1/16 final in DFB-Pokal: RW Essen with Swiss captain aims for next feat – sport

Rot-Weiss Essen is in good shape: Germany’s fourth division were the autumn champions of the Regionalliga West with 50 points (20 matches). Right in the middle: the Swiss Marco Kehl-Gomez.

Born in Zurich and a former GC junior, he has led the Revierklub as captain since his engagement in the summer of 2019. In the defensive midfield he is the center of control for a team currently on its way to promotion to the 3rd division.

Kehl-Gomez wants to “cut everything”

Now there is a highlight for RWE: Second division Fortuna Düsseldorf awaits in the second round of the DFB Cup on Wednesday. “We want to do it all over again,” Kehl-Gomez said. RevierSport combative. “Düsseldorf must not have the best day and we have to offer an excellent game.”

Such a situation would not come as a surprise to Essen: the 1953 cup winner eliminated Arminia Bielefeld from the Bundesliga in the first round (1-0). Coach Christian Neidhart made the underdog’s ambitions clear: “We haven’t lost a game yet, we want to keep it that way.”
