BFC Dynamo 0:2 TeBe

Berliner Cup Quarter Final, Jahn Sportpark, Wednesday 27th February 2008

Team:

Scorer: Kulkulies, Savran (pen)

Attendance: ca. 1040 (ca. 200 TeBe)

So the Cup experts march into the semis against an altogether unpleasant opponent that had become somewhat of a bogey team in recent years.

Opinions on the game are somewhat divided, from fans on both sides. Either

a) it was a poor game contested by two poor sides, with TeBe being slightly better and slightly cuter, or

b) TeBe just took their foot off the gas after going 1-0 ahead, and could have easily scored 2 or 3 more, had they tried

Match report (German) on official site

Apparently we dominated until BFC had a man sent off in the second half, whereupon they came back into the game, until a foul in the box let hot-shot Halil score his 274th of the season (well almost!)

In any case we march on, a lage police presence prevented the Nasen from attacking our fans, and Sascha Kadow is officially useless. If TeBe win the semi, they may even have the privilege of the Kobold's presence (record: 2 Berlin Cup finals, 2 wins) at the final!

Torgelow 3:4 TeBe

Sunday 24th February 2008, Torgelow

Team: Greil - Mohra - Below - Wanski - Schrödter - Thiam - Petrowski (Scholl) - Ergirdi (Kalkan) - Aydin (Kessler) - Kukulies - Savran

Scorers: Savran 2, Mohra, Schrödter

Attendance: 388 (way down from 1700 2 seasons ago, have the Torgelower public lost interest in the Oberliga and their team?)


So TeBe get the second half of the season off to a great start. Apparently we didn't play that well, the 3 goals we conceded were avoidable and defensive mistakes, but to score 4 away from home, (and we had 2 ruled out for offside) bodes well. Unfortunately, most of our rivals won too, which leaves the table looking like this:

Pl.		Verein	Sp	S	U	N	Tore	Diff.	Pkt.
1.	(1.)	Hertha BSC Berlin II	15	12	2	1	38:6	+32	38
2.	(2.)	BFC Türkiyemspor 1978	15	11	1	3	26:12	+14	34
3.	(4.)	Hansa Rostock II	15	9	3	3	41:15	+26	30
4.	(3.)	Berliner FC Dynamo	15	8	5	2	28:13	+15	29
5.	(5.)	Greifswalder SV 04	15	9	1	5	32:17	+15	28
6.	(6.)	FSV Optik Rathenow	15	8	4	3	22:15	+7	28
7.	(7.)	Tennis Borussia Berlin	15	8	3	4	37:15	+22	27

13 more games, if we win them all, we'll go up :)

Next up, BFC Dynamo in JSP in the Cup on Wednesday, should be a cracker, wish I could be there, just round the corner from home and all that. Plenty of necessary security arrangements in place to ensure TeBe fans' safety.
