The fixture against Eintracht Braunschweig started as usual for the #B04eSports players with a 2 vs 2 game. Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik were on the controllers and up against the Braunschweig duo of Kai ‘HENSOO’ Hense and Philipp ‘EISVOGEL’ Schermer. The match ended with a 2-1 defeat from a Black and Red perspective.

Defender Oermann raved about his school days, whilst talented midfielder Berghoff revealed to the young footballers, amongst other things, who his favourite player is – and he is also at Bayer 04.
