Football: Revisiting the World's Most Popular Sport - Defending champions suffer 3-0 defeat as Viktoria 89 emerges victorious.
Viktoria 89 stole the show and unseated last year's champions Makkabi in the Berlin State Cup final, winning their third championship in five years. With an audience of 2749, the regional team defeated the lesser league team in a 3:0 (0:0) match held at the Howoge-Arena Hans Zoschke. As a prize for their victory, Viktoria stands to gain around 200,000 euros courtesy of the German Football Association's central marketing.
Viktoria gained momentum quickly and dominated the initial phases of the game creation, producing exceptional scoring chances, including one at the far post. Viktoria's key striker Oleg Scacun made two blunders in front of the goal line. However, Berk Inaler made amends shortly after the halftime whistle, scoring after processing a pass which Falcao had failed to convert against Maccabi's goalkeeper during his brief stint in the 2021/22 third division season (48').
Shean Mensah, subbed in, had a chance to solidify Viktoria's lead, but he spurned it. Noticing this, Makkabi seized the opening and squandered their fair share of opportunities to level the score. Falcao, making it his second goal of the game, rebalanced the scales (79'). Damelang sealed the deal with a goal in the 87th minute.
