Match Report

FC Wegberg/Beeck - Wuppertaler SV 1:4 (0:3)

Oberliga Niederrhein, Round 19:
February 17, 2002
Excellent restart after winterbreak

WSV got off the restart with a commanding 4-1 away win over Wegberg, and coupled with Velbert's stunning home loss to Aachen, the Lions vault into 1st place.

Several normal starters were banged up, so it was a semi-new look for WSV, as two new players were integrated into the squad with good results. Ioannis Tsapakidis, who had impressed with a trial during the winterbreak, started in the defense, and Andreas Gellert was promoted from the WSV-II squad. Fan favorite Nils Heese seems to have won back his starting role as goal-keeper.

WSV dominated from the start, with MOTM Bayertz opening the scoring after a quarter hour. This led to a fierce WSV onslaught against the hapless Beeckers, and everything was wrapped up by half-time.
