SV Wehen extends winning streak: 2:1 against Kaiserslautern
SV Wehen Wiesbaden stayed on the road to success with a 2:1 (1:1) win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. With their fourth win in a row on Sunday in the 2nd Bundesliga, the promoted team from Hesse climbed to seventh place in the table and is getting ever closer to the promotion places. Thijmen Goppel (51st minute) and Ivan Prtajin (65th) scored for the hosts in the south-west derby in front of 12,100 spectators in the sold-out Brita-Arena. The Palatinate side had initially taken the lead through Marlon Ritter (39).
In a largely uneventful first half, a shot from an acute angle by Wiesbaden's Amar Catic (6'), which FCK goalkeeper Julian Krahl kept out, remained the only chance for a long time. SV Wehen remained the more active team after that, but had to concede the lead through Ritter out of nowhere in the final stages of the first half. Shortly before the break, Prtajin missed the chance to equalize from close range (44'). After a goal from Terrence Boyd was disallowed for offside at the start of the second half (49'), Goppel made it 1-1 just a little later with a long-range shot that was deflected by Nikola Soldo. Prtajin turned the game in Wiesbaden's favour when he deflected a free-kick from Robin Heußer into the goal with his chest.
In the 2nd Bundesliga, 1st FC Kaiserslautern faced off against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, with the latter extending their winning streak with a 2:1 victory. This result moved SV Wehen Wiesbaden closer to the promotion places in Bundesliga 2, as they now sit in seventh position.
