Match report
Vauldhof Mannheim beat Preußen Münster 2-0 in the 3. Liga's regular season round 7 at the Karl-Benz-Stadion on Sunday afternoon. The result keeps the hosts in 13th place on seven points, while Münster remain seventh with eleven after six matches.
Julian Rieckmann opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and the home side held their nerve through a first half that produced two yellow cards. Vincent Thill went into the book in the 23rd minute, followed by Rico Preißinger of the visitors in the 36th.
The second half saw a flurry of changes. Thill was replaced in the 62nd minute, and by the 66th both Preißinger and Niklas Varelmann had come off for Münster. Gonçalo Gregório came on for the hosts in the 76th, while three more visitors arrived in quick succession.
And here's the thing — the game stayed tight until the final quarter. Philipp Maier picked up a yellow in the 83rd minute, and then Francisco Fumaça de Mascarenhas da Costa Pessoa struck in the 87th to seal the victory. Four more substitutions followed in the closing stages.
The statistics tell a story of wasted opportunity. Both sides created no big chances, and Mannheim's five shots on target produced two goals while Münster managed just three. The visitors had more attacks — 93 to 88 — but could not find the net.
By then, the table positions were clear enough. Münster continue to lead the home side by four points, but the gap feels smaller after a match where both sides could have done more with what they had.
