The coach had a lot of fun and the spirit was very good today,” analyzed veteran Stefan Schwab after the final whistle and added: “The point helps us, even if a win would have been possible.” Keeper Timon Weiner added: “Our situation won’t get any easier in the next few weeks, but we can build on this draw.”KSV coach Tim Walter summarized: “The first half was outstanding for me. We gave it our all and showed emotions. That’s the only thing I can ask of the boys at the moment. I found the boys’ determination impressive. We want to build on this performance in the next few weeks.”Walter relies on Weiner in goal – two good KSV chancesCoach Walter presented the first visible change during the lineup and immediately caused a surprise. Instead of the previous goalkeeper Jonas Krumrey, Timon Weiner was given preference between the posts. Walter justified the swap afterwards with the more emotional nature of the Storks’ former promotion keeper. Marko Ivezic and Umut Tohumcu also moved into the starting line-up for Marco Komenda and Kasper Davidsen.

Spurred on by Walter, who was known to be emotional, on the sidelines – with a water bottle in his hand – it still took quite a while before things became really dangerous. Only after more than half an hour did Jonas Therkelsen’s cross cause real unrest in the Elversberg penalty area, which Andu Kelati chased free-standing towards the goal (34′). But the ball sailed next to the goal and assistant Luca Jürgensen raised the flag due to an offside position (34th). Mokwa takes the first chance coldly – Therkelsen answersKelati did much better just seven minutes later. The Frankfurt native tried a low shot from around 20 meters, but initially found an at least equal opponent in SVE keeper Nicolas Kristof, who quickly dived into the bottom left corner (41′). And since the storks, in the person of Ivan Nekic, were prevented from taking the lead again shortly before the break, this time after a corner from the right, by the watchful Amara Conde (45th), the score went back to the dressing room with the score 0-0. After the break, the Saarland team got off to a better start.With the first opportunity after the break, coach Vincent Wagner’s protégés took the lead. After a remarkable cross from Lasse Günther, who had just been substituted, David Mokwa was completely blank at the second post against Kiel’s advanced team and slotted the ball into the net (61′). But the Walter team quickly had the answer ready. Less than 120 seconds after falling behind, the home team equalized. Jonas Therkelsen was sent on his way, dribbled into the penalty area and, unlike Kelati before him, stayed cool in front of Kristof and pushed in to make it 1-1 (63′).

A result that was okay for the Swedish international in the end, but was not entirely satisfactory. “Of course we always want to win and keep a clean sheet, but I’m sure that will happen again,” Bernhardsson concluded.
