Stephan Mensah scored in Chemnitzer FC’s 2-0 win against Greifswalder FC on Saturday afternoon in the Regionalliga Nordost.
The sky blues started very well and fired off an offensive firework: First Mensah missed a Brügmann cross by a few centimeters in the second minute, and shortly afterward Pagliuca forced GFC goalkeeper Matti Kamenz into a save from 17 meters in the 5th minute.
When Greifswald found its way into the game, the game developed into an open exchange of attacks. Furkan Kircicek dived under a Berger cross and missed the deserved lead in the 17th minute.
In the 36th minute, Stephan Mensah scored for the sky blues.
In the second round, the Greifswalder pressed for the equalizer, but could hardly create chances.
Tim Campulka took a penalty kick in the lower right corner and was denied by the brilliant GFC goalkeeper Matti Kamenz, but the Chemnitz central defender pushed the ball over the line in the 68th minute.
With the first home win of the year, Chemnitzer FC moved up to second place in the Northeast Regional League.
