Meuselwitz celebrates debut win against Lok Leipzig: A drama on the pitch!

On August 10, 2025, FC Lok Leipzig met ZFC Meuselwitz in the regional cup. In the stadium, which was sold out for the upcoming DFB Cup game, both teams showed different faces. The East Thuringian team presented itself as disciplined and compact, while Lok Leipzig had difficulty breaking through the visitors' defensive structure.

In the 13th minute, a shot from Florian Hansch forced Lok keeper Andreas Naumann into a brilliant save. Meuselwitz's pressure paid off when Adetula made it 1-0 for the guests in the 26th minute. His goal came after a beautifully executed attack on the left side, which crowned Adetula's successful starting eleven debut.

Lok Leipzig under pressure

Meuselwitz's leadership unsettled Lok Leipzig. Overly motivated, they completed some activities hastily, which gave the guests courage. Ten minutes before the break, the dangerous situations for Lok increased. A dangerous throw-in by David Pfeil and a shot by Cemal Kaymaz caused Lok's defense to falter.

After the half-time break, FC Lok increased possession of the ball, but continued to struggle against Meuselwitzer's compact defense. Adetula caused danger with another shot, but the best chance to equalize was missed by Lok striker Stefan Maderer, who missed a clear opportunity to make it 1-1. In the final phase, Lok Leipzig trembled, while goalkeeper Naumann was able to successfully fend off several shots.

Outlook for the DFB Cup

Lok Leipzig is currently in a good position with seven points from three games, while ZFC Meuselwitz has one point after two games. Both teams are already concentrating on their upcoming DFB Cup games: Lok Leipzig will face Bundesliga side Schalke 04 on August 17th, while ZFC Meuselwitz will play against Karlsruher SC at the same time.

The current performances of the teams are particularly important with regard to the Eastern Thuringia Regional Cup. The final has been scheduled for June 20, 2025, where Meuselwitz will face Niederpöllner SV. In the semi-finals on May 1, 2025, Meuselwitz played against SV Rositz, which was also reported by exciting live tickers. These competitions also provide a platform for improving form in the current season.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the teams will fare in their next challenges, especially in the DFB Cup, where they have to prove themselves against well-known opponents.
