First Division
The opening match is between SV Rosenville and SSV Gevla 1907, and thus cannot nominally hold a greater difference, yet there is a certain logic to be recognized behind it. The champion of the second league meets the Loewenburg champion – thus the championship duel can commence! 23,000 spectators in the sold-out Rosenviller Stadium of the Rosenarena witness a true home spectacle – the “Dornenkurve” can erupt as a 2-to-1 home victory is secured. In the last minute, a spectacular curling shot decides the game! 3,000 traveling away fans leave the stadium. Unbelievable!
Another traditional duel awaits in the next game, as Legio Loewenburg and FC Wohia Kickers face off after two years of opening matches on the first matchday. This time, Legio wins 2-0, which greatly pleases the traveling fans. From the rest of the matchday, it is evident that the former second-league teams have had quite a good start to the season. On 1st, 5th, 6th, and 7th place are Eintracht Alterwar, Haschborg 04, Neustadt, and Rosenville. The Loewenburg teams from the capital have also had a great start, with Legio and the King’s Team sharing 1st place. SSV Gevla quickly balanced out the error from the first matchday with a 1:0 win at Wohia Kickers, meaning the latter have indeed had a very poor season start.
Rosenville wins again, 1:0 against Feuerbrandt. The euphoria around Legio fades after a 2-4 loss to Haschborg, leaving Legio fans once again facing an unpredictable season. The King’s Team also faces its first defeat against SK Sturm Beatrixa – so perhaps, again, no season at the top. Everything as before. However, what is still not the same as before is the incredible performance of four former second-league teams at the top – Haschborg 04 in 1st place, Neustadt, Rosenville, and Alterwar in 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. Only Eisenberg FC manages to break through in between them. A win by Wohia Kickers over FC Haschborg marks Rosenville’s first loss. After the third matchday, there is truly no club left that stands undefeated at the top without a loss or a draw. The only undefeated club is BFC Neustadt, who is now in 1st place. Winless, i.e., without a win or a draw, there is no club left either, but VfR Wengen and Borussia Walste remain without a win. The Lords and Plebs FC is on the second-to-last relegation spot – a disastrous season start so far.
On the 5th day, last year's Loewenburg champion suffers a bitter 1-5 defeat against the slowly warming-up FC Haschborg, gaining an astonishing 11-place jump. It seems that the infamous champion’s curse still holds sway. Then there is a relatively brutal change as SK Sturm Beatrixa crushes BFC Neustadt 5-0. Also at the top with the same point total (in this order) are 1. FC Kaiserclaw, King’s Team, SV Haschborg 04, and Hansa Kolsche. Thus, after MD4, BFC Neustadt’s record is also officially broken. VfR Wengen and Lords and Plebs FC remain winless at the bottom.
In the great traditional duel of MD5, 1. FC Kaiserclaw narrowly wins against Legio Loewenburg, but SK Sturm Beatrixa retains 1st place with a win against Hansa Kolsche. Legio continues to slide down and is now back to 16th place. Below them are Gevla and FC Wohia Kickers, both at the bottom and still winless.
MD6: Utrespor already secures their fourth draw this season against Gevla. Wengen gets their first victory against Feuerbrandt! And the Loewenburg Derby between Legio and King’s Team takes place. This duel hasn’t been so different in a long time, with King’s Team at the top and able to secure the top of the table with a win, while Legio desperately needs these points, as they have now slipped to the second-to-last direct relegation spot. Legio is narrowly disappointed once again, as KT is in 1st place and could claim another championship! After this brief stint, SK Sturm Beatrixa reclaims the top spot. In the absolute basement duel between LaPFC and Legio L., Legio narrowly but deservedly wins. LaPFC remains brutally at the very bottom without a single season victory, with only 2 points.
By MD9, Gevla’s situation is worsening, as even second-to-last Wengen could beat them. At the top, Kaiserclaw comes forward again, living up to their motto, “Good against the Good, weak against the Weak,” with a win over Borussia Walste. On the same matchday, the absolute top match and simultaneous derby between SK Sturm Beatrixa (1st) and Sturm Baltika Fußball (3rd) takes place. The league leader wins 2-0 and now leads the table with a 4-point gap. The King’s Team extends its losing streak of three defeats to Utrespor. The newly promoted Rosenville narrowly secures a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Alterwar, now back up to 3rd place. Conversely, Alterwar falls to 16th place and might slide into the brutal relegation battle this season. However, Loewenburg slowly begins to climb back up from the midfield with two victories.
A true spectacle ensues in what seemed to be a clearly defined game between Kaiserclaw and Gevla, as an incredible 8 goals are scored in a draw. After an astonishing 9 matchdays, Lords and Plebs FC finally breaks their zero-mark, securing their first season win. Gevla now falls to last place.
MD12 displays the interesting contrasts that have established themselves in the league over the season – Legio Loewenburg has fought its way up from the relegation battle to an unbelievable 2nd place, while their major rival with a strong season start, the King’s Team, has simply dropped to 14th place. Lords and Plebs FC, after a previously horrific season, has won three consecutive games and is now in the relegation spot. Neustadt, once an early season giant, is in 16th, with Wengen even above them. Sturm Baltika Fußball is in 11th place, with SK Beatrixa still at the top, followed by Kaiserclaw, Haschborg, Rosenville, and Borussia Walste.
Kaiserclaw surpasses SK Sturm Beatrixa on MD14, but the latter manages to reclaim first place by defeating Legio on the next matchday, as Kaiserclaw also loses to 6th-place Rosenville. Gevla has meanwhile climbed back to 11th after a good winning streak. A shocking upset comes from bottom-ranked Feuerbrandt, who defeats 5th-place Borussia Walste 5-1. And once again, Feuerbrandt (still bottom-ranked) shocks second-place Kaiserclaw with a 3-1 victory. Absolute underdogs defeating absolute top teams – unbelievable! And still, they remain in last place!
In MD17, Sturm Baltika Fußball triumphs over Borussia Walste with a 5-1 win, moving up to second place. It seems to be a direct duel this season between the two fierce rivals for the championship – exciting! The next MD sees a derby between SV Haschborg 04 and FC Haschborg, with the former winning 1-0, moving up to 7th place, just one spot above their archrival from Haschborg. Both major traditional clubs with thrilling derbies.
Let’s take a look at MD20 and the official mid-season standings. SK Sturm Beatrixa remains at the top with a 6-point lead over second-place Legio Loewenburg and third-place SV Rosenville. They are followed by Sturm Baltika Fußball, Eisenberg FC, SV Haschborg 04, and 1. FC Kaiserclaw. Then come Borussia Walste and, surprisingly, Lords and Plebs FC, who have climbed up to 9th place. In mid-table are Haschborg, Wengen, Wohia Kickers, Alterwar, Gevla, and Feuerbrandt – all of whom have also clawed their way back up. Lower down are Hansa Kolsche and Utrespor. Unfortunately, the once-great King’s Team has landed on the relegation spot, hoping not to fall further. Wyvern Rot-Weiß and, at the very bottom, BFC Neustadt round out the standings. However, everything is incredibly close.
MD23 brings another surge of excitement at the top as Rosenville seizes first place – could they even make a historic run all the way to the top as last season's second-league champion? It would be an unimaginable feat, who knows! They are followed by SK and SB Fußball, then Eisenberg FC and Legio. Neustadt remains in the direct relegation zone, as does Kolsche, with Alterwar potentially facing a brutal relegation battle. Wyvern Rot-Weiß stuns with a spectacular 5-0 victory over third-place Sturm Baltika Fußball. In the absolute top match, SK Sturm Beatrixa defeats SV Rosenville 2-0, securing the top spot once again. Loewenburg’s club Legio takes revenge by defeating the King’s Team 2-0, putting them back on the relegation spot to the second league. In the next “Sturmderby,” this time Sturm Baltika Fußball wins 2-0, with SK still holding the top spot and SBF moving up to 3rd place.
MD30 is over – time for another look at the standings. From the bottom up: in negative form at the very bottom sits Hansa Kolsche, with only 7 wins and 5 draws. A total of 18 defeats are in their record. Above them is BFC Neustadt, with a 5-point gap, keeping a good view over the field ahead. The King’s Team is back on the relegation spot, followed by Lords and Plebs FC, 1829 Feuerbrandt, and Eintracht Alterwar. Moving into the midfield, we find Wyvern Rot-Weiß – who fought their way out of the lower ranks with a good winning streak – then FC Wohia Kickers, FC Haschborg, SSV Gevla 1907, and in 10th place, SV Haschborg 04. Moving up, we have Borussia Walste, SV Utrespor – also on an incredible winning streak right now – 1. FC Kaiserclaw, Legio Loewenburg, and, completely unexpectedly, VfR Wengen in 5th place. With over 50 points and currently a 6-point gap, we have Sturm Baltika Fußball and SV Rosenville. In second place sits SK Sturm Beatrixa, and with just one win difference, Eisenberg FC holds a surprising first place. They emerged from the shadows with consistent performances. After a brief comeback by Sturm Beatrixa, Eisenberg managed to reclaim first place in MD32 with a last-minute goal for a 1-0 victory in their direct duel.
Three matchdays remain until the season ends, presenting the following situation in the standings: in first place is SK Sturm Beatrixa Fußball, followed closely by Eisenberg FC with a 1-point difference, and Rosenville is 3 points behind. Nominally, Sturm Baltika Fußball, in fourth place, still has a chance to claim the championship, but only if the others lose everything, which is highly unlikely. Wengen and Loewenburg are further down and likely have no chance for a podium finish. At the bottom, the King’s Team is far down in last place. Between them and Hansa Kolsche, the order can still be determined, but a save on the relegation spot from Neustadt is only possible if they lose the matches, which is also highly unlikely. Neustadt, Wyvern, Feuerbrandt, Alterwar, and perhaps even LaPFC are vying for the relegation spot among themselves. Incredible historical decisions loom, as the best club in lionsroar history could even be relegated.
An incredibly important victory for Hansa Kolsche in the relegation duel against BFC Neustadt brings them within just one point of BFC Neustadt. In the duel for the top spot, Eisenberg loses 1-0 to Legio. Rosenville also loses 5-2 to Lords and Plebs FC. King’s Team loses to Feuerbrandt and is thus virtually relegated. Feuerbrandt secures themselves a bit from the relegation zone. SK Sturm Beatrixa narrowly wins 3-2, nearly securing the championship – no title-losing errors are likely to happen.
It is the penultimate matchday, and with an incredible 3-2 victory, Hansa Kolsche saves themselves ahead of time against SSV Gevla, securing the relegation spot. Rosenville wins against Neustadt, sending them directly to the relegation zone but themselves still holding second place. Eisenberg FC only manages a draw against FC Wohia Kickers, and SK Sturm Beatrixa now secures the championship with 69 points and a large goal difference of +27. Eisenberg FC and Rosenville can no longer make up this goal difference with a win. The final relegation of King’s Team in last place is now delayed after a 2-0 win over Wyvern Rot-Weiß and thus getting the relegation spot. Wyvern is pushed below Neustadt on the last spot.
Sturm Beatrixa loses 3-0 to Utrespor, but can still celebrate the championship. Now, on to the final MD: Gevla faces Legio, which they lose 3-2, Kolsche manages only a draw against Rosenville, thus standing on the relegation spot with 43 points. Neustadt would have to make up for this with a positive goal difference to avoid relegation. Rosenville stands in second place for the moment after the draw. Wohia Kickers and Alterwar end scoreless, the latter securing their first-ever league survival. And finally: Neustadt manages only a draw against Feuerbrandt, placing them in the second direct relegation spot. Kolsche has saved themselves but now faces the challenge of winning against the third-placed team of the second league. The nerves are therefore far from calm.
With a 2-1 victory, Eisenberg claims the runner-up position, displacing Rosenville once again. LaPFC finishes in 8th place after a win over Wyvern Rot-Weiß, which are pushed down on the relegation spot left by the King's Team. In their pre-final match in the first league, King’s Team achieves a consolation victory of 2-0 against the final fourth-placed Sturm Baltika Fußball and thus saving themselves from relegation, unbelievable!. Sturm Beatrixa does not win their last match against Borussia Walste, but the positive goal difference of +4 compared to second-place Eisenberg FC secures their victory. And in the last game of the season, 1. FC Kaiserclaw and VfR Wengen face off: the latter achieves an incredible 5th place with a win.

Second Division
And the second division also resumes its regular league operations. The opening game features SC Fortuna Friedelsheim and 1. FC Wohia. The former promoted team from the third league holds the record for the most trophies among these clubs and managed to secure survival last season with a 15th-place finish. They face the clear favorite in this match, 1. FC Wohia, who narrowly missed promotion in the 00/01 season playoffs against 1. FC Kaiserclaw and narrowly missed a promotion spot last season as well. They can win this match at SC's Friedrich-Maiers Arena with a score of 0:1.
The second game of the season, considered by many fans to be the real season opener, is between the historic club FC Danubia Ulm and the 6th largest club from Lionsroar Thuringia West. Ulm has had strong seasons so far, while this is Thuringia’s debut in the 2nd league in a long time. 40,000 spectators saw this game in the sold-out Donaustadion, with nearly 10,000 loud away fans. The match ends in a 2-2 draw.
Another absolute top game features relegated SC Loewenburg against 5th-placed East traditional club Energie Königseck in the sold-out SC-Spielpark with 40,000 seats. The relegated team wins this duel.
A former third-league match-up occurs between the promoted teams FC Thuringia and Gymnasium Wengen Football, with the former being the clear favorite after just barely losing the promotion play-off against former second-league team BFC Neustadt last season. However, they suffer a 2-1 defeat this time.
The historic club Olympia Loewenburg is also back in the 2nd league after barely avoiding relegation last season in the playoffs against TSV Hartberg. This time, they face established FC Sturm Kaersting. Olympia loses at home with 35,000 spectators with a score of 2-0.
Third-league champions Nord-Ost FC are excited to play at their packed home stadium against former 1st league team FC Kingsund—the 9th largest team in all of Lionsroar. They manage to take all 3 points with them.
On Matchday 1, there is also an immediate glory duel between Gloria Deinze and Gloria Augusta FC, ending in a goalless draw. Another former first-division relegation team, after a mediocre season last year, looks forward to a game against third-league promoted Wohia West. A disastrous 5-1 defeat shocks all of Fußballlionsroar, with Youth Bellask appearing to falter right at the start of the season.
Thuringia West suffers a 1-0 loss against SpvGG Esse on Matchday 2. On MD3, a major historic encounter occurs between Olympia Loewenburg and Thuringia West. The former is painfully positioned at the bottom with 0 points, alongside former 1st division club Bellask in the direct relegation spots—the game ends in a 1-1 draw.
After MD3, there is no longer any club with only wins; everyone has at least one loss or one victory. The only team without a win or draw is FC Excelsior Erwangen, while several teams are still winless, including Youth Bellask, Olympia Loewenburg, SC Fortuna Friedelsheim, FC Danubia Ulm, and Thuringia West, all of which are major historic clubs.
Without any losses so far are 1. FC Wohia-West, FC Sturm Kaersting, Youth Voltra, SpvGG Esse, and SC Loewenburg. In a basement derby, Danubia Ulm and Olympia Loewenburg meet—both clubs lay the foundation for a fan friendship here—and Danubia secures their first season win.
In the youth derby, Voltra and Bellask face off, with Bellask securing their first season victory. Erwangen earns their first draw against none other than Thuringia West. The only team with three wins, one draw, and no losses remains 1. FC Wohia-West. Likewise, Gloria Augusta FC and Esse remain unbeaten. Three major historic clubs—Thuringia West, Olympia Loewenburg, and FC Excelsior Erwangen—still haven’t claimed a single win.
Olympia’s first win is documented with a 4-0 victory over Esse, which also marks Esse’s first loss. In a former first-division match-up, Bellask faces Thuringia West; both have endured a terrible season so far. Finally, Thuringia turns things around with a 3-0 victory. Kingsund has now also slipped to the lower part of the standings.
On MD6, SC Loewenburg clinches a win in a top match against 1. FC Wohia-West, which was firmly at the top, yet still cannot shake off the pursuit. FC Thuringia, St. Leypzig-Kreuz, and Youth Voltra also remain among the top teams. In another big match, Kingsund wins 2-1 against Thuringia West.
On MD9, Gloria Augusta FC crushes Olympia Loewenburg with a strong 5-0, sending them back to a relegation spot. Other historic clubs seem to have stabilized. After MD10, a quarter of the season is over. Leading the standings is SC Loewenburg, closely followed by 1. FC Wohia-West and the constantly shifting positions of FC Thuringia, 1. FC Wohia, St. Leypzig-Kreuz, and Youth Voltra. They are trailed by SpvGG Esse, Gloria Augusta FC, and Thuringia West. Following are Fortuna Friedelsheim, Kaersting, Bellask, and Ulm. Then come Kingsund, Olympia, and Gymnasium Wengen Football. Historic clubs have gradually found their way into the midfield, clustered closely together. Relegation spots currently belong to Energie Königseck and Nord-Ost FC, while Gloria Deinze and Excelsior Erwangen sit at the bottom with just 4 points after 10 matches.
On MD11, the heated Wohia Derby pits 1. FC Wohia-West against 1. FC Wohia. The latter wins but remains behind the club from Wohia-West, still in 3rd place. Thuringia West faces SC Loewenburg and pulls off a 3-3 draw. MD12 sees Bellask thrash Kingsund 5-1. In the Thuringia Derby, 5th-placed FC Thuringia clashes with 9th-placed Thuringia West, ending in another 2-2 draw. Ulm pulls off a 2-1 victory against league leader Loewenburg, dropping them to 2nd place beneath Wohia-West. The two Wohia clubs now compete for the championship. In a smaller Loewenburg derby between Olympia and SC, the game concludes in a 1-1 draw, with SC remaining in 2nd place behind 1. FC Wohia by 5 points. Gloria Deinze is a dismal 6 points behind at the bottom.
A small review after MD20 reveals familiar trends from the early matchdays. Loewenburg has reclaimed the top spot after a long stretch of dominance by the second-placed 1. FC Wohia, closely followed by Wohia-West in the Wohia rivalry. Ulm, surprisingly, ranks 4th after strong performances, trailed by Esse and the equally surprising Thuringia West. Youth Voltra, Kaersting, Leypzig, FC Thuringia, Gymnasium Wengen, and Gloria Augusta FC follow next. After them are Kingsund, Fortuna Friedelsheim, and Nord-Ost FC. Historic clubs Bellask and Loewenburg are precariously close to or on relegation spots, followed by Erwangen, Königseck, and, in last place, Gloria Deinze.
On MD21, a close top duel sees Ulm narrowly defeat 1. FC Wohia 1-0, pushing Ulm into a promotion playoff position. Loewenburg is fortunate, as they also suffer a loss to SC Fortuna Friedelsheim. In the next direct matchup, Thuringia West plays Esse but loses 2-1. Kingsund falls to last-placed Deinze with a 1-0 score. In the rematch, 1. FC Wohia defeats SC Loewenburg, yet Loewenburg maintains first place. In the next major match between Ulm and Esse, it ends in a 2-2 draw. On MD23, Esse defeats Wohia, improving their chances of claiming the top spot and moving up to 3rd. SCL meanwhile wins against FC Thuringia. Ulm draws with Olympia Loewenburg. Bellask wins the next youth derby 2-1.
On MD24, Esse drops points against Olympia. SCL reaches the 50-point mark. Ulm reclaims 3rd place with a scoreless draw against Erwangen. Olympia once again steals points, this time from 1. FC Wohia. Sturm Kaersting rises from the upper midfield to 2nd place after a 3-1 win over Gymnasium Wengen Football. Thuringia, having steadily climbed the ranks, now holds 3rd place.
MD31: Only 8 games remain. At the top of the standings sits Sturm Kaersting, while SC Loewenburg endures a series of harsh defeats, just one point behind. Title contenders are Esse, 1. FC Wohia, 1. FC Wohia-West, Youth Voltra, and St. Leypzig-Kreuz. Thuringia West, Danubia Ulm, and Youth Bellask follow. With more distance between Nord-Ost FC and FC Thuringia, Olympia Loewenburg is next. Then SC Fortuna Friedelsheim, Gloria Augusta FC, and Gymnasium Wengen Football. The bottom teams are FC Kingsund, Energie Königseck, FC Excelsior Erwangen, and Gloria Deinze. This matchday, 1. FC Wohia wins 5-0, reclaiming the top spot. Leypzig climbs to 5th after a victory over Wohia-West.
In their direct match on the next matchday, Leypzig Kreuz wins 1-0, moving into 2nd place. Wohia retains first place. Wohia-West defeats Sturm Kärsting 2-0. Youth Voltra plays Gloria Deinze, earning a 2-0 victory and claiming the top position for the first time. In the next top match, SC Loewenburg defeats Esse, moving to 2nd place with the same points as Voltra.
In MD33’s top match, Leypzig beats Sturm Kaersting and takes the lead once again. Wohia-West wins away against Youth Voltra, securing 58 points and 2nd place. Another dramatic moment unfolds in the tense “small Loewenburg derby” as SC Loewenburg thrashes Olympia 5-0 to reclaim the top spot. 1. FC Wohia misses the chance to close the gap as they lose to Kaersting in MD34, who moves up to 3rd place. In the relegation showdown between Kingsund and Gymnasium Wengen Football, the former wins 4-0, temporarily escaping relegation. Gloria Augusta FC slips further after a draw against fellow relegation rival Königseck.
Leypzig and Voltra play to a scoreless draw, which secures Leypzig’s 2nd place position. Wohia-West loses to Thuringia West in the “West Derby.” Deinze moves to the penultimate relegation spot after a 3-0 win over Ulm, leaving Königseck trailing behind due to goal difference despite having the same points.
Loewenburg retains first place.
Wohia loses again, this time to Wengen. This effectively ends their promotion hopes. Wengen temporarily avoids relegation. Kingsund defeats Königseck, further securing their safety. All of Loewenburg's closest competitors, including Leypzig, Voltra, and Wohia-West, falter, allowing Loewenburg to gain a five-point lead after defeating Bellask.
Three days before the end, Wohia's promotion dreams are entirely dashed after a loss to Voltra. Kaersting stumbles once more, this time against Thuringia West, which has climbed to 5th place and may only be able to secure a playoff spot. Kingsund distances itself even further from the relegation zone. Ulm, using all their strength, overwhelms Leypzig with an astounding 5-0 victory—a severe blow.
Following a 2-0 win, SC Loewenburg can now celebrate the championship, with an 8-point lead over the second-place team and a final score matching SK Sturm Beatrixa’s record in the first league just two days before the end. Congratulations, and welcome back to the 1st League!
In the fight for 2nd and 3rd place, Esse defeats Wohia-West, crushing their promotion hopes. Deinze miraculously saves themselves, moving to a playoff spot, but this is short-lived as Excelsior quickly retakes it. Königseck defeats 1. FC Wohia and climbs to the penultimate spot, hoping to reach the relegation playoff if Erwangen loses.
Thuringia beats Voltra, closing in on them in the standings at 4th place. Kaersting defeats Ulm 2-0, holding onto 2nd place. Loewenburg crosses the 70-point mark. A draw between Esse and Leypzig keeps them both out of reach of promotion. With 61 points and a goal difference of zero, Leypzig can no longer aim for promotion. Esse, with a goal difference of 12, also finds promotion out of reach.
On the penultimate matchday, relegation rivals Deinze and Erwangen face off, with Deinze winning this crucial game and staying in the playoff spot overnight. On the final matchday, Thuringia plays 1. FC Wohia. A win by five goals would mean promotion, but their narrow loss ends those dreams. They simply weren’t competitive enough throughout the season.
In another relegation battle, Erwangen faces Friedelsheim, who wins, sending Erwangen to a direct relegation position. Thanks to a slightly better goal difference, Gloria Deinze celebrates their survival. Friedelsheim’s points don’t change their fate, leaving them in the relegation playoff spot. Kingsund barely avoids relegation.
Voltra defeats Ulm, remaining in 3rd place. Meanwhile, other teams still have matches. Loewenburg beats Gymnasium Wengen Football, finishing the season with 75 points. A draw leaves Sturm Kaersting in 2nd place, officially securing their promotion. Their opponent Esse misses the promotion playoff spot by just 2 points and will not advance. Leypzig Kreuz finishes 4th and also misses out on promotion despite a victory over Olympia.
The battle at the bottom remains tense between Deinze and Erwangen. The latter wins against Wohia-West and lands in a relegation playoff position, but Deinze’s victory over Bellask reverses this outcome. In their final match, Deinze suffers a narrow 1-0 loss, sealing their direct relegation fate. Erwangen and Friedelsheim will face the 3rd- and 4th-placed teams from the third league. Kingsund and Loewenburg secure safety.
SC Loewenburg is promoted as champions along with Kaersting. Voltra advances to the playoff after beating Leypzig, Esse, Thuringia West, Wohia-West, and 1. FC Wohia. An incredibly thrilling season finale! Youth Voltra will now face the great Hansa Kolsche in two matches. They lose the first game 1-0, and after a late equalizer in the second match, they ultimately fall in a penalty shootout. Incredible!
