Audio: Braunschweig’s trainer Backhaus – “Were not good in both boxes” (3 min)
Status: 28.09.2025 4:35 p.m.
Eintracht Braunschweig received the next defeat in the 2nd league. The team of coach Heiner Backhaus lost on Sunday at SC Preußen Münster 1: 3 (0: 1). A defeat that could have been higher after a weak performance.
Oscar Vilhelmsson (23rd), Etienne Amenyido (48th) and Oliver Batista Meier (59.) ensured the success of the hosts with their goals – and for the fact that the Braunschweiger have been without victory for six competitive games (five in the 2nd division).
It was logical that the winlos series of Eintracht continues. When Eintracht woke up in Münster, the game was over Paktisch, Erencan Yardimcis Tor (69th) was the only serious climax from BTSV perspective. Otherwise, practically nothing worked this afternoon: not the pressing, not the intensity, not the counter game.
BTSV coach Backhaus: “Were not good in both boxes”
Table of Contents
After all: The Backhaus team added no further outdoor position to its previously inglorious dismissal statistics this afternoon.
The “Löwen” coach was worried that his team did not follow the match plan. In Sebastian Polter and Yardimci, “at the front was played with a lot of physicality”, alone: there were hardly any flanks, which was actually the idea. And since it was not really possible to prevent the Prussians at the end in the defense, in his view the realization was “that we were not good in both boxes”. Only between the penalty areas was “at eye level”.
Before the international break, the Lower Saxony has only one way to revise the desolate impression of the past two weeks. Already on Friday, the top team Paderborn will be a guest in the stadium on Hamburger Strasse (6.30 p.m., in the NDR LiveCenter).
Münster counters for the leadership
The weather in Münster was perfect, the sun seemed wonderful, no clouds in the sky – and yet at the beginning there was a strong shadow over the game. In the first 20 minutes, the game hit the mind of all those who don’t just love football for fighting and cramp. False passes here and misunderstandings there determined the picture. The role distribution of the unsightly spectacle: the SCP with the ball, Braunschweig lurking on a counterattack.
No chance for Eintracht goalkeeper Ron-Torchen Hoffmann: Oscar Vilhelmsson scores 1-0 for Münster.
The hosts were the first to break out of this statics of slopingness – and promptly rewarded themselves with 1-0. They loosened from the BTSV pressing on the left, so Lars Lokotsch had free rail. Shortly before the baseline, he put the ball back on Vilhelmsson, who broke off his sprint at the right moment, settled in from opponent Patrick Nkoa (23rd).
Eintracht Braunschweig offensively harmless …
The Münsterers earned the lead afterwards. Because if it got dangerous, then in front of the goal of Eintracht keeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann. In three beautiful corner and free kick variants, Marvin Schulz (34th), Lokotsch (36th) and Jannis Heuer (40th) missed the second goal for their team.
And the Backhaus team? That came through Yardimci’s header (41st) and Sven Köhler’s spacer shot (44th) in the first round only two half chances.
… and continued defensively vulnerable
Whatever the BTSV coach may have given his protégés for the second round, after a good two minutes it was waste, the Westphalia increased by the amenyido, which was substituted for the second round. And the goal was an image of the first – with the difference that the Prussian passage was significantly longer. They combined their own half – and without a Braunschweig being in a duel – until the Eintracht gate. In the end, Schulz took off on Amenyido, the former St. Pauli striker Castle in the corner (48th).
And speaker: Charalambos Makridis, two minutes earlier, took up for Vilhelmsson, with several BTSV players. The winner? Macridis! And what followed was already known: back pass, graduation, gate. This time Batista Meier was allowed to cheer.
Yardimci scores the honor goal
After all: Even if the means were limited to make the effort to make the result more positive, the harmony was not to be discussed. And so the Lower Saxony – among kindly using the Johannes Schenk indisposed in this situation – forced the honor goal. Yardimci hit the crowd after the Prussian goalkeeper could not catch a high ball (69.).
The best man of Lower Saxony, however, remained goalkeeper Hoffmann, who prevented with a strong parade against Amenyido (76.) that the Prussian beats were not even higher.
