Sonneberg dismantles Gospenroda: Göhring shines with a hat-trick!
In the Thuringian State Cup, 1. FC Sonneberg secured a clear victory in 2004: today they beat Gospenroda 4-0. Louis Göhring in particular showed his class and scored three goals, which made him the most eye-catching player in the game. While the Sonnebergers celebrated, the face of Patrick Lorenz, Gospenroda's coach, was certainly one of frustration. He said after the game: “If I knew what the problem was, we would change it immediately.” This statement highlights the difficulties his team is currently struggling with.
A notable event of the game was 19-year-old Hannes Wisdom, who started as a central defender and had to excel as a goalkeeper in the final 20 minutes. It's good that he was able to finish the game with his head held high until the end, even if he was powerless to score the last goal from Göhring (75th minute). Jannik Jäckel, a Gospenroda player, had to leave the field injured. During his rescue effort, he suffered a groin strain, which further weakened the team.
