Pétange so Etzella at the buzzer
Four days before their decisive duel in the race to maintain the DN, Pétange won the first round late against Etzella (2-0) to advance to the semi-finals of the Cup.
In a rhythmic and choppy game (nine yellows, including a yellow-red), we had to wait for additional time to see Pétange take the lead and then make the break against Etzella. And thus win a deserved success (2-0) in the first of two duels this week between the two teams, which will meet on Sunday in Ettelbruck for a decisive game in the race to maintain.
Dominant for a long time, particularly in the second period when the young Anthony Nwanne concluded his first by presenting the Ettlebruckois to ten (80th), and where Witte had to work twice (61st, 90 + 1) in front of an Abreu in legs and in seen but not successful in front of goal, Yannick Kakoko’s men ended up taking the lead on the last corner of the game.
Put back in the box by Kobylianskiy, the ball landed at the far post on Niklas Jeck, who raised his foot very high to catapult him into the left corner (1-0, 90+1). Entering the game ten minutes earlier, the young Gonçalves then closely sealed the qualification for the semi-finals of Titus, who can therefore always dream of Europe. Even if the priority objective is clearly elsewhere.
