Angermünder FC are crowned champions – Strausberg secures second place!

The excitement in the promotion race for the North regional class is over. Angermünder FC secured the championship last matchday with a clear 4-0 win against bottom-placed Vierraden. This leaves FC Strausberg in second place after also recording an impressive home win with a 4-0 win against 1. SV Oberkrämer. On a day full of football goals and emotions, the decision about the promotion places was made on the 29th matchday of the season.

In Vierraden, where Angermünde took the decisive step towards the title, 325 spectators went to the stadium. Despite a strong performance, the home team remained disciplined defensively, but ultimately had to admit defeat. The first goal for Angermünde came in the 43rd minute through Artem Filonenko, who took the lead shortly before half-time. In stoppage time, Filonenko made it 2-0 with his second goal. Vierraden fought courageously, but after this defeat they cannot stay in the class and are relegated.

FC Strausberg with a strong performance

The Strausberg fans also had reason to be happy in the Energy Arena. Among the 66 spectators, Silvan Küter scored the first goal of the game in the 8th minute. The hosts didn't let up: Maximilian Brasch made it 2-0 in the 30th minute. A short time later, in the 35th minute, Ben Jacob made it 3-0. Substitute Jakob Sedlak scored in the 64th minute to make it 4-0. FC Strausberg's offensively committed performance was only jeopardized by a single attempt on goal by the guests from Oberkrämer. Goalkeeper Rene Fingerhut hardly had to intervene.
