U14 Youth Cup: Bayer 04 U14 v Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1
The U14s built on the success of recent weeks against Borussia Mönchengladbach with two brilliantly-worked early goals from Aaron Tshimuanga (nine') and Janiss Fissl (14').
"The team kept up the pressure and added to the scoreline," said coach Mirko Casper. After Tshimuanga made it 3-0 the visitors did hit back with a fine individual goal for a 3-1/2-time scoreline.
The U14s stuck to their task and in less than eight minutes increase their lead to 5-1 with two goals from Emrehan Gedikli (51', 58'). 43 points from 15 games unbeaten keeps the U14 side clear in first place.
U15 Regional League: Bayer 04 U15 v Fortuna Düsseldorf 3:1
After recent minor setbacks, the U15s were happy to pick up three points again. The team coached by Florian Junge made an impressive start against Düsseldorf and went 2-0 up with an early double from Christopher Scott (7', 15')..
Fortuna fought back in the middle of the second half to score a consolation goal. But Scott restored the two-goal lead for the U15 side with his tenth goal of the season. That was enough to take them up to third place.
