RB goalkeeper Josep Martínez only intervened in the eighth minute when he hit a corner kick, otherwise it was a rather uneventful working day.
Shortly thereafter, there was encouragement for Cuttweg: Angelino began changing sides on the right with a cross, which Nicolas Cosa could not keep out. Nordi Mukele brought the ball flat and sharp in front of the penalty area, where Sörloth only had to extend his foot and enter it – 1-0 (10).
It became dangerous for the red-and-white case in the 19th minute when she found a dangerous pass into the free space and Andy Delort, who didn’t have a good model for his next teammate in the plight of 17-year-old Bona. .

Amadou Haidara scored 2-0 on his head in the 45th minute, but failed from a distance of a few meters. Urban finished a few laps of the pointer later, and allowed young bull Ben Cliffish – who had just signed a licensed player contract – to show himself (52nd place).
For the third quarter, Coach Marsh started the rotary press machine.
Joining the team were Alkmaar winner Lazar Samardzic, as well as Marcelo Saracci, Joscha Woese, Michael Kostka, Sidney Rabiger, Hugo Novoa and Noah Ohio.
Due to the many changes, the game flow was a bit slow. But even Montpellier, where Schalke Benjamin Stamboli was about to return, was rarely attacked with a total of five new players.
There was bad news shortly before the final whistle in the third quarter: Substitute Saracci hit his knee with an opponent during a clarification campaign and had to walk off the field on a stretcher (90).

With new guard Philip Chuner as well as Mohamed El-Ibrahimi and Daniel Krasocki, the final quarter began under the evening sun.
Less than four minutes were played in the final section when the ball fell into the net a second time – this time into the gate of RB. Cliffish was unable to neutralize a back pass, which meant that Beni Makwana was able to take it off very easily and hit it in the short corner – 1:1 (94).
Shortly before the end of the match, Montpellier managed to turn the game around: after a quick free-kick, Elie Wahy scored the winning goal 2-1 for Ligue 1 against the slightly better Saxony U19 at the end (117th).
