Matchday 2 kicks off: Berlin City face a nervy test against Bürgeramt | OneFootball

The first match of the second matchday of the Icon League is over, and last season's champion remains unbeaten. However, not as convincingly as was expected beforehand.

Bürgeramt had to cope with the departure of its three most dangerous scorers—Dzemailji, Dzindic, and Zejnullahu—for the third season. After their 4:8 defeat in the opening match, the team appeared much more stable this time.

Against Berlin City, they managed to keep a clean sheet for a long time. In the tenth minute, however, it was Furkan Ars who, after an impressive combination, placed the ball precisely next to the post. After the break, Enes Küc and Noah Jones added to the lead for the defending champions, and everything pointed to another gala performance from Berlin City.

But the Berliners became increasingly passive and allowed Bürgeramt to get more and more into the game. Matthias Sadilek and Bajram Nebihi closed the gap, and suddenly the match was tense again.

In the 23rd minute, Berlin’s goalkeeper Antonio Brandt reacted lightning fast, found Noah Jones with a precise pass, and Jones sealed the win with a low, powerful finish.

So Berlin City wins its second game of the season as well—not brilliantly, but with the composure of a true top team, as team head Elias Nerlich noted after the match.
