the team had the most accurate attack in Schleswig-Holstein's top division, but it wasn't enough to break the deadlock against Lübeck.

In contrast, Phönix Lübeck II had put together a strong team with six players from the regional league squad. The team showed fighting spirit and got the point with a solid performance over time. Referee Mirka Derlin from TSV Dahme led the game confidently and contributed to a fair game. The fans and players saw a goalless draw, but an exciting and hard-fought match that highlighted the strengths of both teams.

What's new in the league?

In terms of the league itself, the Oberliga Schleswig-Holstein has a lot to offer in terms of excitement and unpredictability. The amateur league not only attracts local talent, but also gives established players like Tyler Doğan the opportunity to showcase their skills. The next matches will show whether the Kiel team can fight back and whether Lübeck can build on the strength of the last games. It remains exciting to see how the table will develop in the coming weeks and whether the teams can increase their points account.
