The Leipzig derby went to 1. FC Lok. A narrow victory against Chemie. Goalscorer Sascha Pfeffer classified the victory accordingly, as did both coaches.
1:0 was the score after a hard-fought 90 minutes, with the favoured home side coming out on top in the end. “Congratulations to Lok “, Miroslav Jagatic was a fair loser. For the Chemie coach, it was clear: “Whoever scores the first goal wins the game.” The goal was scored by Lok through veteran Pfeffer, who finished off a combination with substitute Eric Voufack with the goal of the day in the 76th minute.
At a stage when Jagatic thought “we have them ready “ Lok had “more possession” in the first half, but after the break “you noticed that Lok had not found any solutions. Then they started hitting long balls, which is unusual.” But the 1:0 came from a successful combination. “Coach Almedin Civa liked the way we played it out and Sascha scored the goal. “It was well played out and hard to defend. “
The way we did it out of the back is awesome.
Scorer Pfeffer was first of all “overjoyed that we won the fucking thing”. Especially since his team had “struggled quite a bit”. Lok was “clearly the better team”, but “the compelling chances” were missing, “we always had to be careful on the counterattacks”. But “the way we did it at the back is really cool “, Pfeffer was happy about the victory.
Sievers holds on for the win
But it wasn’t quite that ruthless in the end. In injury time, Lok could not get the ball out of the danger zone and goalkeeper Jan-Ole Sievers had to use all his skill to save Ben Keßler’s shot from eleven metres. Sievers received praise from the visitors’ coach Jagatic, who had seen “a great game from both teams in the derby”. Lok remains third, Chemie eleventh.
