Dominant Display

Dingden took the lead in the 14th minute when winger Nils Thiel cut inside from the left and curled a shot into the far corner. The visitors struggled to create any meaningful attacks, with Dingden’s midfield pairing of Julian Brandt and Milan Weber controlling possession. The second goal came in the 38th minute: a defensive error allowed striker Lars Hoffmann to intercept a pass and slot home. Dingden continued to press and added a third just before half‑time through a well‑worked set piece, with centre‑back Felix Küster heading in from a free‑kick.

Second‑Half Cruise

The second half was a much quieter affair as Dingden dropped the tempo, content to protect their lead. Schwarz-Weiss Essen showed more attacking intent but lacked the quality to break down a disciplined defence. Dingden’s goalkeeper Tim Riedel was rarely tested, making only two routine saves. The home side saw out the game without incident, securing a clean sheet to go with the three goals.
