Milot Rashica returned to the starting XI for the first time since November 2020 while Augustinsson replaced Agu. They began the encounter on a good note – scoring in the 12th minute through Kevin Moehwald. The German midfielder fired the ball past goalkeeper Sascha Burchert who had punched Milos Veljkovic’s header into his path. The second division side came out stronger but failed in their quest to get the equaliser. For the hosts, they continued their push for a second goal, albeit, their attacking forays met a strong resistance from Stefan Leitl’s side. Even with the introduction of Nigerian forward Dickson Abiama for Branimir Hrgota and Jamie Leweling for Haavard Nielsen, the Cloverleaves still struggled to find the net.
