This thrilling football match on 7th May 2023 offered viewers two distinct halves, featuring Berlin-based rivals Viktoria 1889 and Lichtenberg 47 in the Regionalliga North East. Goals dominated the proceedings, with SV Lichtenberg 47 claiming victory over their home rivals by 4-2.

Lichtenberg started the game on a high tempo, slotting in two goals (at 09:58 and 15:48 into the first half) thanks to excellent finishing. Moreover, they demonstrated clinical efficiency, scoring twice in the first half, a feat they replicated in the second half to keep Berlin on the back foot. The home side, however, showed a tremendous fighting spirit and scored twice (at 51:11 and 58:33) in the second half, but their efforts fell short.

Despite being on receiving end, Berlin dominated in some aspects of the game. They had 7 corner kicks against Lichtenberg's mere one. However, they were unable to capitalise on these set-piece opportunities. Berlin also fell foul of the referee with their high adrenaline approach, earning themselves two yellow cards, one in each half at 34:20 and 1:22:03 respectively. Lichtenberg received a single yellow card in the first half at 28:03, highlighting better discipline on their part.

An interesting aspect that stood out is Berlin's eight offsides calls against them, clearly indicating their eagerness to make forward runs and penetrate the opposition defense line. On the contrary, Lichtenberg only landed offside twice, offering a testament to their structured and strategic gameplay.

In conclusion, the game was characterised by Lichtenberg's clinical efficiency in converting goal opportunities and disciplined gameplay, while Viktoria Berlin seemed to be hasty in their approach leading to offsides and wasted corners. Hence it can be inferred that the key to Lichtenberg's win was their structured approach and effective utilization of opportunities. On the other hand, Viktoria Berlin's downfall was perhaps down to their lack of discipline and efficiency from set pieces, despite their undying spirit.
