Cologne's disaster: Centurions are subject to Raiders with 0:68 in the home game!

A 0: 68-debacle of the Cologne Centurions experienced the around 800 spectators in the southern Stadium at their first home game in the European League of Football (Elf). The appearance of the Cologne team against the Raiders Tyrol was more than sobering, especially after an opening phase that was characterized by thunderstorms and half an hour of delay. The Raiders Tyrol dominated from the start, and while the Centurions remained in search of their shape, the guests shone with a superior performance. According to ksta.de Raiders collected 17 points.

The Cologne defensive revealed catastrophic mistakes, while the offensive only sporadically recorded space gains by a few passages by Nana Adom, Tobias Reglinks and Maximilian Weitz or few passes. The statistics are impressive: the Raiders proudly earned a total of 494 yards, while the Centurions only came to 100 yards. The Cologne team also burdened five ball losses, which was particularly negative due to the mistakes of quarterbacks Jan Leuker and Keegan McCormack-Reamer on the offensive. In the second half, when the Raiders switched back and gave their substitute players, the touchdowns for Tyrol continued to appear - a total of nine pieces and two fields goals through their players. Tobias Bonatti, Marco Schneider, Lukas Haslwanter and Jacorey Sullivan were able to enter their names in the scoring statistics.

A look at the next games

After this frustrated appearance, the Cologne Centurions, led by head coach Javan Lenhardt, must urgently reorganize themselves in order to be successful again in the season. "We are in the construction process," said Lenhardt about the current situation. Next weekend is another difficult duel against the Frankfurt Galaxy, followed by a home game against the Wroclaw Panthers. According to News.de The other games of the Centurions in the coming weeks are the decisive test field to improve their form and the opportunity to win the audience again.

The Raiders Tyrol can get into the upcoming challenges after their glorious victory, including a game against the Vienna Vikings, who also play strongly this season.

The season in the European League of Football

In the general view of the European League of Football, it can be seen that some teams have started defeats while others were able to triumph. For example, the Raiders Tyrol, who have always been competitive in recent years, have set a clear exclamation mark with their previous performance this season - after a bit of defeat against the Munich Ravens before the game against the Centurions, you could now strike back. European League Football emphasizes that the first games can often decide over the season and influence the dynamics of the teams.

Overall, the action remains exciting in the eleven and the fans can look forward to many other gripping games. Whether the Cologne Centurions can break their negative spiral will soon be shown.
