Zentraliga

The Zentraliga is Tjorl's primary football league. It is comprised of 18 teams, all fighting to lift the trophy. While the four teams on top of the league get a chance to make a name for themselves in IFCF competitions, the bottom three teams are relegated to the Zekundliga, the second-tier of football. Meanwhile, the top two teams in the Zekundliga are automatically promoted to the top tier, while the third to sixth-placed teams compete in a play-off to determine the third promoted side. This mechanic of promotion and relegation can also be seen between the Zekundliga and the Tredjeliga, the third tier. In the Tredjeliga, the bottom four teams get relegated to the Nasjonaligaer, the fourth tier of Tjorlish football. The Nasjonaligaer is comprised of four different leagues covering a geographic area: Nord (North), Sud (South), Vest (West), and Ost (East). The champions of the four Nasjonaligaer are promoted to the third tier.

Forbundets-Pokal

The Forbundets-Pokal serves as the pinnacle of cup tournaments in Tjorlish football. All teams from the Zentraliga, Zekundliga, Tredjeliga, and the top 18 teams of each Nasjonaligaer automatically qualify, while two qualifying play-offs are held between two sets of four newly-promoted Nasjonaligaer squads to determine the final two places. Other than that, the Pokal's format is simple: A knockout-style tournament that starts with 128 teams in the first round and ends with one champion at the end of the season. Many underdog stories have been written here, as well as tales of domination from top squads.

CZUJON 022 SC
Image
Manager: Lorenz Turnau, 57 (TJL)
Nickname: The Crimson Eleven, the Great Reds
Stadium: Mandlstadion | Capacity: 70,590
City: Czujon, Nijunni
Rivals: Konunsfjord, Ascht Amor
History: 16 Zentraliga Titles, 11 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 1st, 84 pts
Season II Projection: Title Contenders

Background: Having won sixteen Zentraliga titles, there is no doubt that Czujon is one the most historic clubs in Tjorlish football. However, they haven't seen a decade where they have absolutely dominated, with their success spread out every few years. After a title drought in the 2000s, the title finally returned to the Mandlstadion thanks to a talented young core consisted of Edvard Eidsness, Nicholas Westermark, and Lilly Elstad. Now, it's time for new young talents to shine. Most notably, Erich Karjalainen, the strong and solid center-half in the heart of Czujon's defensive line. 19-year old Johan Kalbfleisch looks to be the successor to Westermark's reign in central midfield. Lastly, academy product Martin Breiner is a constant threat in attack. They finally had their breakthrough year last season, edging Asurblau Afoln to their first Zentraliga triumph in over seven years. Will they run it back this season?

This Season's Narrative: With Tjorlish football fans now knowing that Czujon has the quality to challenge for the title once again, can Czujon live up to the expectations and snatch back-to-back titles? There's also been a number of predictions saying Breiner might top the league in assists, as he nearly did in previous seasons. However, he will face intense competition against Afoln's Hans Beringer and Kevin Olssen. As for key matches, the most awaited game(s) of the season involves the Crimson Eleven: the Fjordderby against Konunsfjord 014. With an energetic atmosphere, heated match-ups, and amazing football, this would again most likely be the most-watched game of the season.

Projection: It's not hard to say that Czujon are title-challengers again. The question is, where will they finish? Their title campaign for this season will definitely be harder than last season. The players are definitely hungry to prove that their championship last season, one where fatal errors by Afoln in the final weeks decided the tie, was not a fluke. While they have the quality and the motivation, most pundits predict that they will unfortunately fall short for this season.

FC ASURBLAU AFOLN
Image
Manager: Mathias Neuhäusser, 47 (TJL)
Nickname: FC Sensational, the Striped Blues
Stadium: Morsteinstadion | Capacity: 91,422
City: Afoln, Nordplatz
Rivals: Kjol, Tjusto, Drazieu
History: 27 Zentraliga Titles, 20 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 2nd, 77 pts
Season II Projection: Title Contenders

Background: Record champions. Decades of domination. The club built on winning. FC Asurblau Afoln has been described with different words and phrases over time, but all of which tell the tale of the Striped Blues' success in Tjorlish football. Fans should never count them out of the hunt in nearly every season. From their five-peat in the late '70s and early '80s to their resurgence in the 2010s, Afoln is no stranger to victory. In recent times, much of their success is due to eagle-eyed scouting and productive youth development. Now, hotshots such as Nikolaj Eriksen, Kevin Olssen, and Stefan Johanssen lead the way for Afoln's future. With two of the past three championships under their belt, can they make it three in four?

This Season's Narrative: After missing out on a potential three-peat last season, Afoln is undoubtably looking to redeem themselves. Relatively young, newly-hired manager Mathias Neuhäusser will also finally get a chance at a top team to prove his coaching ability, as he hasn't been able to manage a good-enough squad in his previous stint with Roshavn SF. As for star forward Eriksen, him missing out on the top scorer's trophy, commonly known as the Skjöldur-Spitzenschützen, was disappointing. As such, that's another potential accolade that he will be chasing this year. Another, the storied rivalry between Afoln and SF Kjol enters another era as Kjol looks to rebound from previous disappointing seasons.

Projection: Afoln is terrifying, they have the potential to continue their dominance at the top for quite some time, and it's no different this year. Czujon are tough opponents and it's definitely not going to be as straightforward as before for Afoln. Nonetheless, with Neuhäusser introducing a more fluid style of attacking play focused on smart passing and creating space, the full capabilities of Afoln's attacking weapons might finally become unlocked. Therefore, most predict a 28th title for FC Sensational.

SC KONUNSFJORD 014
Image
Manager: Arnold Scherer, 64 (TJL)
Nickname: The Yellowjackets, the Daffodil Squad
Stadium: Grünerfluss Park | Capacity: 59,020
City: Konunsfjord, Varnland
Rivals: Czujon, Tjusto, Volanger
History: 7 Zentraliga Titles, 4 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 3rd, 68 pts
Season II Projection: Possible Title Contenders

Background: Throughout Tjorlish football history, Konunsfjord has been a regular fixture on the Zentraliga calendar. While they are definitely one of the most historic clubs in the Tjorlish deomestic scene, it comes as a curiosity that the Yellowjackets have "only" managed seven Zentraliga triumphs, considering the amount of talent that has played for the team. More than a decade after their Zentraliga and Forbundets-Pokal success in the 2000s, Arnold Scherer oversaw a revival of Konunsfjord's title-winning football in the mid-2010s. The defense, led by Harald Giehl and Paul Mathiasen, was rigid while the offense, which was fueled by Eva Wehausen and Hugo Lindberg, was flourishing. Despite unfortunately falling behind Czujon and Afoln once again, the Yellowjackets' experience and perseverance can bring them back to the top of the Zentraliga.

This Season's Narrative: With everyone focused on Czujon versus Afoln, can the Yellowjackets surprise everyone and snatch the trophy? An issue Konunsfjord might face this season, and in the near future, is whatever will happen to Paul Mathiasen. Many think that this might be his last year with the Daffodil Squad, as numerous rumours have floated around saying Mathiasen is very likely to transfer, particularly to Vestrageid FC. With two years left on his contract, Konunsfjord only has a season left before he is a free agent, and they wouldn't want to lose him in exchange for nothing. As for the young midfield, Scherer looks to develop their off-ball play and vision.

Projection: The Yellowjackets are strong, but they might not be strong enough. Tough opponents in Czujon and Afoln block the way and unless striker Artur Paulsen has his best season yet, Konunsfjord may be unable to match the offensive firepower of the squads above. Their defensive resilience may allow them to hang onto the title race longer than expected, but most still expect another third-place finish for Scherer's side.

SF KJOL
Image
Manager: Michael Tischbein, 67 (TJL)
Nickname: The Capital Crew, the Tangerines
Stadium: Traerstadion | Capacity: 63,615
City: Kjol, K.C.D.
Rivals: Afoln, Sud-Saalkirch
History: 13 Zentraliga Titles, 11 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 4th, 67 pts
Season II Projection: IFCF Possibility

Background: As the most dominant team to ever come out of the Tjorlish capital, it comes as no surprise that SF Kjol has a long history in the top tier of Tjorlish football. While they have always looked to be within reach of the title in most seasons, they have notably squandered it multiple times. The 21st century hasn't been good to the Tangerines, especially the mid 2010s. Throughout the decade, Kjol has been plagued with poor performances year after year, culminating in a 15th-placed finish in 2015-16, which resulted in Victor Grünberg's sacking as head coach after seven years at the touchline. Despite winning the Forbundets-Pokal in the 2018-19 season, it was clear that something needed to change for the Capital Crew. Soon, Kjol recovered thanks to efforts from manager Michael Tischbein and experienced captain Jan Thomassen. Now, the Tangerines are back in the fight for IFCF qualification.

This Season's Narrative: Despite Kjol's return to the upper echelons of the Zentraliga, the squad is still unlikely to make a title run. However, they are ready to book their spots back in the IFCF Challenger's Cup. Last season, they barely squeaked through after a chaotic final matchday saw Tjusto failing to capitalize on a Kjol draw. This season, the Tangeries look to seal their top four spot again, hopefully through less nerve-wracking moments this time. Starting striker Mariano Simões is in the last year of his contract and there's still seems to be no sign that Kjol will extend it. If he's gone by the end of the season, it may finally make way for his Tecoian compatriot Vicente Aguiar.

Projection: Again, quite unlikely for the Tangerines to push for the title this season but with the squad that they have, not qualifying for any IFCF competition is going to be surprising. While their ceiling is still definitely the championship in surprise circumstances, they are not exactly known to always achieve their absolute best. The offense is good for now, but their defense may have a tough time covering the long-ball, especially on their flanks. At the end of the season, they are most likely going to be around 3rd - 5th.

TJUSTO FSC
Image
Manager: Hans Schöler, 48 (TJL)
Nickname: The Scarlet Ones, The Rustics
Stadium: Havnstadion | Capacity: 75,126
City: Tjusto, Varnland
Rivals: Afoln, Konunsfjord, Drazieu
History: 4 Zentraliga Titles, 2 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 5th, 65 pts
Season II Projection: IFCF Possibility

Background: The Scarlet Ones are known for their class. It's hard to describe, but Tjusto plays with a style that is unique to their club. They have gone through a number of highs and lows, from their golden age in the '50s to their misery in the lower tiers in the '80s. In 1996, the club's fans rejoiced as they made their return to the Zentraliga, where they have stayed ever since. The most recent form of success they have experience was in 2007, when they finally ended a title drought that spanned more than 60 years. Since then, they have been in a state of relative okay-ness. However, it is clear that they are not satisfied with that. The pain of missing out on the trophy was familiar not only to the fanbase, but to the organization itself, and it doesn't want to experience it again. With a moderately successful youth academy, one can only wonder what lies in the Rustics' future.

This Season's Narrative: Tjusto have always teetered between 3rd and 6th since 2016, is this the year they finally change that? Well, probably not. With how the clubs are shaping up so far, it seems as if the Scarlet Ones are more likely to fall down to 7th rather rising up to 2nd. Another, does Martha Sieger finally seal her place as the starting left-back? Despite appearing in the starting eleven numerous times last season, it was still a constant back and forth with Victor Cavaco, a certified Tjusto legend that helped them win the '07-'08 trophy, their first in 62 years. Now that Cavaco is well past his prime and only a couple years away from hanging up the boots, there is no doubt that Sieger is his successor.

Projection: Not much is expected to change with Tjusto compared to last year. Their style of play remains the same but it will also most likely continue to catch out opponents. Phillip Wiedemann's pace on the left and Sigrid Holien's vision on the right gives the Rustics a lot of options when trying to find Matej Scheibel and Manuel Moser in the middle, who are both known to be dangerous with the header. On the defensive side, their full-backs' pace can easily cover any runs on the wings. Tjusto's position between 4th and 7th is hard to predict, especially with Drazieu and Roshavn continuing to be tough competition.

KALDLAKRIS DRAZIEU FC
Image
Manager: Robert Syvertsen, 59 (TJL)
Nickname: The Wolves, Lakeside Fun
Stadium: Wolfsrudel-Arena | Capacity: 64,210
City: Drazieu, Lornfjall
Rivals: Afoln, Tjusto, Vadheim
History: 5 Zentraliga Titles, 1 Forbundets-Pokal Triumph
Season I Rank: 6th, 64 pts
Season II Projection: IFCF Possibility

Background: When a team wins the best league in the country only a year after their inception, you know it's a special side. Kaldlakris Drazieu accomplished that. Ever since then, they've had an interesting history to say the least. They have always been known for being unpredictable. The Wolves have never dominated the Zentraliga for a long time, and as such they aren't always bundled in with the teams most consider to be a threat. Thanks to this, Drazieu have always thrived on being underrated, year after year. Not only that, but they do so with a fun playstyle. Despite them being less and less unpredictable these days, their unique brand of football still allows them to surprise most top clubs. They have one of the youngest starting lineups too, showing how good their scouting can be, even if their youth academy hasn't produced as much top talents as they would've liked.

This Season's Narrative: As mentioned probably two or three times by now, the race for IFCF tournament qualification is tough. Six teams all have a legitimate chance of finishing in the top four, and Drazieu is one of those sides. After a pretty heartbreaking end to last season, the Wolves seek to finish higher this year. Despite only being 28, Elisa Karstensen is still the oldest player in the typical starting eleven, and now she is given the captain's armband after Mathias Faber bid farewell from the sport. Up front, Emil Lindbergh returns after a thigh injury kept him sidelined for the last two months of last season, which seriously hurt Drazieu's IFCF qualification chances.

Projection: No matter what happens, Kaldlakris is still Kaldlakris. Combine their chaotic tactics with typical unpredictability, a tight fight between six clubs, a first-year captain, a recovering striker willing to prove he's still on top of his game, and some typical dumb Drazieu luck, and you'll definitely have a hard time pinning them down. Like Tjusto, their position is probably best predicted with a broad range. Realistically, the Wolves are going to finish somewhere between 4th and 6th.

City: Mauschlag, Bredafort
Rivals: Ascht Amor, Volanger
History: 2 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 7th, 63 pts
Season II Projection: IFCF Reach, Stuck in Limbo

Background: While most fans typically think of Mauschlag as an established Zentraliga side now, back then, not so much. Before the 2000s rolled around, the Red Racers were constantly stuck in the Zekundliga and the Tredjeliga. There were many times when they could've sealed promotion for the first time, yet the opportunities were always wasted. Unfortunately for them, this made them somewhat of a lolcow for quite some time. However, as the millennia changed, so did the Expressionists' luck. In the 1999-00 season, it seemed like Mauschlag got sick and tired of being mocked, since they dominated the Zekundliga. Their status as a lolcow dissipated soon after. Only two years after their promotion, they shocked the Tjorlish footballing world after they won the Forbundets-Pokal. After that win, they've never looked back.

This Season's Narrative: Mauschlag has gradually improved over the years. In th 2010s, they've proved themselves capable of challenging for an IFCF spot. It is no different this time. The Red Racers are also likely to face an issue in midfield and attack pretty soon. With Gabriel Hartmann and Sven Lindgren slowly moving out of their primes, Mauschlag are currently busy trying to find proper replacements. Thankfully, academy products Patrik Anliker and Samira Arnoldi are prepared to succeed the oldest players of the starting eleven. Another question being asked is whether Mauschlag can finally get over the hump and qualify for their first IFCF tournament. If they aspire to do so, then it'll depend on Elisabet Kruse's and Karoline Steinssen's seasons.

Projection: They may be part of the aforementioned six-club squabble, but they are much easier to predict. They aren't as inconsistent as Tjusto or Drazieu, making them less unpredictable. Despite Kruse and Steinssen being two of the best players in the Zentraliga, they will still need quite a bit of help a front. While Filip Engstrom and Michael Koskinen aren't terrible strikers by any means, they are simply outclassed by other team's offenses. This year, many expect them to lag behind in the IFCF race again, most likely finishing 8th.

ROSHAVN SF
Image
Manager: Luca Vieira, 64 (TAC)
Nickname: The Locomotives, the Cobalts
Stadium: Zürner Park | Capacity: 50,609
City: Roshavn, Bonhuizen
Rivals: Tonsvanger, Drueberg
History: 1 Zentraliga Title, 2 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 8th, 60 pts
Season II Projection: IFCF Reach, Stuck in Limbo

Background: Coming from humble origins in the 1910s, Roshavn SF quickly grew to become a well-respected club. As Roshavn was well known back then for the thriving railroad and mining industry, two nicknames emerged for the squad: the Locomotives and the Cobalts. Almost no other team is well-identified through dedicated symbols as much as Roshavn. As for team success, the Locomotives have been hungry for silverware for quite some time, since their last major trophy came in 1995, when they won the Forbundets-Pokal. Despite successful efforts from the Cobalts to always improve their footballing philosophy, they've always been outpaced by other clubs such as Czujon or Drazieu. Now, they rely on the lethal partnership of Ann-Sofie Hansdottir and Miroslav Schnitzer to bring them closer to glory once again.

This Season's Narrative: Looking only at their final rank last season, one could say that the Locomotives had a pretty meh season overall. On paper, they should be able to finish around 4th or 5th, but in reality they only finished 8th. However, the amount of points they amassed tells a whole different story. They did start strong, hovering around third for most of the season's opening half. Unfortunately, the second half was much more cruel to the Cobalts. A number of last-minute equalizers struck against Roshavn, and they paid a steep price. Due to those dropped points, the Locomotives missed out on a IFCF spot. This year, they won't let that happen again. Will they redeem themselves or will this season be as heart-breaking as the last?

Projection: Good news for Roshavn, many predict them to finish higher this season. Bad news, they'll probably only do so by one position. Unless Tjusto or Drazieu somehow slip up or the Locomotives sign more experienced defenders that may give them that vital push, Roshavn will most likely remain below the two. The Cobalts are likely to finish 7th, just above a Mauschlag side which does not look as good as last year.

ASCHT AMOR SC
Image
Manager: Arthur Bredahl, 50 (TJL)
Nickname: The Sailors, the Central Contingent
Stadium: Stadion der Sjomannen | Capacity: 47,860
City: Ascht Amor, Nijunni
Rivals: Czujon, Volanger, Mauschlag
History: 3 Zentraliga Titles, 4 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 9th, 56 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in Limbo

Background: As a relatively young club compared to the rest of the Zentraliga, it's interesting to know that they are more successful than most other Tjorlish sides. Most of their success came in the 1970s, the same decade when they emerged as a newly-formed team (although they did so since they were a phoenix club of a strong Ascht Amor club, 1. FC Ascht Amor). They've slowed down since then, but there have been numerous efforts to try and revive the club. They are also well known for a lot of their youth players, who've went on and become legends for many Zentraliga sides (except for their rivals). In recent years, they have found themselves stuck in the midtable. Despite this, talented players like Rosa Margritte and Jackie Lenz may finally get the Sailors back into the IFCF race soon. Former midfield maestro Arthur Bredahl also breathes a new sense of life into the team as a manager in the present.

This Season's Narrative: In the past five to seven years, the Sailors just can't seem to get themselves out of the middle. It's not that they lack talent, they have plenty of that. It's more on how other teams have better players or have more effective tactics. While Margritte and Lenz are good, you can't just simply rely on them if you want to have a great season. The main question is definitely "Is the supporting cast strong enough to help the Sailors win?". Even if Tobias Tetzlaff and Nelson de Sa are decent players, they are still too inexperienced. Current starting left-back Mikael Jorstad looks close to moving away this season, which will most likely lead to a starting role for Dario ter Veen, who still needs improvement on his pace to keep up with faster wingers. Overall, a number of players need to develop quickly and cement their place soon, something that many fans will be keeping their eye on.

Projection: They won't be challenging Roshavn, Mauschlag, or any other team above them for quite some time. This season marks more of a transitionary period for them, rather than a "proper IFCF challenge" period. The main threats to them keeping their hold on 9th place is a volatile Sud-Saalkirch and an emerging Volanger. Even if their season goes better than expected, many still think that they will finish between 9th and 11th.

Somehow grabbed second place in the 16th U18 World Cup, so that's cool. Football team is a bit wack, basketball team is doing better.

SC SUD-SAALKIRCH
Image
Manager: Rafael Cortes, 49 (TAC)
Nickname: Club Frostbite, the Cherries
Stadium: Frostskader Arena | Capacity: 45,330
City: Saalkirch, Jalmark
Rivals: Kjol, Vestrageid
History: 3 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 10th, 56 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in the Middle

Background: The Cherries have had an up-and-down history. While they have experienced success since the late 1950s in the form of a Forbundets-Pokal victory, they seesaw'd back-and-forth between the top two tiers of Tjorlish football for a couple of decades. In 1992, they managed to achieve promotion in the final matchday of the Zekundliga. However, they struggled to properly make a name for themselves in the Zentraliga for a number of years. Eventually, thanks to the efforts by the players and coach Adrian Feuerwerker in the early 2000s, Sud-Saalkirch has sealed their place in the Zentraliga, finally maintaining more than a decade of top league football. In the present, Club Frostbite is powered by a relatively young squad compared to most other teams. The only player above 30 is Niko Bole, one who helped Sud-Saalkirch win the Forbundets-Pokal over 16 years ago.

This Season's Narrative: Fans don't have a lot to say for Sud-Saalkirch this season. They aren't good enough to contend yet, but they are not terrible to the point where they have to prove their Zentraliga spot through the relegation battle. This year, it is all going to be about the emergence of Sud-Saalkirch's young stars as the old era nears a close after Niko Bole announced his retirement at the end of this season. 21-year old Jason Hammer is set to be the Cherries' next lethal striker, while Tecoian Ezequiel Guimarães looks to integrate his unique style of play into the rigid Sud-Saalkirch system. As for leadership, most expect the defense to lead the way for Sud-Saalkirch, considering that they have the most shared experience amongst the line-up.

Projection: They have a chance of hitting above their weight, since they are one of the more unpredictable sides this season. If all goes well for the new kids in attack and in midfield, Club Frostbite may strike as high as seventh place. However, if it doesn't go well, they can potentially fall to 11th. To keep their predictions safe, many fans think that Sud-Saalkirch are most likely to finish around 9th or 10th.

FC VOLANGER
Image
Manager: Fredrik Huseth, 58 (TJL)
Nickname: The Musicians, the Valkyries
Stadium: Musikerstadion | Capacity: 41,209
City: Volanger, Varnland
Rivals: Konunsfjord, Mauschlag, Nord-Skarlagen
History: 4 Zentraliga Title, 8 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 11th, 55 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in the Middle

Background: While their fall from grace isn't the most tragic in Tjorlish football, it's still quite sad to see where they are right now. They were quite strong in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, winning the Zentraliga in all of those decades. If they didn't finish first, they finished somewhere in the top five. Their name was up there, along with Czujon, Afoln, and Konunsfjord. However, they slowed down in the '70s. After winning the Forbundets-Pokal at the start of the decade, they experienced a 30-year drought in winning silverware. They did return to putting trophies back in the cabinet, however, after winning the Forbundets-Pokal in 2000. Unusually, the Musicians have a better history in the Forbundets-Pokal than in the Zentraliga. Despite signs of good times in the early 2000s, the Valkyries underwent another multi-decade title drought, this time it lasted 20 years. Last season, they shocked the Tjorlish sporting world after taking the Forbundets-Pokal over Konunsfjord, after dealing a shocking blow to defending champions Asurblau Afoln in the semifinals.

This Season's Narrative: Like the Cherries above them, the Valkyries are a pretty young squad. The difference is, they have already proven what they can do in Tjorl's top football competitions. While they aren't looking to challenge for the title this year, their players have the ability to pursue other accolades. Stefan Laverne is Volanger's primary gunslinger, who has the skills to fight for the Skjöldur-Spitzenschützen (top-scorer trophy) once again. If he does win it, he not only has himself to thank, but passing maestros Marina Nystrand and Melanie Weschler as well. As for the position between the sticks, Fredrik Huseth will have a tough time choosing between Alvari Koponen and Roger Olstad, who are both good enough for the first-team.

Projection: Volanger's final position will depend not only on their performance, but on Sud-Saalkirch and Ascht Amor's season as well. On their own, the Musicians are quite predictable, most likely finishing 11th again. However, with how volatile Sud-Saalkirh can be and how Ascht Amor is undergoing a number of changes, the Valkyries have a chance to finish 8th or 9th.

VADHEIM 03 FF
Image
Manager: Frans Zdzisław, 62 (TJL)
Nickname: The Marooned, Goldenchess Corps
Stadium: Arena des Ankers | Capacity: 40,500
City: Frauenbach, Atzerland
Rivals: Drazieu, Norrehavn
History: 2 Zentraliga Titles
Season I Rank: 12th, 49 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in the Middle

Background: Vadheim is one of those teams that just love to pop up every once in a while. Ever since their first major trophy in the form of the 1933-34 Zentraliga, the Marooned and their team image have mostly remained the same over the years. They only make minor changes to the logo, their colors are still the iconic maroon and gold, their kit's pattern have not changed a bit, and they continue to be one of the longest tenured teams in the Zentraliga. Despite being in the top tier for a long time, they haven't always had the squad to contend for the title. Most seasons, they have finished somewhere in the upper midtable. However, this changed in the 2003-04 season. Led by a young Kristoffer Adler, Tjorl's most legendary striker who went on to lead a strong Afoln side in the 2000s and 2010s, Vadheim grabbed a surprise championship, something they have been waited seven decades for. Now, they're back in the midtable once again, but they are always trying to make a return back to the very best.

This Season's Narrative: With a kinda-proven squad and reliable tactics, Vadheim fans know what to expect from the Goldenchess Corps this season. In what may be Albert Skarsgard's last season with the Marooned, can he at least lead the team to a higher level? After showing out in the past few seasons, many rumours have since emerged reporting many teams' interest in the talented striker. Most notably, it's Konunsfjord that looks to be the prime destination for the goal poacher looking for a new challenge. However, Arvi Juvonen can still provide the goals the Corps need when Skarsgard is gone. With Leona Wehinger providing the deadly passes from midfield to attack, Juvonen has the support he needs to emerge as Vadheim's trusted goalscorer.

Projection: They are most likely going to lag behind Sud-Saalkirch and Volanger this season. Despite having decent midfield and attacking units, they still seem unmatched for the tough competition they face above. However, there is a lot of confidence that the Marooned is going to finish above Nord-Skarlagen and Tonsvanger for the second season running. Not where they want to be at Skarsgard's departure, but they really can't do a lot to change it.

1. FC NORD-SKARLAGEN
Image
Manager: Nils Soland, 67 (TJL)
Nickname: The Foresters, the Bowlers
Stadium: Park av Bergtals | Capacity: 38,540
City: Skarlagen, Bredafort
Rivals: Volanger, Norrehavn, Drueberg
History: 0 major titles
Season I Rank: 13th, 48 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in the Middle

Background: While the club itself is quite old, it's only had a few years in the Zentraliga. Before the 2000s, the city of Skarlagen was represented in the Zentraliga by the team Skänfors AC, who weren't the most successful. They've only won one title, which was the 1940-41 championship. After a few more decades of mediocre midtable finishes, the club was relegated in 1995. Skarlagen went without a Zentraliga club for eight years, until Nord-Skarlagen got promoted for the first time in 2003. At first, the team struggled as they went up-and-down the Tjorlish footballing pyramid for a few years. However, things changed in 2011. Newly-hired coach Nils Soland promised to make the Foresters a proper Zentraliga club, a goal which he has achieved. In the early 2010s, Nord-Skalagen dangled over the relegation spots. Then, a massive breakthrough. In 2016, Nord-Skarlagen shocked the league when they achieved a fifth place finish. Now, the city of Skarlagen can say that they have a decent Zentraliga team once again.

This Season's Narrative: Nord-Skalagen's line-up seems secure right now, but that can only last for so long. In the near future, they will have to renew many, many contracts if they want the team to stay intact. Most notably, Edvin Sobolewski looks like he might already be considering options when his contract expires by the end of this season. Fortunately for Sobolewski and unfortunately for Nord-Skarlagen, many teams are interested in the midfielder. Now, their main priority is simply convincing the core that they have currently to stay, to hopefully continue whatever they are doing right. However, with how the team has been stuck in lower midtable the past few years, this might turn into something of a problem for the Foresters.

Projection: Despite the line-up slowly showing signs of cracking, it still a squad that can lead the Bowlers into just above that relegation danger zone. For Nord-Skarlagen, they rely more on their defense than they do on their offense. Their style of "anti-football" may not be the most entertaining for the fans in the stadium or on the couches, but it does work, and if something is working, you don't fix it. Most likely, another low midtable finish for the Foresters, around 12th to 14th.

TONSVANGER FC
Image
Manager: Victor Grünberg, 72 (TJL)
Nickname: The Raiders, the Pines
Stadium: Krigerstadion | Capacity: 35,490
City: Tonsvanger, Bonhuizen
Rivals: Roshavn, Drueberg
History: 0 major titles
Season I Rank: 14th, 44 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in the Middle

Background: Like Nord-Skarlagen, the Raiders haven't had much of a successful Zentraliga history. However, they have been in the top league for about four decades longer. While they aren't one of those really prestigious clubs, they aren't one of the many Tjorlish clubs that have won something in the past, but has since fallen into the lower leagues. They're a club that is yet to win anything and is just... there. Right now, they have a reputation of being a feeder club for bigger teams in the Zentraliga. The Pines have a dadgum-good academy system, and the other teams know it too. Many of Tjorl's greatest players have had a history of either going through the Tonsvanger academy or making a name for themselves for the Raiders. In the present, many prodigies such as Anton Osberg, Lise-Solvej Stepinac, and Adrien Tafelski are lining up to be the next big thing for Tonsvanger, and possibly the rest of the Zentraliga.

This Season's Narrative: Tonsvanger may be dangling a bit too close to the relegation zone for their liking, but they are quite confident that they will survive, due to how the clubs below them might screw up somewhat. As mentioned, Osberg and Stepinac are potential superstars in the future, but they'll have to properly prove themselves first in the starting line-up. Osberg is a pretty good defender, although his pace and his attacking sense does need a bit of work. As for Stepinac, she is very dangerous on the long-ball, but her dribbling will need some improvement. However, they have shown that they improve very quickly, so a lot of fingers are crossed hoping that they can finally emerge as Tonsvanger's leading players.

Projection: Good players on paper, decent tactics as well, what's not to like about this Tonsvanger? They may not be the strongest, but they are good enough to survive relegation for another year. If the rest of the Raiders' defense refine their work this year, they may have a chance of finishing higher than expected. Fans think that they are most likely to finish between 11th and 15th, quite the broad range.

SC DALEN DRUEBERG
Image
Manager: David Boler, 45 (TJL)
Nickname: Team Turquoise, the Eagles
Stadium: Veringstadion | Capacity: 34219
City: Drueberg, Vindelag
Rivals: Roshavn, Nord-Skarlagen, Tonsvanger
History: 1 Zentraliga Title
Season I Rank: 15th, 42 pts
Season II Projection: Stuck in the Middle

Background: If there's any club that knows the definition of "misery" more than anything, it's probably Drueberg. Even the eagle on their badge looks upset. Whether it's missing out on the title on the last day in 1998 or the club's first relegation in five decades in 2009, the Eagles have undeniably gone through a lot. That feeling of misery has died down a bit over the last few years due to some stable years in the Zentaliga, but now they are looking awfully close in re-experiencing it. However, with Erwin Steuri ready to power Drueberg through, Team Turquoise may be able to keep themselves from falling into the relegation zone. Another new face has just arrived to help Drueberg: David Boler, an experienced manager that has been at the helm at some of Tjorlish football's most unbelievable promotion stories, such as Flinthavn FK's in 2014 and 1. FC Dübenborn's in 2018.

This Season's Narrative: It's very clear what the Eagles' biggest priority is for this season. It's to not fall into the Zekundliga. At the very least, don't fall in 17th or 18th. While 16th is still in the relegation danger zone, whoever finishes in 16th has a chance to redeem themselves over two legs against the third-placed squad of the Zekundliga. Of course, the Eagles want to avoid that to begin with. As for personnel storylines, one of the more interesting Drueberg tales to follow this season is Oskar Werich's potential return to the first team. In the last two seasons, Werich suffered a number of leg injuries that kept him sidelined for most of both years. This season, he'll most likely come off the bench more. However, he is looking fine and dandy to prove his name again in the starting eleven.

Projection: Unfortunately for the Eagles, escaping the relegation zone is easier said than done. With Vestrageid hot on their heels this season, Team Turquoise could buckle under the pressure once again. Despite this, a good season from Steuri and Hansreudi Bredahl is a big help to Drueberg's survival chances. Most likely, they'll finish between 15th and 17th. 1.FC Norrehavn might have a tough time overtaking them, but it's not impossible.

VESTRAGEID FC
Image
Manager: Markus Dragić, 49 (TJL)
Nickname: The Scholars, the Gilded Gang
Stadium: Waldseite-Arena | Capacity: 31,920
City: Vestrageid, Jalmark
Rivals: Sud-Saalkirch, Creuzbrück
History: 4 Zentraliga Titles, 4 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 16th, 36 pts
Season II Projection: Relegation Battle

Background: Vestrageid is a tough, tough team to knock down. After their legendary first Zentraliga title in the 1917-18 season, the Scholars have remained in the top flight for more than a century, winning a few more championships along the way. The most famous of these championships is their 2013-14 title, which they snatched under the noses of Czujon and Afoln. Only a few years after that, they're back in the relegation battle. However, they've somehow always escaped to fight another season in the Zentraliga. The closest they have come to falling into the Zekundliga was when they participated in the relegation playoff in 2018. Now, they are close to getting out of the relegation battle, thanks to players such as Marius Vidak and Rosalia Cerqueira. Another, they can definitely rely on their youth academy to produce more talents capable of bringing the Scholars back into where they should be.

This Season's Narrative: The Gilded Gang seem to be cooking up something all summer, and their fans are excited to witness it. After a few seasons of bringing numerous Tredjeliga teams to promotion in the Zekundliga, Markus Dragić finally has his talents recognized by an established Zentraliga side, and he won't wait long to prove his chance. Already, the Scholars have shown what they can accomplish in a number of friendlies. Despite this, many still doubt the capabilities of Dragić's team. Lots of questions regarding how Lucas Teichmüller and Joshua Schuerer will fit into the line-up have been asked, but Dragić has assured time and time again that they are ready to become certified Vestrageid starters.

Projection: Vestrageid's fans have a right to be excited. If everything clicks for Vestrageid, they can jump a few positions this season. Combine that, along with Tonsvanger and Drueberg's numerous problems, then this is the season for the Scholars to overtake them. Like previous years, Marius Vidak is ready to provide around 10-15 league goals for the Gilded Gang, although he might get fewer goals and more assists now that he has Joshua Schuerer at his side up front. Many predict them to finish betwen 14th and 17th

1.FC NORREHAVN
Image
Manager: Manu Andréasson, 60 (TJL)
Nickname: The Raspberries, the Pink Polos
Stadium: Kohlenstoffpark | Capacity: 25,100
City: Norrehavn, Leirhammer
Rivals: Vadheim, Nord-Skarlagen
History: 2 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: 17th, 32 pts
Season II Projection: Relegation Battle

Background: With how Norrehavn has played throughout their history, many have described them as a "less successful Drazieu". A lot of this is connected to their team image. Their logo looks clean, their kits always look cool and fresh, and the way they play is fun to watch. However, one thing isn't fun about Norrehavn's history. For the past few decades, they've bobbled up and down between the top two leagues. This goes for the 2010s too. For the first half of the decade, the Raspberries alternated between Zentraliga and Zekundliga. In the 2016-17 season, they managed to not fall back into the second tier, and they've stayed in the Zentraliga ever since. However, they have come too close to being relegated again. Experienced center-half Valentin Wylenmann and winger Mikael Steffensen lead the way for the Pink Polos at the start of the 2020s.

This Season's Narrative: The Raspberries have a clear target this season: don't get relegated. Last season, they caught a lucky break after Vohlinn SF went on a slump that caused them to fall back into the Zekundliga. Now, they'll have to fully rely on how they perform. Both Vestrageid and Creuzbrück look like teams good-enough to not get demoted, so it's up to Norrehavn to catch up. After having his breakthrough year last season, midfielder Tobi Krzanowski looks to continue to produce for the Raspberries. Fans are also watching how far can Manu Andréasson take the Pink Polos in domestic competitions this season, as there are many rumours saying that there's a large chance that Andréasson gets sacked this year, if Norrehavn keeps on suffering with bad results.

Projection: As said earlier, the relegation battle will be quite close. Thankfully for the Raspberries, they have the players to win out in the battle. Along with the emerging Krzanowski is Zakarias Stadler, a defensive-minded midfielder that you can rely on when the opponent goes on the counterattack. Up front is Hubert Skulason. Not the most lethal goal poacher out there but his versatility serves as a vital tool for Norrehavn. Most fans think that they are going to place somewhere between 15th and 18th.

SC TERNET CREUZBRÜCK
Image
Manager: Peter Lopes, 57 (TAC)
Nickname: The Canaries, the Yellowtunics
Stadium: Nordöster-Park | Capacity: 22,140
City: Creuzbrück, Stohlmer
Rivals: Vestrageid
History: 1 Zentraliga Title, 2 Forbundets-Pokal Triumphs
Season I Rank: Zekundliga 1st, 78 pts
Season II Projection: Relegation Battle

Background: Much like Norrehavn, Creuzbrück has been known as one of the yo-yo clubs throughout Tjorlish football history. It wasn't always like this, however. Success came early in Creuzbrück's history in the form of a Zentraliga at the start of the 1940s. Back then, they were in a fierce rivalry with FK Sieger Creuzbrück, who won a title a decade earlier. With Ternet's shiny new title, the power shifted from one side of the River Isafvogur to the other. Three decades after their first major trophy, Creuzbrück won the Forbundets-Pokal in '70s and '80s. Since then, the Canaries have experienced a ton of trouble in finding the success they once had. They started moving up and down the Tjorlish football pyramid. It's none too different this year. After yet another dominant season in the Zekundliga, they have returned to the Zentraliga. Can they at least slow down this cycle, if they can't stop it completely right now?

This Season's Narrative: As the newly-promoted club on the Zentraliga block, how can Creuzbrück prevent another season of demotion? Unlike previous seaasons, the time is just right for Creuzbrück to survive in the Zentraliga for at least two consecutive seasons. Not the most impressive of goals, but one has to start somewhere. The Canaries' players themselves aren't the best the Tjorlish top league has to offer, but it's their team spirit that is most likely able to get them through this year. Tecoian manager Peter Lopes' abrupt style of rapidly playing on the counterattack and high pressing suits the Yellowtunics very well. However, this will cause a number of issues in defense. Even at age 34, Creuzbrück's defensive line has a huge dependence on Nils Theiler and many wonder how far can he keep up with the much faster offensive firepower of stronger Zentraliga sides.

Projection: Creuzbrück is desperate for a second-straight season in the Zentraliga, but most think it is quite unlikely to happen, at least for now. As said before, the Canaries' issues in defense will have to be solved first before they can win the already-tight relegation battle. However, since their offense gives them a bit of hope, many still think that they can finish above 17th. The most likely scenario is that they'll finish 16th - 18th.

Background - Before the Zentraliga season begins, two teams kick off in the Tjorlish Supercup. While it's not the most competitive cup final of the year, both sides usually don't mind winning some silverware before the start of their Zentraliga campaign. Throughout the Supercup's history, it has been played at a single stadium: the Nasjonalstadion in Kjol. Despite it being the largest stadium in the capital, SF Kjol, the capital's largest and most historic club, has not been a tenant since 1947. However, the Nasjonalstadion still serves as the stadium of the Forbundets-Pokal and Tjorlish Supercup finals.

This Season - After winning the Zentraliga last year, Czujon 022 was the first club to seal its place in the Tjorlish Supercup. A few days later, their opponent in the Supercup sealed their place: FC Volanger. While Volanger finished smack-dab in the midtable, they went on an astounding run all the way to the final of the Forbundets-Pokal final, defeating Czujon along the way. They eventually defeated Konunsfjord 3-2 in an exciting match, a great way to end their season.

FINAL @ Nasjonalstadion, Kjol, K.C.D. | Attendance: 90,260
Czujon 022 SC 2–1 FC Volanger
⚽ Breiner 58', Karjalainen 72' || Laverne 86'

The Crimson Eleven made sure to deny a repeat of a Volanger upset. The first half saw Czujon dominate early, with great passing and many chances. However, they failed to convert in every single one of their opportunities in the half. Johan Kalbfleisch's effort in the 24th minute was the closest Czujon came to a first-half opener when he struck the crossbar from 27 yards out. While the Great Reds didn't find the opener early, they were still the ones to score first. After going on the overlap, Aleksander Kremers crossed the ball to a wide-open Martin Breiner, who finished the play with style. Less than 20 minutes later, Czujon doubled their lead thanks to Erich Karjalainen, who mightily leapt to meet Fabio Sequeira's corner and head it past Alvari Koponen. With only a few minutes left before the final whistle, Stefan Laverne pulled one back after his swerving shot fooled Ralf Lewisohn. However, it still wasn't enonugh to stop Czujon from winning another Supercup. Not a terrible way to start the season for the Great Reds.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 1 - 5

The fans are cheering, the players are practicing, and the match officials are preparing. Few things in the Tjorlish sporting world are as good as the Zentraliga's opening day. Which teams will start on the right foot, which players are going to show out early, and which stories will be written?

MATCHDAY 1

Czujon 022 SC 1-0 SC Ternet Creuzbrück
⚽ Breiner 37'
FC Asurblau Afoln 7-0 1. FC Norrehavn
⚽ Eriksen 10' 47' 58', Olssen 14' 22', Schärer 78', Beringer 86'
Konunsfjord 014 2-0 Vestrageid FC
⚽ Paulsen 59', Vieira 74'
SF Kjol 2-0 SC Dalen Drueberg
⚽ Brändli 6', Geijer 85'
Tjusto FSC 0-0 Tonsvanger FC
Kaldlakris Drazieu FC 1-1 1. FC Nord-Skarlagen
⚽ Escherich 88' || Cabral 45+2'
FC Mauschlag 08 1-1 Vadheim 03 FF
⚽ Hanisch 36' || Skarsgard 28'
Roshavn SF 1-1 FC Volanger
⚽ Hansdottir 65' || Saurer 50'
Ascht Amor SC 0-2 SC Sud-Saalkirch
⚽ Hammer 35' 39'

Team of the Week: GK - Kofod, LB - Amaral, CB - Karjalainen, CB - Kaufer, RB - Corte-Real, CDM - Eidsness, CM - Kirkegaard, CM - Schärer, CAM - Hansdottir, ST - Hammer, ST - Eriksen

Quite an entertaining week. While projected title contenders Czujon and Afoln grabbed all three points, they did so in differing fashion. Martin Breiner decided the match between Czujon and Creuzbrück after scoring the rebound from a parried shot. Meanwhile, Eriksen led the way for Afoln as they routed Norrehavn in what was a perfect performance. As expected, Konunsfjord and Kjol begin their Zentraliga seasons with a win. Drazieu salvaged a point at home against Nord-Skarlagen thanks to a last-gasp 24-yard curler from Veronika Escherich. The rest of the midtable match-ups ended in draws, apart from Ascht Amor versus Sud-Saalkirch. In what is an important game that can set the tone of the midtable battle, Jason Hammer's quick brace led Sud-Saalkirch to victory.

Hammer's performance up front made him worthy of a spot in the Team of the Week. Beside him is Nikolaj Eriksen, whose hat-trick pretty much reserved him a place in the TOTW, while also giving him the perfect start in the race for the Skjöldur-Spitzenschützen. Marianne Kofod also deserves her TOTW selection, after a near-perfect performance against Drazieu. As for the team standings, nothing too crazy can be seen, especially after a number of draws.

MATCHDAY 2

1. FC Norrehavn 1-3 Czujon 022 SC
⚽Skulason 34' || Sondrol 13' 19', Breiner 78'
Vestrageid FC 4-1 SC Ternet Creuzbrück
⚽ Vidak 44' 82', Schuerer 58' 76' || Austrason 3'
SC Dalen Drueberg 0-1 FC Asurblau Afoln
⚽ Eriksen 90+4'
Tonsvanger FC 0-3 Konunsfjord 014
⚽ Lindberg 30' 76', Paulsen 79'
1. FC Nord-Skarlagen 0-2 SF Kjol
⚽ Simões 50', 58'
Vadheim 03 FF 0-5 Tjusto FSC
⚽ Scheibel 8' 33', Moser 50', Rebrović 63', Varvik 72'
FC Volanger 2-2 Kaldlakris Drazieu FC
⚽ Laverne 23', Halonen 47' || Lindbergh 52', Duarte 70'
SC Sud-Saalkirch 1-3 FC Mauschlag 08
⚽ Jotunsdottir 87' || Koskinen 7', Engstrom 16' 39'
Ascht Amor SC 2-1 Roshavn SF
⚽ Lenz 59' 88' || Schnitzer 32'

Team of the Week: GK - Krnić, LB - Steinssen, CB - Aarvold, CB - Karjalainen, RB - Solbakken, CDM - Thomassen, CM - Kaulitz, CM - Abildgaard, CF - Simões, ST - Lenz, ST - Schuerer

The clubs who won last week won again this week, except Sud-Saalkirch. Mauschlag were the ones who handed Sud-Saalkirch their first defeat this season, thanks to their strike partnership of Michael Koskinen and Filip Engstrom. Meanwhile, Drazieu still can't find their first win after having to perform a comeback again, this time from a two-goal deficit. Ascht Amor bounced back this week thanks to Jackie Lenz, who redeemed her horrible first-half performance with two crucial second-half goals, including a volley that gave Ascht Amor a late lead. Afoln also escaped with a late winner after Nikolaj Eriksen scored a brilliant free-kick in the 94th minute, certainly heartbreaking for a Drueberg side that was looking for its first points. Czujon and Vestrageid were convincing in their victories, both dominating possession en route to three points. Lastly, Tjusto snatched the biggest win of the week after a five-goal beatdown of Vadheim, quite a surprising result considering how Vadheim can put up a fight against higher-ranked teams.

Eight players grabbed a brace, but only three of them made the TOTW. First was Mariano Simões, who fueled Kjol to a second victory. Jackie Lenz also grabbed a spot after the aforementioned comeback against Roshavn. Lastly, Joshua Schuerer, who was responsible for half of Vestrageid's goals against Creuzbrück, made the TOTW for the first time in his career. After Matchday 2, Czujon, Afoln, Kjol, and Konunsfjord continue to duke it out up top. Who's gonna trip up first?

MATCHDAY 3

Czujon 022 SC 4-1 Vestrageid FC
⚽ Sondrol 19' 23', Kalbfleisch 55', Westermark 59' || Schuerer 49'
1. FC Norrehavn 3-1 SC Dalen Drueberg
⚽ Skulason 45+1', Krzanowski 60', Thalmann (OG) 84' || Steuri 72'
SC Ternet Creuzbrück 1-2 Tonsvanger FC
⚽ Sciborski 30' || Siminski 5', Stepinac 37'
FC Asurblau Afoln 1-2 1. FC Nord-Skarlagen
⚽ Stiefel 57' || Wachsmuth 12', Sobolewski 43'
Konunsfjord 014 1-1 Vadheim 03 FF
⚽ Wehausen 70' || Juvonen 50'
SF Kjol 3-1 FC Volanger
⚽ Simões 32' 56', Geijer 87' || Laverne 40'
Tjusto FSC 2-3 SC Sud-Saalkirch
⚽ Scheibel 43' 69' || Jotunsdottir 40', Hammer 55', Skaarup 73'
Kaldlakris Drazieu FC 1-0 Ascht Amor SC
⚽ Lindbergh 28'
FC Mauschlag 08 0-1 Roshavn SF
⚽ Haugen 67'

Team of the Week: GK - Steinsson, LB - Bjerregaard, CB - de Freitas, CB - Kotilainen, RB - Janusz, CM - Kalbfleisch, CM - Sequeira, CAM - Santos, LW - Breiner, RW - Geijer, ST - Simões

It was Afoln and Konunsfjord. Despite looking brilliant over the past two matchdays, Afoln were unable to get it going against Nord-Skarlagen, who was able to grab a two-goal lead before halftime. While Finn Stiefel did get one back with a superb solo run, the Striped Blues failed to score an equalizer. As for Konunsfjord, they too fell victim to their opponent snatching the lead before they can. Unlike Afoln however, the Yellowjackets did tie the game again with Eva Wehausen scoring a tap-in. In the other matches, Roshavn finally had their first victory of the season after supersub Robert Haugen decided their match against Mauschlag. Emil Lindbergh was the hero for Drazieu, who also got their first win. The thriller between Tjusto and Sud-Saalkirch was undoutably the best match-up of the week. While Matej Scheibel did his absolute best to power Tjusto through, all three of Sud-Saalkirch's attacking unit was enough to knock out the Scarlet Ones.

Super Simões highlights this week's TOTW. Yet another brilliant brace from the Tecoian pushes the Capital Crew into top of the league, tied with the champions. At the back, Santiago de Freitas is probably the one who deserves his spot the most. His tenacity at the back frustrated Mauschlag all game long, and the Red Racers exited the stadium with frowns on their faces. In the middle is the 19-year old maestro Johan Kalbfleisch, whose passing cut through Vestrageid like it was a hot knife through butter.

MATCHDAY 4

SC Dalen Drueberg 0-0 Czujon 022 SC
Tonsvanger FC 0-0 Vestrageid FC
1. FC Nord-Skarlagen 1-0 1. FC Norrehavn

A surprising week saw the capital's team be the only team to remain flawless. Simões again proves why he is one of the most skilled goal poachers of the Zentraliga with a long-range shot that went past the keeper in a flash. Meanwhile in Drueberg, Martin Breiner and Torstein Sondrol kept being denied by Alois Tollefsruud, who flew like an eagle to parry away almost every shot he faced. As for Tjusto, they were involved in yet another 2-3 show. Fortunately for them, they were on the right side of the scoreline thanks to a Manuel Moser brace. Konunsfjord dropped points again this week; this time they squandered all three. Every attempt of theirs were close, but not enough. A lot of them hit the uprights and the crossbar, while some barely grazed the posts. By the time Maia Siqueira's low shot went past Arnold Sorum, there was not enough time for the Yellowjackets to recover. Concurrently in the city of Volanger witnessed its worst massacre since the Tjorlish unification conquest after Afoln smashed their football team to bits with the help of national team stars Kevin Olssen and Nikolaj Eriksen.

Tollefsruud is chosen to be this TOTW's keeper due to his aforementioned great performance against the reigning champions. Many of the players in the fourth TOTW are from Asurblau Afoln, which doesn't come as a surprise to most fans. While not having the best match of his entire career, Paul Gregersen still deserves his spot in the TOTW thanks to some crucial blocking that saved Sud-Saalkirch's close win against Konunsfjord.

After putting in some good games over the past few matchdays, Albert Skarsgard had his best yet this season after a perfect hat-trick against Vestrageid. Spin-move into a left-foot goal in the 30th, towering leap to head the ball in the 63rd, and an amazing right-footed free-kick in the 69th. What more to ask? As for Czujon, Torstein Sondrol converted a penalty and scored an absolute screamer to give the Great Reds their fourth win in five matches. Meanwhile in the capital, Filip Engstrom's 38th-minute volley ended Kjol's run. Creuzbrück ended their losing streak with a strong 3-1 victory over Sud-Saalkirch, which included what might be the most hilarious goal of the season so far. In 86th minute Karl Austrason saw himself open enough to get off a shot, and so he did. However, the ball struck the underside of the crossbar. When Arnold Sorum turned around to see where the ball went, it flew right into his face and rebounded into the net, making it an own goal for the poor goalkeeper, who was fine despite being struck in the nose. In Afoln's match against Ascht Amor, Nikolaj Eriksen scored his sixth to keep up with Sondrol and Skarsgard in the top scorer's race. Lastly, Nord-Skarlagen quietly rose up the rankings after another victory, this time against Drueberg, who were still trying to get out of their terrible form.

Stefan Johanssen is the TOTW's keeper for the first time this season, while his teammates Mathias Schärer and Kevin Olssen both make their second appearance for the squad. Skarsgard obviously makes the team with a perfect hat-trick under his belt. Despite Norrehavn not being able to separate itself from Volanger, Rajmund Grämer still grabs a place in the TOTW. After Matchday 5, there are a lot of things to think about after looking at the rankings. Will Drueberg recover in their upcoming games, will Nord-Skarlagen continue to sneak their way up the field, and can Ascht Amor stop losing to separate themselves from the relegation zone? While Tjusto and Vadheim seem to have top-class attacking, their defense has been the main obstacle in them climbing up the Zentraliga ladder. Meanwhile, the race for the Skjöldur-Spitzenschützen continues to be tight, with three players tied with six goals in five games. Defending top scorer Kevin Olssen is currently "third" with four goals in his Zentraliga account.

Somehow grabbed second place in the 16th U18 World Cup, so that's cool. Football team is a bit wack, basketball team is doing better.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 6 - 9

The race at the top is still close, with five teams only a win behind current leaders Czujon. As for the relegation battle, many teams are still trying to find their form. Can Drueberg and Volanger find their first victories this season in the next few games? Lastly, which goal-poacher will find themselves frontrunners for the Skjöldur-Spitzenschützen?

Matchday 6 was full of predictable results; the closest any game was to being an "upset" was Tjusto's victory over Kjol. Drazieu's form continued to suffer after Konunsfjord had a field day at the Wolfsrudel-Arena. Artur Paulsen looked very lively during the Yellowjackets' set pieces, leading him to grab a brace. The other 0-4 beatdown of the week happened in Mauschlag, as it was Kevin Olssen who led FC Sensational to their fifth victory. Meanwhile at the Arena des Ankers, the Vadheim supporters were absolutely superb. Before kick-off, fans unfurled a huge tifo depicting the Vadheim skyline, truly a work of art. They were rewarded during the match as the Goldenchess Corps prevailed in a 4-2 thriller against Tonsvanger, which was fueled by two more braces. As for current leaders Czujon, they had to work hard to snatch all three points against Nord-Skarlagen. After a late Martin Forsman equalizer, the Great Reds only had eight minutes to take the win. Fortunately for them, Aleksander Kremer's blistering long-range effort pierced through the defense at the last, saving the victory.

Stefan Johanssen easily books his spot in the TOTW after an amazing goalkeeping exhibition against a lively Mauschlag attacking unit. The tough Eduard Rebrović also had a field day in his game, making him the centerpiece of this TOTW's defensive line. Lastly, with numerous players able to grab two goals, three of them made the squad: Kevin Olssen, Artur Paulsen, and Arvi Juvonen. Time to go into Matchday 7 after what was a pretty "meh" week of Zentraliga football.

Team of the Week: GK - Tollefsruud, LB - Dahler, CB - Kaufer, CB - Griessen, RB - Corte-Real, CDM - Frandsen, CM - Halonen, CM - Krzanowski, CF - Siminski, ST - Eriksen, ST - Hammer

What a run it has been so far for Afoln, who take yet another victory. That, along with Czujon slipping up for the second time, means FC Sensational are on top of the league once again. Their victim this week was Tjusto, whose strikers attempted to keep the game close. However, Nikolaj Eriksen had himself another classy performance, scoring twice and assisting once. Title rivals Czujon started out well and were looking to secure maximum points after Torstein Sondrol's low-driven volley beat Jack Askeland. Unfortunately for them, Eva Oberg's cheeky chip put the game back at square one against the run of play. As for the other games, Grünerfluss Park was the host of a heavyweight bout between Konunsfjord and Kjol. Eva Wehausen set the tone early, then Marina Klugmann was composed when converting a 58th-minute penalty, dealing the final blow. Drazieu finally ended their cold spell, although they have Davide Koivu to thank. A dangerous corner by Annie Euler was headed the wrong way by Koivu, into his own net. Drueberg was another team to add 1 in their win column after Erwin Steuri decided the game with a shot that beat the keeper at the near post.

Another important clean sheet, another TOTW selection for Alois Tollefsruud. Up front, Nikolaj Eriksen and Jason Hammer find themselves at a familiar spot, after both of them scored yet another double. Despite Norrehavn only mustering a draw, Tobi Krzanowski's enterprising passing from back to front shows why he is in this week's TOTW. Onto Matchday 8!

What. A. Day. Even if you just look at the score lines, you can immediately tell something didn't go as planned for the Crimson Eleven. Unbelievably, Volanger put SIX through the typically-solid Czujon defense. The star of the match was definitely Stefan Laverne. Free-kick, rebound, header. A great hat-trick for the 25-year old. This match also gave Konunsfjord fans a lot to laugh about, despite a defeat of their own at the hands of Afoln. Nikolaj Eriksen was the engine of Afoln's attack was again, with another double, making it 11 goals in only 8 matches. Another remarkable score line occurred at the Traerstadion. Normally, massacres are extremely illegal in Tjorl but for some reason, SF Kjol were allowed to absolutely smash Creuzbrück by seven goals. When Drazieu supporters thought they were finally back at their feet, they're wrong (for now) as Marius Vidak's header was the goal that gave the math to Vestrageid. Lastly, Norrehavn has super sub Luka Truelsen to thank after he contributed to their comeback against Tjusto, a vital victory that put them outside of the relegation zone as of Matchday 8.

Due to their aforementioned performances, Eriksen and Laverne were placed in this week's TOTW with zero doubt whatsoever. Mariano Simões' selection was also easy to make. Despite a number of good performances, particularly from Stefan Johanssen, Robin Klosinski's vital display against a desperate Drazieu side makes him the designated keeper of the TOTW.

Team of the Week: GK - Lewisohn, LB - Herzig, CB - de Freitas, CB - Karjalainen, RB - Solbakken, CM - Kirkegaard, CM - Siqueira, CAM - Hansdottir, LW - Olssen, RW - Aguiar, ST - Paulsen

Another week, another dominant victory for FC Sensational. Right now, it looks like no team even comes close to Afoln. Stellar attacking plays based on smart passing and aggressive pressing is their offense's tactical bedrock, and fans saw it again in the game against Creuzbrück. As for defending champions Czujon, they've bounced back in not-so-convincing fashion against a Sud-Saalkirch side who were also trying to return to winning ways. The Great Reds' goals were clustered near the halftime whistle, both before and after. After not scoring in the previous two games, Artur Paulsen returned to adding to his Zentraliga account after putting in a hat-trick against Norrehavn. Even with the defeat, Norrehavn stays just two points above the danger zone as Tonsvanger is defeated by Drazieu. The most fun match to watch this week is probably Vadheim versus Roshavn; seven goals, two braces, energetic offenses, and aggressive defenses, not much more to ask for. Despite numerous interesting results and incredible individual performances, two matches ended in goalless draws, hardly top-tier Zentraliga quality.

Watch how he played against the Cherries, and you'll understand why Ralf Lewisohn is selected for Matchday 9's TOTW. He was brilliant in the one-versus-one situations, managing to thwart the attack every time. Paulsen's week needs no further explanation, while typical substitute Vicente Aguiar makes the TOTW after what was another unexpected brace.

While most matches fell in favor of the higher-ranked team, one match stands out straight away. Mauschlag 08 seemed to be unable to find their mojo as they struggled immensely against Zekundliga side SC Coeneuzen. The Red Racers managed to take the game into extra time thanks to a last-minute header from Alesso Riederer, but Coeneuzen still emerged victorious after the extra half hour. No team is safe in the Forbundets-Pokal, not even the defending champions. FC Volanger were eliminated early after being unlucky enough to draw another Zentraliga squad, Kaldlakris Drazieu. Despite it being tied at the end of the first 90 minutes, Drazieu scored three goals in only 11 minutes to end Volanger's title defense in the first round. Earlier, it was said that Vadheim 03 is the most likely to be the Zentraliga club to underperform yet again. However, it seems that they have proved that statement wrong (for now) as they handily dispatched Energie Verzuckt. Who will be the next Zentraliga sides to fall, which underdog squads will continue their run?

Somehow grabbed second place in the 16th U18 World Cup, so that's cool. Football team is a bit wack, basketball team is doing better.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 10 - 13

Afoln is starting to pull away; can Czujon make up some ground? Can Vadheim retain their position, and will Drazieu recover from their slump? Meanwhile at the bottom, will either Drueberg or Creuzbrück escape the automatic relegation spots? Lastly, will Nikolaj Eriksen keep up his tremendous form at the top of the scoring charts?

Team of the Week: GK - Fjerstad, LB - Sieger, CB - Rebrović, CB - Kaufer, RB - Jakhelln, CM - Thomassen, CM - Kjelland, CAM - Soares, LW - Lehtinen, RW - Olssen, ST - Sciborski

This matchday was marked by lots of draws and lots of beatdowns. Czujon dropped points yet again this week, a painful setback for them. On the other side of the title race, Afoln unsurprisingly won convincingly again. Unfortunately for Vestrageid, they were the ones who had to face FC Sensational this week. Meanwhile in the relegation zone, Annina Sciborski leads the Canaries to the crucial three points with a perfect hat-trick. Due to this, they were also to make up some ground on Drueberg, who lost to Konunsfjord. Manuel Moser and Matej Scheibel makes Tjusto's 5-goal win look so easy with their delicious passing and extraordinary finishing against Nord-Skarlagen. Meanwhile at the Wolfsrudel-Arena, Drazieu snatched a last-minute draw thanks to Veronika Escherich's desperate final-second effort. Mauschlag and Volanger cooked up some spicy draws, while the game Roshavn and Sud-Saalkirch didn't end with a clear after both defensive lines stood strong at the back. Lastly, it's business as usual for Kjol as they take care of Tonsvanger easily.

Ralf Fjerstad receives the honor of being this week's TOTW after an incredible saving masterclass against Norrehavn. Up front, Sciborski's aforementioned efforts earned her a guaranteed spot in the team. In between defense and attack, Jan Thomassen, who passed magnificently against Tonsvanger, captains the midfield. Lastly, Eduard Rebrović and Franz Kaufer are easy picks for this TOTW's defensive unit.

A lot of interesting results this week, but none more so than Tonsvanger slaying Afoln. While the Striped Blues did receive the chances that many expected them to receive, their shots were consistently off the mark during the match. With only six minutes left in a game that Afoln felt so frustrated in, Robin Lexer found just enough space to release an absolute screamer from 28 yards out to give Tonsvanger the crucial late lead that they won't lose. This allowed Czujon to make up some ground in the title race, which they certainly did with a strong 3-1 home win against Roshavn. Just below the main title favorites, Konunsfjord continued their hot streak as they threatened the goal from all sides of the attacking third with all sorts of different methods against a hapless Nord-Skarlagen side. As for Kjol, they had to work harder for their three points. Mariano Simões proved to be their hero once again with a header that came off the underside of the crossbar. Meanwhile at the bottom, Drueberg prevailed over Creuzbrück in a crucial relegation match-up.

Marianne Kofod deservedly gets her second TOTW selection of the season after her clean sheet against the deadliest attack in the league. Unlike in previous matchdays, not a single player was able to put in a brace. Starlets Lise-Solvej Stepinac and Tobi Krzanowski were the engines in their team's victories this week, explaning their inclusion in the squad.

Team of the Week: GK - Lewisohn, LB - Amaral, CB - Cardoso, CB - Mathiasen, RB - Koivu, CDM - Guimarães, CM - Kalbfleisch, CM - Persson, CAM - Beringer, ST - Schnitzer, ST - Hammer

After their loss last week, current title-leaders Afoln made sure to keep their distance from Czujon as they took maximum points against Vadheim. Izabel Corte-Real's goal was something special, as her 29-yard free-kick deceivingly curled past the wall and keeper Jack Askeland, taking everyone by surprise. Knowing FC Sensational will try their hardest to bounce back, Czujon kept close in the title race with a win over Mauschlag thanks to Martin Breiner's composure converting his penalty in the 12th minute. Another team who bounced back this week were Creuzbrück, as their win against Nord-Skarlagen increased their point tally to nine, tying them with fellow relegation candidates Drueberg, who drew against Vestrageid due to a last-minute Marius Vidak header. More games in the IFCF qualification race occurred this week, with Roshavn, Tjusto, Sud-Saalkirch, and Konunsfjord grabbing much needed triumphs.

Ralf Lewisohn's performance against Mauschlag was near-perfect. His highlight of the game came in the 55th minute, when he threw up a big hand to deny what was a near-certain goal from Michael Koskinen. Up front, while this week's versions of Nikolaj Eriksen and Albert Skarsgard were good, this week's Jason Hammer and Miroslav Schnitzer were better.

While most matches this week were extremely close, one fixture undeniably sticks out like a sore thumb. Not only did Vadheim shockingly lost by five goals, they didn't even do so against a top Zentraliga side. Instead, it was Norrehavn who absolutely embarassed the Marooned in their own backyard. As for current top-two squads Czujon and Afoln, their victories were both hard-fought; Czujon's goals against an underwhelming Drazieu side were both bobbled in after desperate scrambles, while Afoln were constantly threatened by Sud-Saalkirch's dangerous attacking plays. Meanwhile, Ascht Amor ended Konunsfjord's hot streak as Danijel Vogelstein's own goal was inflicted the damage in the Yellowjackets' first loss since Matchday 8. Another, Mauschlag just cannot get out of their slump as they once again leave the stadium with zero points taken. Nord-Skarlagen's cold streak also continued as their seventh loss in eight games was due to Vestrageid's aggression in both attack and defense. Lastly, Kjol were the ones who came out on top at Zürner Park thanks to Mariano Simões, whose brace once again tipped the scales in the Capital Crew's favor.

While Ralf Lewisohn had yet another good game, Stefan Johanssen was the one to be selected in this week's TOTW due to his performance against the aforementioned dangerous Sud-Saalkirch offense. Of course, a number of Norrehavn's players, such as Tobi Krzanowski and Hubert Skulason were also picked in the TOTW. At the back, Ascht Amor's Mauricio Correia leads the way after an inspiring defensive exhibiton against Konunsfjord.

Not a lot of major upsets this week. Despite the elimination of many lower-league sides, a lot of them fought hard as most were only decided by a single goal. This round's Zentraliga early exit award goes to Vestrageid, commiserations to them. They were unfortunate to draw Afoln in just the second round, not an ideal match-up for any team. Besides that, most matches usually went the way of the team with the higher rank, which was unfortunate for many neutrals. SF Kjol nearly suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Nasjonaligaer Süd side FC Arhälla 02, who took them all the way to penalties. However, the Tangerines' supporters were able to breath a sigh of relief as Kjol's experience and composure proved crucial in the shoot-out. With only 32 teams remaining in the next round, will most of the remaining lower-league sides fall, or can more of them pull off unexpected wins?

Somehow grabbed second place in the 16th U18 World Cup, so that's cool. Football team is a bit wack, basketball team is doing better.

Both sides of the title race are about to have a busy set of matches to be played: Czujon is going up against Tjusto, Kjol, and Konunsfjord while next on Afoln's calendar are Roshavn, Drazieu, and Kjol. After those, the two giants are going to clash at the Mandlstadion. Who will come out on top of the Zentraliga at its halfway mark? Meanwhile, both the midtable and relegation battles remain close. With every win extremely crucial, which teams have the ability to take their chance?

After matchday 14, all four teams on top of the league remained where they already were. Afoln, Czujon, and Konunsfjord grabbed challenging victories, while Kjol was unable to muster nearly anything against Kaldlakris Drazieu. At the Morsteinstadion, Afoln were constantly laboured throughout the match by the Locomotives. It eventually took a blunder from Rafn Pettersson for Nikolaj Eriksen to find the time and space he needed to convert with his right foot, giving Afoln the 2-1 lead after previously going down 0-1. Meanwhile, Czujon were also having a hard time against Tjusto, who kept on scaring the defending champions' supporters on the counterattack. However, a late surge from the Great Reds sealed the much-needed three points. As for Konunsfjord, a late header from Paul Mathiasen was the goal they needed to take the home victory against Mauschlag. Lastly, the two remaining midtable sides in Ascht Amor and Sud-Saalkirch had very different experiences this week. While Ascht Amor fell victim to Gabriel Böhnisch, who was left unmarked as he received Marcel Lehtinen's pullback cross, Sud-Saalkirch has Jason Hammer to thank once again. The star striker seized the early chances unintentionally given to him by Norrehavn's defense, which resulted in his brace.

No arguments regarding Hammer's selection this week as he was undeniably brilliant. However, the rest of the field was much harder to pick. Out of all the keepers that had themselves a tremendous day between the sticks, it was Martin Krnić who was chosen for this week's TOTW. In the midfield, starlet Johan Kalbfleisch's two assists this matchday made him the one to trust in the middle.

Three major rivalries highlight this week's set of fixtures. First, it's Czujon up against Kjol. Despite both teams being known for their attacking prowess, it was their tough defenses that characterized the first half. However, things changed after the reset. Torstein Sondrol opened the scoring in the 55th minute, but this was matched by Mariano Simões only eight minutes later. The two sides looked like they both have to settle for a draw until Sondrol struck again with only three minutes of normal time remaning, causing the Czujon supporters to cheer at full volume. Next was Tjusto versus Konunsfjord. Unlike in Czujon's match, the game didn't take long before someone snatched the lead; in this fixture, it was Konunsfjord who led first. Despite the Yellowjackets' lead, the game was still as far as it can be from having a dominant team. Like the preceding half, the second period also an early goal to start off; this time, it was the Rustics. With the teams still tethered together, it was going to take something special to break the deadlock, and that something arrived in the form of Manuel Moser. His two goals in four minutes was what Tjusto needed to push themselves over Kjol. The third rivalry of the day was between Drazieu and Afoln. While the two aforementioned matches were close, it was a different story at the Wolfsrudel-Arena. Nikolaj Eriksen displayed why he is currently considered to be the most lethal goalscorer in the Zentraliga with a classy hat-trick against a hapless Drazieu squad. Beside the three rivalries and Mauschlag's convincing win over Creuzbrück, the rest of the fixtures all ended at a draw.

Like last week, it didn't take a lot of thinking to figure out which strikers had to be in this week's TOTW. Considering how Erich Karjalainen just seemed to intercept any pass Kjol tried to make in the final third, most can see why he was selected. Afoln left-back Anja Markussen makes her appearance in the TOTW thanks to her tremendous defending of the left flank, pocketing normally-reliable creator Annie Euler.

Despite looking like they were continue to build their lead on top of the Zentraliga, Afoln dropped points that they shouldn't have dropped. What makes this even more painful is that they did so against Kjol, their most-hated rivals. After Mikael Kirkegaard's long-range effort beat Stefan Johanssen, the usually loud Morsteinstadion suddenly went silent. Then, a lot of boos towards the Capital Crew. No matter how much the Afoln supporters tried to put Kjol off their game, the away side was able to cling onto their lead. Meanwhile for Czujon, they were also facing their bitter rivals, Konunsfjord, in the Fjordderby. In what might be the fiercest match of the season so far, Martin Breiner had a field day; his brace fueled the Crimson Eleven to a statement away win against their rivals. Besides the aforementioned fixtures, most games were decided by a single goal. The most notable of these victories might be Sud-Saalkirch's. Due to their win this week, they were able to climb up the rankings and inch closer to the top four. Drazieu too finally started to wake up as Veronika Escherich keeps on being the deciding factor in their games.

Matchday 16's TOTW is probably the hardest to form so far this season. Not because of how so many players had amazing performances but because of how "meh" the individual performances were this week. Except for Martin Breiner. The most debatable selection of this week is probably Jack Askeland's, as there were at least five other goalkeepers that had a convincing case for a TOTW selection. Most of this team is made up of players from Czujon, and for good reason. The Great Reds played against Konunsfjord like a well-oiled machine. They were dominant in defense, dizzying in the middle, and clinical up front.

Whoa. Quite the crazy week. Of course, we have to start with Czujon's match-up against Afoln. The clash of the title contenders. Who's gonna come out on top? Answer: neither of them. Throughout the game they looked evenly matched, on the box score they looked evenly matched, and the final score of two-all says that they were evenly matched. Eriksen, Breiner, and Sondrol just had to score in the game, while Izabel Corte-Real cooked up something special as her free-kick sailed into the net. At the end of the day, they remain tied on points, with Afoln only ahead on goal difference (by a lot, too). Next fixture to talk about is Konunsfjord versus Creuzbrück. Going into this game, it isn't hard to reason why most fancy Konunsfjord over Creuzbrück. However, Creuzbrück would upset the odds in crazy fashion. FIVE goals against a pretty solid defense. Despite Konunsfjord nearly tying the game as Artur Paulsen clattered the upright in the 87th minute, Martinho Carreira's 90th-minute chip sealed the shocking 3-5 win for the newly-promoted side. Last really crazy scoreline of the day goes to Sud-Saalkirch's 5-1 bombardment of Volanger. Unsurprisingly, it's Jason Hammer providing the goals once again with a dadgum-good hat-trick. His three goals also put him level with Sondrol on the top scorer charts with 15.

Only two goalkeepers really showed out this week: Mauschlag's Ruben Viitanen and Ascht Amor's Viktor Vuorela. Out of these two, Vuorela takes the acclaim for this week as not only did he keep typically-lethal Albert Skarsgard and Vadheim at bay, but he also had massive contributions in Ascht Amor's progression up the field. On the opposite end of the pitch, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see Hammer and Annina Sciborski here; they were the goal poachers to lead their respective clubs to important victories.

In the final round before the round of 16, all remaining Zentraliga teams continued to flex some muscle as they all progressed through the third round. If you like underdogs, then you might want to look away. Out of the 18 lower league clubs that participated in the third round, only two weren't eliminated, and they did so by eliminating lower league sides themselves. Despite this, a number of top-tier teams seemed to experience quite some trouble. Most notably, Nord-Skarlagen needed extra-time to separate themselves from Nasjonaligaer squad Adler Staiceni. Another Zenraliga team that needed extra time to eliminate their Nasjonaligaer opponents was Tonsvanger; they needed a 101th-minute header to finally grab the lead they wanted. Lastly, Vadheim advanced by the skin of their teeth as 1. FC Afoln's tenacious defending took them to penalties. However, it doesn't matter how they do it, what matters is that they do. Can either Kirchzis 02 or Energie Karlsund continue to survive past the round of 16? What exciting match-ups might we get in the round of 16?

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 18 - 21

With half of the 34 games played, both the title and relegation battles are as tight as ever. However, Konunsfjord and Kjol are currently seeing themselves starting to pull away from the rest of the upper midfield in the IFCF qualification race. As the past few matchdays have shown, the midtable tends to change a whole lot. While many know that there isn't a lot separating the top four sides, the position of the have so far alternated less than what they expected or hope for, Which teams will rise in the rankings and which teams will fall? Can Nikolaj Eriksen retain his substantial lead in the top scorers' race?

Neutrals backing underdogs will want to skip matchday 18 as nearly all powerhouses that were expected to win did win. The only exception is Kjol, who just couldn't find their mojo. Hitting the post, grazing the bar, parried by the keeper, cleared by the defenders; Drueberg played defense with tenacity that day which showed on the final scoreline. As for the title contenders, neither is gaining a foot ahead just yet. As most predicted, Afoln wiped the floor with Norrehavn as this time it was Finn Stiefel grabbing the brace. It was the same story for Konunsfjord, who found themselves with four different scorers for the first time this season. Czujon's match was more closely contested, however. Despite a quick first half start for the Crimson Eleven, Creuzbrück kept up their enterprising attacking play, eventually pulling one back. Thankfully for Czujon's supporters, the Great Reds were still able to wrap up all three points. The week was also characterized by a number of entertaining midtable bouts. Mauschlag's deadly dynamic duo of Filip Engstrom and Michael Koskinen were again the players to rely on. Meanwhile, two fixtures were decided by a single goal, but of contrasting fashion. In Roshavn's victory over Volanger, spectators had to wait until ten minutes remained in normal time to see an opening goal, which was brilliantly scored by Santiago de Freitas as he unleashed from distance. As for Ascht Amor's match-up against Sud-Saalkirch, an early converted one-versus-one play by Jackie Lenz remained the only goal on the scoresheet.

As both Roshavn and Volanger were constantly launching shots that threatened the net, it was Brigitte Brand that kept denying Volanger any chances they had to either take the lead or equalize. Up front, there is no debate in Engstrom and Veronika Escherich's place in the TOTW. Their cool and composed finishing, especially just after receiving a lofted pass or a curling cross, justifies their selection. Lastly, Mathias Schärer is in the TOTW once again thanks to his hat-trick of assists that gave Afoln the upper hand in their beating of Norrehavn.

Much like the previous week, one of the current top four clubs unexpectedly dropped points. This matchday, it was Czujon, who fell victim to a rapid Norrehavn who were lethal on the counter-attack. The Crimson Eleven's defeat gave Afoln the chance to retake top spot for themselves once again. Thanks to a sublime free-kick from Kevin Olssen, FC Sensational did retake the lead in the standings. Despite Drueberg's defeat to the league leaders, they remained on top of relegation candidates Nord-Skarlagen and Tonsvanger as these clubs were also outmatched in their fixtures against Konunsfjord and Kjol respectively. In between the title and relegation battles, Vadheim continue to suffer a cold spell after yet another embarrassing defeat, this time at the hands of a Tjusto side who took their time progressing up the field and finding their opportunities. Meanwhile at the Park am Neumark, the fans cheered at the sight of Michael Koskinen's double, which led Mauschlag over Sud-Saalkirch. One of his goals has great potential to be goal of the season. With the space basically gifted to him, Koskinen decided to shoot from quite a distance. Unbelievably, his rocket of a shot swerved to the left and then to the right, leaving Arnold Sorum hopeless to at least deflect it out of bounds.

While the players up front were Norrehavn's stars in their win over Czujon, goalkeeper Christoph Hansch still has to be given top marks for what was a really good display between the sticks. In front of him, the team's defensive line is consisted of four players from four different clubs. No team other Tjusto clearly stood out this week, explaining why so many teams are featured in this week's TOTW. As for the squad's offensive firepower, Manuel Moser and Michael Koskinen are undoubtably the players to pick.

When Martin Breiner scored the penalty that doubled Czujon's lead over Vestrageid, most thought that there was zero chance that the Scholars were pulling themselves back. Against all the odds, however, Vestrageid managed to salvage a point against the defending champs. A humbling moment for Czujon, but they have Afoln to relate with. Surprisingly, Afoln too managed to choke their lead against relegation candidates against the run of play. The bottlejobs were actually a main theme of matchday 20. Five of the fixtures showed leads that weren't held until the final whistle, resulting in some dropped points. The most painful of these squandered advantages was Volanger's. The Musicians had Kjol right where they wanted them after Stefan Laverne got his second goal of the day. Unfortunately for them, the dynamic of the fixture would quickly tip in the Capital Crew's favor. While Mariano Simões sliced the deficit back to one less than ten minutes after Laverne's brace, it took an additional 40 minutes to equalize. Starlet Solveig Nicolaisen later completed the comeback after Alvari Koponen failed to reach her low shot.

Arnold Sorum bounced back from his poor performance last week with an superb one this week. Sud-Saalkirch were caught on the counter a couple of times, but Sorum was constantly there to thwart enemy offensives. Speaking of offense, Martin Breiner finds himself in the TOTW once again despite his team's disappointing draw. The same goes for Kevin Olssen, who kept dancing around Nord-Skarlagen's full-backs with dizzying dribbling and pacey feet.

After two matchdays to learn from, Czujon finally lived up to expectations with an important 2-0 win over Drueberg. Seeing this, title rivals Afoln proceeded to... draw with Volanger. They were extremely frustrated all afternoon trying to score the opener, which later came thanks to a desperate toe-poke by Ema Medeiros. It didn't help that Volanger was playing with a lot of aggression that day. Twelve minutes after the fixture's first goal, Stefan Laverne tied it all up after a brilliant dribbling display en route to a cool finish. Below them, Kjol grabbed a statement victory over Ascht Amor thanks to crucial first-half goals while Konunsfjord had to rely on super-sub Felix Vieira's 28-yard screamer to steal maximum points under Sud-Saalkirch's noses. In the midtable, Vadheim supporters had a lot of reason to be sad after another 4-0 defeat, this time to newly-promoted side Creuzbrück, marked their fifth defeat in the previous five games, not a statistic that they'd want to remain. Meanwhile, Veronika Escherich's late brace, consisting of a header and a deflected shot that bounced luckily, powered Drazieu to their ninth win of the season as they recovered from their poor start. 21 matchdays since the start of the season, most surprises can be seen the further down the table. Volanger and Vadheim's terrible forms have prevented them from retaining or even improving their positions in previous weeks. One spot below, Creuzbrück continue to live up to the Zentraliga pressure.

Not much to say about this matchday's TOTW. Creuzbrück's players are definitely the highlight of this team, certainly a rare statement to make. After not making last matchday's TOTW, Solveig Nicolaisen has zero competition in attacking midfield thanks to her goal and assist combo that helped knock out Ascht Amor. Another young star making the TOTW was Johan Kalbfleisch, who didn't score but was the provider in both of Czujon's goals in their 2-0 triumph. Lastly, Drazieu definitely has Elisa Karstensen to thank as her leadership and skill in locking down Michael Koskinen led the Wolves to a vital victory.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 22 - 25

Despite Afoln's brilliance on both sides of the pitch, Czujon is still hot on their heels as neither team is pulling away in the title race just yet. Meanwhile, can any of the upper midfield teams catch up in the race for IFCF qualification? How about Vadheim, can they finally break free from their cold spell and score some crucial points? At the bottom, the relegation battle is just as close as the race up top. Will we see the same relegation candidates by end of Matchday 25 or will some of them rise to the occasion and pull themselves out of the danger zone?

Most of the teams that typically win were denied on Matchday 22. First, Nikolaj Eriksen's goal wasn't enough for Afoln to separate themselves from Ascht Amor as Mauricio Correia was left wide open, enabling him to head the ball after a great delivery from Rosa Margritte. Next was Czujon. Throughout the first half, the Crimson Eleven just can't seem to get a shot on target. If any did fly towards goal, it was easily caught by the keeper. However, the dynamic changed as soon as the second half started as Torstein Sondrol was quick to react when a deflected cross fell at his feet. Against the run of play, Rafael Gronseth was able to release an absolute corker from 30 yards out, equalizing for Tonsvanger at 1-1, surprising Czujon's concrete-like defensive line. Meanwhile in Mauschlag, the hosts got off to an ecstatic start thanks to a skilled finish from Jose Braga. Mariano Simões had a day to forget; he was unable to get off a single shot on target nor was he able to make any meaningful impact up front. Despite all these entertaining scorelines, none beats Drazieu's captivating victory against Tjusto. One for Escherich, two for Lindbergh, and all three points for the Wolves in front of their fans and against their most heated rivals. Tjusto supporters should probably skip looking at social media for the week since the Tjorlish football community is not going to be nice to them.

While Simões wasn't too much of a threat, Ruben Viitanen still had Anna-Lisa Geijer and Solveig Nicolaisen to keep at bay, which he was successful at. A deserved spot in the TOTW for the Mauschlag keeper. Unsurprisingly, this week's squad is filled with Drazieu players. Natasja Jotunsdottir's skill in providing striker Jason Hammer with heaven-sent opportunities earns her a TOTW selection.

Matchday 23 was definitely the attackers' day. Nikolaj Eriksen dominated Afoln's fixture against Mauschlag in typical Eriksen fashion. His hat-trick arrived thanks to his exceptional positioning that day, constantly locating poorly defended spaces on which to pounce upon. Concurrently in Vestrageid, Marius Vidak was the hero of the hour after his brace in six minutes helped Vestrageid steal a vital home triumph. Besides the already mentioned Eriksen and Vidak, there were two more players who put in two goals. One was Theo Hotvedt. Despite his poor form going into the match, he caught on fire almost immediately with an early goal. Just a couple of minutes before the halftime whistle sounded, his magnificent straight shot pierced through and doubled the Eagles' lead. Unfortunately for Volanger, the lead would remain for the rest of the match, with the Musicians waking up too late. Lastly, Manuel Moser led Tjusto in a 2-4 thriller against Kjol. He was also responsible for partner-in-crime Matej Scheibel's goal at the last moment of the first half. In what was a crucial fixture involving two sides vying for IFCF qualification, Drazieu continued their hot form with a much-needed away victory against Konunsfjord.

Since all four of the aforementioned multi-goal getters deserve a spot in this week's TOTW, they have received so. Unusually, however, it has resulted in some peculiar positions for the players up front. Despite three of the four are strikers, two had to be put on the opposite sides of Nikolaj Eriksen, who had to be the main striker in the middle of attack.

There wasn't much to say about Afoln or Czujon this weekend, they just kept going at it with three-point hauls. However, the story below them is much more interesting. Entering this week, Konunsfjord were ahead of Kjol but only by a single point, which made their clash especially pivotal. Not to mention, Drazieu were in superb form and were gradually inching themselves closer to the IFCF qualification spots. Right after kick-off, it was Kjol who showed their class, with Konunsfjord unable to catch up early. Soon, the Capital Crew's enterprising attacking play resulted in a goal for Solveig Nicolaisen as Anna-Lisa Geijer provided her with a pull-back cross. Kjol then proceeded to look like they were going to double their lead before halftime. However, they were foiled by the woodwork thrice, which coach Michael Tischbein couldn't believe. After the break, Kjol finally grabbed their second thanks to Mariano Simões' penalty. While Eva Wehausen's goal in the 65th gave the Yellowjackets, Simões quickly squashed any hopes of a comeback with a goal only three-minutes after the score turned 2-1. Meanwhile, Drazieu snatched their fourth win in a row after taking care of Creuzbrück, whose defense in the first-half were near-nonexistent, something they have had trouble with the whole season. As for Mauschlag, skipper Sven Lindgren celebrated with the home fans after his last-minute curling shot from just outside the 18-yard box beat Christoph Hansch. Lastly, the seven-goal thriller between Volanger and Nord-Skarlagen has to be game of the week with tons of twists and turns throughout the 90 minutes.

While it's typically Afoln's offense that shines the brightest in their games, this time it was the defense. In particular, Izabel Corte-Real impresses again with her dazzling dribbling and picture-perfect free-kick for FC Sensational. Despite Jason Hammer also scoring twice this week, it's Mariano Simões' aforementioned double against Konunsfjord that earns a TOTW selection.

Matchday 25's immediately got off to a banging start after Czujon and Volanger traded blows in a seven-goal thriller. Fabio Sequeira's low-driven shot left the keeper surprised, giving the early lead to the Crimson Eleven. Not too long after, Stefan Laverne kept his composure converting a penalty conceded by Magnus Herr. After the restart, Czujon managed to grab the lead two times. However, Volanger did not give up, equalizing twice as well. It eventually took a last-minute free-kick from Martin Breiner to settle the score in favor of the Reds. As for their rivals Konunsfjord, the team continued their streak of point-dropping as they fell victim to yet another compelling victory from Afoln. Concurrently, Kjol also struggled in their match against Creuzbrück. Kjol were unable to hold back the Canaries' rapid style of offense throughout the whole game. Unfortunately for Creuzbrück, they too failed hindering their opponents from scoring four, including one from Vicente Aguiar as he was left unmarked, making him the perfect target man for winger Anna-Lisa Geijer. Konunsfjord and Kjol failing to get all three points again was stellar news for Drazieu. After having a pretty poor start to the season, they bounced back over the past few weeks to notch themselves near the top four again as they are now tied on points with Konunsfjord. Meanwhile in the relegation fight, Tonsvanger are slowly slipping away. However, nothing is guaranteed as there is only a five-point gap between 15th and 18th. Vestrageid's decent form and Creuzbrück's never-say-never attitude shows that if they want to stay alive, Drueberg and Tonsvanger better improve over the next few games before the season's final stretch.

There is no doubt that Arnold Sorum is the Zentraliga's best keeper, at least for this week. While Albert Skarsgard tried his absolute best, he just couldn't get past Sorum's imposing 6'4" frame. Like last week, there were two prime candidates for the TOTW's position up front. While Stefan Laverne played well, Miroslav Schnitzer played better. He made the right runs, he picked out the right passes, and he was clinical when given the chance to score.

Taking a short break from league football, the Forbundets-Pokal gradually gets more and more exciting as it nears the final. Konunsfjord looks like they just can't get out of their icy slump with yet another defeat, this time against Vadheim, another team which has slipped over the previous weeks. Meanwhile, both remaining Zekundliga sides were eliminated, meaning that the Forbundets-Pokal will be won by a Zentraliga club for the 29th-time in a row. Top-tier trophy contenders Afoln and Czujon again had contrasting match stories. While Czujon didn't break a sweat in their overcoming of Tonsvanger, Afoln had to rely on star striker Nikolaj Eriksen's brace in the final ten minutes to seal their place in the quarterfinals. Lastly, two sets of upper mid-table matches were drawn, to the delight of the neutrals. First was Sud-Saalkirch versus Ascht Amor. Both teams were basically equals throughout the game as they exchanged blows. In the end, it was Jason Hammer who broke the tie in favor of the Cherries. The other upper mid-table game was between Kjol and Roshavn, which was even closer. Mariano Simões was just not in his mojo the whole afternoon as the fixture went into penalties. Karl Fertig's two saves made him the hero of the hour for the Capital Crew as they moved on.

Somehow grabbed second place in the 16th U18 World Cup, so that's cool. Football team is a bit wack, basketball team is doing better.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 26 - 29

Less than ten games remain before the champion is crowned. As such, any slip now just before the final stretch just might be what decides this year's championship. Despite Afoln and Czujon having a comfortable lead on the rest of the table, a lot of points are still to be won in the upcoming fixtures. If there's any good time for Konunsfjord and Kjol to catch up to these two, it's now. However, before they can think about challenging for the title, they'll have to stave off Drazieu first. The Wolves are in superb form with five wins in their previous five matches.

Going up against a volatile Sud-Saalkirch, Czujon did not expect an easy fight... and they were right. For one half, at least. Numerous times they got caught out by Markus Gramlich's eagle-eyed vision and skillful passing, and numerous times they had to rely on Ralf Lewisohn to save their skins. Somehow, the Crimson Eleven escaped the first half not down by a goal or two. They knew they had to change something tactically, which later proved game-changing in their favor. Instead of their usual style of fast-paced offense, they switched to more patient build-up with careful passing. This resulted in two goals in nine minutes that drained Sud-Saalkirch of all their momentum. On the other side of the title race, who else but Nikolaj Eriksen was once again the shining star in yet another riveting victory for FC Sensational. Meanwhile, Kjol and Konunsfjord supporters finally have something to be happy about in a while as both emerge victorious in their respective matches. Smack dab in the middle of the table, Albert Skarsgard was again missing the help he needed as Vadheim collapsed against Roshavn in what was this week's most entertaining fixture. A number of presentable opportunities on both sides, decent refereeing, and three good goals highlighting the scrimmage in a jam-packed Zürner Park. What's not to love? While the Locomotives' win meant that they leapforgged Sud-Saalkirch, they were unable to jump over Tjusto and Mauschlag as both of which also collected maximum points.

As mentioned earlier, Ralf Lewisohn was what saved Czujon from going down before halftime, explaining his selection here. In the right back position is Izabel Corte-Real, who took on more of a defensive role this week. Up front is Nikolaj Eriksen, who we don't need to explain, right? Beside him is Artur Paulsen. Other than his double, he also assisted two of Konunsfjord's five against Norrehavn.

The week started off really well for Afoln and their fans after Ascht Amor stood tall in a goalless draw against Czujon. Unfortunately for the Crimson Eleven, Torstein Sondrol was sidelined for the week with a minor shoulder injury, which left them with only half of their usual strike partnership. It also looked like they were missing his presence as they were just not clinical enough to score the chances that they were given. To be fair, Martin Breiner should've at least been involved in scoring, but he was off that day. With their title rivals dropping points, Afoln made sure to capitalize on that blunder. While it took them more than 45 minutes to find the net, they still had ease taking care of Vestrageid. Despite bouncing back last week, Kjol and Konunsfjord were back to not-winning ways. First, Kjol couldn't keep out two first-half goals from both ends of Tonsvanger's squad, one a volley from Lise-Solvej Stepinac and the other a header from Robin Lexer. Then, the Yellowjackets had to come back from a surprise 1-0 deficit to salvage a point against a lowly Drueberg. Like Czujon's, their mistakes were exploited by a lurking Drazieu. Emil Lindbergh was the spark Drazieu needed against Vadheim; he was clever in converting chances off of set-pieces taken in such a way that they looked like they were rehearsed hundreds of times in practice. The Wolves' victory meant that they are inching closer and closer to both Kjol and Konunsfjord in the rankings, just outside the IFCF qualification spots.

With how Marianne Kofod's been playing the whole season, interest from higher-ranked clubs on the Tonsvanger keeper is definitely rising. At the back, a Tecoian center pairing is bounded by Drazieu full-backs. While it was Finn Stiefel and Torleif Persson who scored the goals for Afoln, it's Hans Beringer who becomes their representative at this week's TOTW thanks to his brace of assists.

Coming back from an injury the previous week, Torstein Sondrol did not waste any time doing what he does best for Czujon: scoring goals. Only 13 seconds after kickoff, he ran past Mario Hengsbach and finished with finesse to beat Brigitte Brand. Meanwhile, Nikolaj Eriksen's goal against Tonsvanger may be his best of the season. After a powerful effort from Torleif Persson was blocked, Eriksen gave it all he had and attempted to volley the ball towards the net. Despite his skill as a goalscorer, most of those watching thought that the shot wasn't going in... until it did, to the shock and delight of (almost) everyone in the Morsteinstadion. Speaking of striker heroics, Volanger has Stefan Laverne to celebrate after his last-minute free-kick stole the three points for the Musicians. Tjusto's heartbreaking defeat meant that Mauschlag was the only upper midtable team to win this week. Unfortunately for Drazieu, their seven-game winning streak came to an end as they were unable to produce in the second half against a feisty Sud-Saalkirch side. While this presented yet another opportunity for Kjol and Konunsfjord to rebuild their leads from previous weeks, they failed to do so with MORE dropped points against relegation-threatened sides. Konunsfjord in particular was cut apart by Nord-Skarlagen's rapid passing and quick counter-attacks.

This week's TOTW is quite odd compared to previous selections as instead of the squad being characterized by players from various top sides, a lot of the chosen players this week are from lower-ranked clubs. Most notably, Joshua Schuerer's intelligent positioning resulted in a double, earning him a proper TOTW selection. Another thing to be noticed from this team is the abundance of players from Creuzbrück, which ran like a well-oiled machine against Drueberg.

On just the first fixture of the week, Matchday 29 got off to an unusual start after Filip Engstrom's composed finish just before halftime was the only goal between Czujon and Mauschlag. While this was a golden opportunity for Afoln to stretch their lead to six points, they were unable to do so after Vadheim finally woke up from their slumber and gave Albert Skarsgard the support he needed to thrive in attack. Their long passing exploited Skarsgard's pace, enabling him to freely make frequent runs past Isak Aarvold and Franz Kaufer. Once Skarsgard outruns the defense, all he needs to do is to kick the ball past Stefan Johanssen, which he is very capable of. Meanwhile, the IFCF qualification battle took an interesting turn. While Kjol and Konunsfjord fans have to suffer once more with disappointing draws, Drazieu's supporters have much to cheer about. The strike partnership between Emil Lindbergh and Veronika Escherich gifted the Wolves once more with two of the three goals defining their victory against Roshavn. Another, this triumph also meant that Kjol and Konunsfjord have been leapfrogged by Drazieu in the standings, pushing out the Yellowjackets out of the IFCF qualification positions. Like always, the Wolves took advantage of flying under the radar to surprise everyone. Only five games remain. Will the Capital Crew or the Yellowjackets recover from the slump that might cost them the chance to compete outside of Tjorl?

Ruben Viitanen is chosen once again for the TOTW for another good performance between the sticks. He was able to read how Czujon was going to attack, and later foil it. Of course, Skarsgard leaves no debate on who should be the TOTW's gunslinger up front for this week. Lastly, Eduard Rebrović was unbeatable when challenged; he used his strength and intelligence to constantly thwart Ascht Amor's attacks.

Not too long after Afoln's surprise defeat to Vadheim in the Zentraliga, the Marooned have done it again, this time in the Forbundets-Pokal. While Afoln looked more rigid than their previous match-up, there were still gaps at the back that provided Arvi Juvonen and Albert Skarsgard with enough space to attempt lethal shots. Another disappointing end to Afoln's Forbundets-Pokal campaign. Maybe next year? As for Tjusto, they were surprisingly held at bay by Creuzbrück's defense for nearly a hundred minutes. Still locked together at the end of extra time, the match went into penalties. Tjusto received the advantage after Ademar Soares' spot-kick struck the upright. However, Ralf Fjerstad stretched to an unbelievable extent to deny Robby Schöpfer, keeping the Canaries alive. The first penalty of sudden death came to Harald Teufenauer, who then decided to shoot it towards the upper-right corner. Then, saved by Chris Stein! With their progression to the semis at stake, Eduard Rebrović kept cool and scored the winning penalty to send Creuzbrück home. Meanwhile, Erich Karjalainen's header gave the crucial lead to Czujon, which they would not give up. Lastly, Drazieu kept on winning and Kjol kept on losing in the Pokal after the Wolves did not break a sweat dispatching the lifeless Kjol squad.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 30 - 33

Less than ten games remain before the champion is crowned. As such, any slip now just before the final stretch just might be what decides this year's championship. Despite Afoln and Czujon having a comfortable lead on the rest of the table, a lot of points are still to be won in the upcoming fixtures. If there's any good time for Konunsfjord and Kjol to catch up to these two, it's now. However, before they can think about challenging for the title, they'll have to stave off Drazieu first. The Wolves are in superb form with five wins in their previous five matches.

MATCHDAY 30

Kaldlakris Drazieu FC 0-2 Czujon 022 SC
⚽ Solbakken 48', Engelstad 90+1'
Tjusto FSC 1-0 FC Mauschlag 08
⚽ Kjelland 8'
SF Kjol 3-1 Roshavn SF
⚽ Nicolaisen 22' 43', Simões 57' || Hansdottir 40'
Konunsfjord 014 1-0 Ascht Amor SC
⚽ Bärtschi 33'
FC Asurblau Afoln 2-0 SC Sud-Saalkirch
⚽ Olssen 39' 86'
SC Ternet Creuzbrück 4-2 FC Volanger
⚽ Austrason 15', Sciborski 39' 85', Soares 52' || Nystrand 20', Straubhaar 62'
1. FC Norrehavn 0-1 Vadheim 03 FF
⚽ Tammi 73'
Vestrageid FC 3-1 1. FC Nord-Skarlagen
⚽ Teichmüller 9', Vidak 30', Schuerer 73' || Sobolewski 12'
SC Dalen Drueberg 0-0 Tonsvanger FC

Team of the Week: GK - Johanssen, LB - Teufenauer, CB - Karjalainen, CB - Kotilainen, RB - Corte-Real, CDM - Bondevik, CM - Sequeira, CM - Siqueira, LW - Wiedemann, RW - Olssen, ST - Sciborski

When any mistake at this stage may spell disaster for any team trying to go for the crown, Czujon were getting more and more frustrated against Drazieu. The Wolves' rigid back line has denied them for half of the afternoon and the usually-lethal partnership of Martin Breiner and Torstein Sondrol hasn't performed at its best. From whom will the opener come from? Surprisingly, it was right-back Petra Solbakken. Sneaking past a couple of defenders, she found herself wide-open. Seeing this, Aleksander Kremers did not hesitate to give her the ball, which she struck with enough power and precision to beat Henrik-Jan Stuiver. Solbakken's goal set the tone for the remaining 42 minutes, in which Czujon did not give up their lead. As for Afoln, Kevin Olssen showed once again why he is one of the best in the Zentraliga with a brilliant brace against Sud-Saalkirch. Drazieu's defeat against Czujon gave a chance for Konunsfjord and Kjol to retake their positions from less than five weeks back, which they did. First, a statemin win for Kjol against Roshavn. Solveig Nicolaisen in particular was superb; she made the rights passes, constantly ran in dangerous positions, and was clinical when needed. For Konunsfjord meanwhile, they still don't look like themselves from the first half of the season. However, the final score still fell in their favor thanks to a banger from 32 yards out by Victor Bärtschi.

Creuzbrück left-back Harald Teufenauer is definitely the star of the TOTW's defensive line this week. He constantly frustrated Volanger's offense by preventing them from playing through the wings. Meanwhile, Maia Sequeira is one of the three midfield maestros chosen this week due to her superb passing and progressing performance against a typically rigid Ascht Amor back line.

MATCHDAY 31

Czujon 022 SC 2-0 Tjusto FSC
⚽ Breiner 29', Eidsness 40'
Kaldlakris Drazieu FC 2-2 SF Kjol

⚽ Skarsgard 90+1'
1. FC Nord-Skarlagen 1-0 Tonsvanger FC

Team of the Week: GK - Krnić, LB - Amaral, CB - Hengsbach, CB - Richardsson, RB - Koivu, CDM - Frandsen, CM - Altherr, CM - Halonen, LW - Nystrand, RW - Hansdottir, ST - Laverne

Matchday 31 was a very special weekend for Czujon. After a poor showing last week, Martin Breiner redeemed himself with a vital goal for the Crimson Eleven, his 17th for the season. Now, Czujon's victory over Tjusto was their 21st throughout the season. What makes this week special compared to previous weeks? It's not about what occurred in the Great Reds' game, but more on what happened elsewhere. In particular, Zürner Park watched in joyous disbelief as the hometown club Roshavn absolutely demolished the league leaders by five goals. Roshavn utilized long passing to absolute perfection, catching out their opponent's defense nearly every single time. Mathias Neuhäusser had nothing to say to his players after 90 minutes have elapsed and was simply dumbfounded by what he saw. Certainly a week to both learn from and forget for FC not-so-Sensational, while certainly a week to laugh about for Kjol and Czujon's supporters. Meanwhile at the Arena des Ankers, Albert Skarsgard was Vadheim's knight in shining armor once again after a last-minute clumsy finish rescued all points for the Marooned. Besides the aforementioned humiliation of Afoln, another team experienced the full wrath of a midtable side. Vestrageid were simply outclassed as Volanger cut their back line to shreds. Lastly, Konunsfjord were saved by a last-minute solo run by Hugo Lindberg.

It comes as no surprise that this week's TOTW is filled with players from Roshavn and Volanger. Most notably, the pairing of Marina Nystrand and Ann-Sofie Hansdottir was great at providing the goals in their respective team's victories, earning them TOTW selections. Between the uprights, Martin Krnić finally gets chosen for the team for the first time in a while. He was good at halting Mauschlag's offensives, especially when it comes to intercepting passes.

MATCHDAY 32

1. FC Nord-Skarlagen 1-2 Vadheim 03 FF

Team of the Week: GK - Viitanen, LB - Markussen, CB - Riederer, CB - Kaufer, RB - Solbakken, CM - Kalbfleisch, CM - Krzanowski, CAM - Nystrand, LW - Grämer, RW - Kremers, ST - Siminski

Recovering from last week, Afoln made sure to stay in front with a strong 2-0 victory over Drazieu. While Nikolaj Eriksen took some time to show up, he still managed to net his 31st of the season. This week, it's Afoln and their supporters who get to laugh at their rivals, Kjol. Only a week after enjoying their rival's misfortunes, Kjol were unable to do anything against a mighty Czujon side. Nothing too surpsing seeing the title contenders emerge victorious once again. How about the relegation battle? Having already delivered for the Raspberries more than half a dozen times, young star Tobi Krzanowski proved his worth to Norrehavn once again with a goal that set the stage for their victory against Roshavn. The win is even more important when it is considered that they get to separate themselves further from Tonsvanger, who should've won this matchday. Despite Kaleb Siminski's brace giving the Raiders a two-nil lead with less than 45 minutes to go, Volanger fought through and managed to salvage a point for themselves. Meanwhile, Drueberg move closer towards relegation after a defeat against Sud-Saalkirch leaves them with tons of work to do on Matchday 33.

When facing Creuzbrück, it is of upmost importance to quickly take control before their offense catches on fire. Fortunately for Mauschlag, they successfully did so with little problems. Ruben Viitanen and Alesso Riederer were absolutely vital in denying Creuzbrück their typical early chances, explaining why they are both in this week's TOTW. Meanwhile up front, Kaleb Siminski's respectable double still deserves a TOTW selection despite only gaining a point against Volanger.

Team of the Week: GK - Lewisohn, LB - Preiss, CB - Karjalainen, CB - Berguis, RB - Corte-Real, CDM - Ellmenreich, CM - Euler, CM - Sequeira, CAM - Wiedemann, ST - Lenz, ST - Eriksen

Two games remain. Before the penultimate clash of the season involving the two title contenders, the fans get to be treated to the final Fjordderby of the season between Czujon and Konunsfjord. The last time these heated adversaries locked horns, it was the Crimson Eleven who prevailed in convincing fashion. It was no different this week as a goal in each half highlighted another Red victory in the Fjordderby. Concurrently, the Sörligderby was being contested in the capital Kjol. Despite all of the Capital Crew's best efforts, they couldn't stop Nikolaj Eriksen from having what might be his best performance of the season. Thrice the scoreline changed due to Eriksen: first was a composed finish with his right foot, second was a header from a perfect corner delivery by Hans Beringer, and third was a cheeky chip with his left. To top off Afoln's statement victory, Izabel Corte-Real cooked up one of her trademark bullseye free-kicks from 32 yards out. Going into the last matchday, the top two squads are still tied on points with only the match against each other remaining. At the opposite end of the table, Norrehavn's 5-1 loss against Drazieu gave Drueberg some hope of staying in the Zentraliga. However, they were unable to save themselves after succumbing to Roshavn midway in the first half. After the final whistle was blown, only despair and misery can be seen on the faces of Drueberg's supporters, who have been on their side for the past 18 straight years in the Zentraliga.

Fabio Sequeira had himself a game this week; his goal and assist against heated rivals Konunsfjord meant that by the end of the first game of the week it was already clear who was going to be chosen in this TOTW's midfield. Meanwhile, Nikolaj Eriksen's TOTW selection up front was in no doubt. However, Jackie Lenz also had a tremendous week, which meant that she too got a deserved TOTW selection

Kaldlakris Drazieu FC 1–0 Vadheim 03 FF
⚽ Santos 36'


With Afoln gone, Czujon is inching closer and closer to a 12th Forbundets-Pokal trophy. Before worrying about the final, however, they have to get there first. To do so, they first have to move past Tjusto's lethal duo of Matej Scheibel and Manuel Moser. While Czujon's defense struggled in the first half, their offense got off to a flying start. A well-executed team goal for the opener and a deflected volley for the second resulted in an early lead and crucial momentum for the Crimson Eleven. It didn't help Tjusto that Moser went missing for 60 minutes, hurting any hopes of a comeback and sealing Czujon's journey to the Nasjonalstadion a few weeks from now. The second finalist's semifinal squabble did not go as smoothly. Drazieu and Vadheim were equal in defense and in attack, constantly threatening each other's nets. Unfortunately for Vadheim, Artur Santos' header in the 36th was the game's opening goal. The Marooned just won't give up, trying again and again and again to pull themselves back. However, Hendrik-Jan Stuiver stood firm between the sticks, saving the Wolves more than just a couple of times. His most heroic save of the night came when Albert Skarsgard's certain-goal opportunity was saved on the line, leaving Vadheim and their supporters stunned. Eventually, Drazieu's hard work paid off well with a return to the Forbundets-Pokal final.

Zentraliga Season II, Matchdays 34

Final matchday. All teams kick off at the same time, all teams learn their fate at (roughly) the same time. The championship, relegation, and IFCF qualification are still in the balance? Which teams will achieve glory on the final day, and which teams will be left heartbroken by the end of 90 minutes?

MATCHDAY 34

@ Arena des Ankers, Frauenbach, Atzerland | Attendance: 40,538

Vestrageid FC 1-1 Tjusto FSC
⚽ Schuerer 50' || Rebrović 90+1'

While these fixtures ultimately don't change any of the crucial battles at the top or at the bottom, it's still an entertaining end to the season for most teams. Albert Skarsgard took the chance to up his goal tally once again, bringing it to 22 with a classy finish in the one-versus-one situation against Viktor Vuorela. Meanwhile, Marina Nystrand ended her season with a fantastic curler from 24 yards out to give the Musicians the home victory. Lastly, a draw marked the end of the season for Vestrageid and Tjusto. Eduard Rebrović sealed his best goalscoring campaign yet with a thumping header to save a point for the Scarlet Ones.

@ Nordöster-Park, Creuzbrück, Stohlmer | Attendance: 22,141
SC Ternet Creuzbrück 2-2 Konunsfjord 014

Despite Konunsfjord and Drazieu having a lot to play for, they didn't look like they were at their best when their IFCF qualification was on the line. Konunsfjord couldn't have had a worse start to their final matchday when Karl Austrason was left too open to convert an easy tap-in, putting Creuzbrück in front early. However, Artur Paulsen didn't take long to equalize for the Yellowjackets, whose luck seemed to change immediately after the opener. They even received a second before halftime thanks to Maia Siqueira. However, substitute Martinho Carreira put the Canaries level again. Meanwhile, Drazieu struggled against an already-eliminated Drueberg. When the underdogs went up 2-1 with six minutes to go, it looked like they were at least going to end their season on a good note. However, Drazieu skipper Elisa Karstensen saved the Wolves a point with a last-minute volley. Their draw gave some hope to Kjol, who needs a win to keep themselves in the IFCF fight.

⚽ Krzanowski 86'

Norrehavn, Nord-Skarlagen, and Tonsvanger have dangled near the relegation zone for the whole season. Which of them will stay in the Zentraliga, and which will fall into the dreaded relegation zone? First, Tonsvanger needs all three points to at least qualify for the relegation playoffs, where they will have a second chance to save themselves. However, they were unlucky to face a feisty Mauschlag side on the final day. While Mauschlag tried again and again to stretch their lead after Michael Koskinen's equalizer, Tonsvanger's desperate defending kept them in it. Unfortunately for the Raiders, it just wasn't enough and they were relegated. Concurrently, Nord-Skarlagen were facing issues of their own. Roshavn's free-flowing offense hushed the loud Nord-Skarlagen crowd early in the second, and they even doubled their advantage only 23 minutes later. More bad news arrived at the Park av Bergtals when Tobi Krzanowski's frantic left-foot finish put Norrehavn in charge against Kjol with only four minutes of normal time remaining. Norrehavn's victory did not only spell doom for Nord-Skarlagen but also for Kjol, as the defeat prevented them from capitalizing on Drazieu's draw. At the final whistle, Norrehavn and their supporters rejoiced when they secured their safety while Kjol can only put their hands on their heads after being eliminated from IFCF qualification.

@ Morsteinstadion, Afoln, Nordplatz | Attendance: 91,422
FC Asurblau Afoln 2-1 Czujon 022 SC
⚽ Eriksen 88', 90+4' || Breiner 22'

The final match. Everything to play for. Loads of talent on both sides. Afoln and Czujon have duked it out all season, but only one can bring home the trophy. Who'll prevail, Afoln's impressive attacking or Czujon's never-say-die attitude? Right after kick-off, both teams immediately put on their best. Eventually, it was Martin Breiner who struck first for the Crimson Eleven with a superb solo run to slice Afoln's back line in half. One-nil to the visitors. Still plenty of football to be played, not yet time for Afoln to panic. However, they were getting more and more frustrated as they just couldn't find the net. After the restart, Afoln kept on turning the temperature to hopefully find a way back. On 79 minutes, Torleif Persson looked like he was going to end his career at Afoln with a shot that nearly immortalized him in Zentraliga fantasy. Unfortunately, he struck the crossbar. Getting more and more desperate, Afoln's offense tried everything they could from anywhere to square the game. Then, a miracle. Sensing a gap in the defense, Persson lobbed the ball high in the air. Suddenly, Nikolaj Eriksen snuck behind Davide Steinberg to head in Afoln's title-winning goal, sending Morsteinstadion into deafening elation. A few minutes later, Eriksen put the cherry on top as he scored his second. Undoutably a 28th Zentraliga title for FC Sensational.

Team of the Week: GK - Hansch, LB - Teufenauer, CB - Cardoso, CB - Karjalainen, RB - Corte-Real, CM - Persson, CM - Krzanowski, CAM - Hansdottir, LW - Breiner, RW - Olssen, ST - Eriksen

@ Nasjonalstadion, Kjol, K.C.D. | Attendance: 90,509
Czujon 022 SC 0–1 Kaldlakris Drazieu FC
⚽ Santos 79'

After the Zentraliga title slipped through their fingers, Czujon another chance to bring home some silverware. However, things didn't go as planned against the Wolves. Unlike in the match against Afoln, the Crimson Eleven failed to build momentum early as they were too busy preventing their opponents from building momentum early. While the tie was still scoreless by halftime, Drazieu clearly looked like the dominant team up to that point with their sharp passing and constant attacking threats. Despite their command so far, still no goals for either team. Eventually, however, an opener finally arrived when Artur Santos had way too easy of a finish to put the Wolves up by one with eleven minutes left on the clock. This lead would last the remaining minutes and Czujon had yet another heartbreaking week as Drazieu lifted the Forbundets-Pokal for the first time since 2000. As champions of the Forbundets-Pokal, Drazieu also qualified for the next edition of the CAFA LigAnaia.

Fair Play Award
Winner: Jose Braga (FC Mauschlag 08)

Goal of the Season
Winner: Michael Koskinen (FC Mauschlag 08) - Matchday 19
"One of his goals has great potential to be goal of the season. With the space basically gifted to him, Koskinen decided to shoot from quite a distance.

This Season - After edging Czujon 022 on the final matchday last season, Asurblau Afoln booked their place in this year's Supercup. Their opponents Kaldlakris Drazieu, meanwhile, sealed their Supercup spot after defeating Czujon in the Forbundets-Pokal final. Czujon 022's defeat in both the Zentraliga and in the Forbundets-Pokal meant that they won't be able to defend their Supercup title this year.

FINAL @ Nasjonalstadion, Kjol, K.C.D. | Attendance: 91,293
FC Asurblau Afoln 3–1 Kaldlakris Drazieu FC
⚽ Eriksen 17', Corte-Real 63', Kaufer 79' || Moser 56'

Right off the bat, the reigning Zentraliga champions looked like the more-prepared squad. Early chances were created, yet they weren't clinical enough to convert the opener. That was until the 17th minute, when Kevin Olssen's pullback cross fell beautifully to Nikolaj Eriksen, who finished it off with aplomb. In the second half, Drazieu finally looked alive and evenutally found an equalizer thanks to a thumping header from Manuel Moser, who transferred this summer from Tjusto. However, the Wolves' joy wouldn't last for long, as Izabel Corte-Real's free-kick from thirty yards out flew over the wall and just out of Hendrik-Jan Stuiver's reach, putting FC Sensational in the lead once again. 16 minutes later, Franz Kaufer secured the trophy for Afoln after a corner from Hans Beringer fell perfectly around him. Drazieu were unable to mount a comeback, and FC Sensational starts the season once again with silverware.

To everyone's surprise, the team on top halfway through isn't Afoln nor Czujon nor Konunsfjord, but Tjusto. The Scarlets' free-flowing offense, paired with some sturdy defense even with Eduard Rebrović's departure has resulted in the league's best goal difference. Weirdly enough, the best defense in the league is six positions below them, in the form of Mauschlag. While their rock-solid defense has certainly earned them points, their problems in attack has set them back quite a bit. On the other end of the table, Creuzbrück seems to be suffering from second season syndrome, as they have not got anything going for them along with Vadheim, who seems to be missing Albert Skarsgard very much as now they have the worst offense in the league. With what they have on paper, Schärstadt has definitely overperformed. Back to the upper half of the table now, and we see Sud-Saalkirch in fifth. Their smart transfers have absolutely worked out in their favor, with Lise-Solvej Stepinac constantly creating chances for Jason Hammer to convert. Lastly, Czujon has some work to do, as they have underperformed a bit in their first 17 games.

RACE FOR THE SKJÖLDUR-SPITZENSCHÜTZEN

1 Eriksen 16 Afoln
2 Skarsgard 14 Czujon
3 Vidak 11 Tjusto
T4 Simões 10 Kjol
T4 Hammer 10 Sud-Saalkirch

Unsurprisingly, it's reigning top-scorer Nikolaj Eriksen on top of the scoring charts once again. However, Czujon star striker Albert Skarsgard is not too far behind. Behind the two is Marius Vidak, who transferred from Vestrageid this summer and is now the man Tjusto can rely on throughout the season so far. Lastly, familiar faces in Mariano Simões and Jason Hammer close out the top five.
