🔥 Quaresma vs Eckerlin: MMA showdown or Icon League matchday 7? | OneFootball

When you hear the names Ricardo Quaresma and Christian Eckerlin, the Icon League probably doesn’t come to mind. But that’s exactly where these two charismatic figures will face off on matchday seven – and not in the octagon, but on artificial turf.

The Portuguese world star Quaresma is making his comeback for B2B United, strengthening the team led by national player Benjamin Henrichs. Their opponent is Find the Pro, who have brought in the prominent Eckerlin for reinforcement. The MMA fighter, known as the "King of Germany," will play as a wildcard.

What many forget: Eckerlin can not only throw punches, but also kick. In his youth, he played for Darmstadt 98 and made 16 appearances in the Regionalliga. Whether that’s enough to keep up with the technical brilliance of a Quaresma remains to be seen – probably not.

But beyond the star power, there’s a lot at stake: both teams are stuck deep in the relegation zone and are desperately in need of points. Whether it’s the Portuguese outside-foot artist or the battle-hardened MMA star who makes the difference will be decided tonight.

While the previous match features a few big names going head-to-head, the absolute top match of the evening sees the two currently strongest teams in the Icon League face off: Berlin City versus DNA Athletics.

Berlin City has a perfect record so far – six games, six wins. But DNA is the next real test. The big question: have they already pulled away from the competition, or will DNA show that Berlin City can be beaten?

The atmosphere is sure to be electric: DNA Athletics comes in with plenty of fire after suffering a clear 10:5 defeat against the Berlin Underdogs last week. Led by coach Niklas Sommer, the team will do everything they can to respond – and hand Berlin City their first loss.
