SV Elversberg footballers experienced a historic day for football in Saarland on Saturday: in their Bundesliga premiere they defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3:2. After the final whistle, a choir singing "Oh, wie ist das schön" echoed from the home stands, while many of the 9,307 spectators looked at their players in disbelief and pride. Tagesspiegel ↗
Coach Vincent Wagner's team thus entered the highest German league with a victory over an opponent from a completely different weight class. "I think I must pinch myself," said captain Lukas Pinckert after the match, describing the Saarland newcomer's premiere as phenomenal. Die Zeit ↗
Attention now turns to the next fixture after the opening round. Elversberg faces Bayern Munich in two weeks, though coach Wagner hinted that the Munich favourite need not fear in advance. The victory over Leverkusen in any case strengthened the position of the newcomer, who entered the season with significant sporting momentum. Tagesspiegel ↗
