Young Guns Shine Brightly for VfB Lübeck
The youth teams of VfB Lübeck have been making waves in their respective competitions, and this past week was no exception. The U19 team secured a resounding 7-1 victory over TSV Klausdorf in the Oberliga Schleswig-Holstein, while the U17 side edged out SG Breitenburg 1-0 in the SHFV-Pokal quarterfinals.
The U19 team, led by coach Alper Gürsoy, dominated from start to finish. Kyrylo Romanenko opened the scoring with a well-placed shot (13′), and Darius Taiwo doubled the lead just minutes later (17′). Daniel Victor Sterzer then netted two goals in quick succession, first from a Mayor Persse Lufua corner kick (30′) and then with a stunning long-range effort (45′), giving VfB Lübeck a 4-0 halftime lead.
The second half saw the U19 team continue to press for more goals. Mayor Persse Lufua scored his first of the game after a Daniel Victor Sterzer assist (60′), and then Sterzer himself curled a shot past the TSV Klausdorf goalkeeper Fynn Tjark Harms (71′). Fabio Elano Burdich Tavares, who had come on as a substitute, also found the back of the net in the final minutes.
The U17 team’s 1-0 victory over SG Breitenburg was a testament to their defensive solidity and determination. The image below captures the moment when they secured their spot in the quarterfinals.
