FC Gießen and TSG Wieseck: Drama and defeats in the Hessenliga duel!

FC Giessen suffered a bitter defeat today. In the C-Junior Hessen League the team lost 0-1 to JFV Bensheim/Auerbach. Despite a solid performance on the pitch and numerous chances, it wasn't enough for the points. As [giessener- Allgemeine.de](https://www.giessener- Allgemeine.de/sport/lokalsport/fc-giessen-unterlegen-bensheim-auerbach-in-laster-minute-94042288.html) reports, the match looked like a draw for a long time, but a late goal from the guests ensured the decision.

Interim coach Berkay Yildirim was nevertheless optimistic after the game and praised the team performance: “We fought for over 90 minutes and showed a strong team performance,” said Yildirim. The only downside: the Giessen team had to switch to a grass pitch due to construction work, which, according to the coach, made the playing conditions more difficult.

TSG Wieseck scores important points

While FC Gießen was in charge, things went much better at TSG Wieseck. The team celebrated a 2-1 win against SF/BG Marburg in the B-Youth Hessen League on November 4th, 2024, thus consolidating their first place in the table. According to [giessener-anzeiger.de](https://www.giessener-anzeiger.de/sport/lokalsport/giessens-junioren- Feiern-derbysieg-93392686.html), Wieseck dominated the game from the start, but still had to accept an early deficit due to Lorenz Kammler, who scored for Marburg in the 17th minute.

After the half-time break, Wieseck came back into the match: Jannis Müller converted a penalty in the 53rd minute and Younes Benjahdaun secured the three points with a 2-1 win in the 55th minute. Coach Soufiane Moussaoui expressed his disappointment with TSG Wieseck's defense, but emphasized the strength of the attack, which missed numerous opportunities, albeit somewhat miserably.

The relegation battle remains exciting

The table situation in the C-Junior Hessen League remains tense. Despite the defeat, FC Gießen remains in a solid third place, but with only one point behind Kickers Offenbach and two behind KSV Hessen Kassel, they have little room for improvement. In addition, the Giesseners have to be careful not to get into the relegation battle, as there are still some teams dangerously close behind them.

TSG Wieseck, on the other hand, could be considered a favorite for promotion with their current run, while the Giesseners have to quickly get back on the road to success. The next matches will be crucial in order to get out of the relegation zone and stabilize the form.

While challenges lurk in youth football, the teams from Gießen and Wieseck clearly show their fighting spirit and the ambition to successfully complete the respective season.
