After more than three months of break, the Region League Northeast finally resumed on Sunday, 3rd of March! The hosts were Turbine Potsdam II, and our Viktoria team was in great form.
Slow Start Of The Match.
Admittedly, it took a little while for that to show. The first shot on goal came early from Turbine II, but goalkeeper Inga Buchholz was ready to stop Anyssa Ibrahim (3’). In the following minutes, Turbine occasionally threatened the goal, despite Viktoria controlling the game. After about 15 minutes and a few offside decisions, FC Viktoria finally managed their first shots on goal. Winter signing Leyila Aydin shot wide to the left of the goal (14’), and Kim Urbanek also missed the target (16’).
It took another 15 minutes before the match picked up, with no major chances until then. But then, Viktoria struck. First, both Lea Hahn (29’) and Katja Friedl (30’) missed their chances, but then the ball was in the net. After a lovely pass into the gap from Aylin Yaren, Aydin scored to make it 1-0 (33’). Her first goal in her first league match for Viktoria, not a bad way to start!
Kim Urbanek Scores A Stunning Goal!
Less than ten minutes later, Yaren, who had just provided the assist, added a goal herself with a header to make it 2-0 (41’). The build-up was again impressive: Louise Trapp made a great run down the right wing before delivering a cross almost from the goal line.
In the second half, the Sky Blues (Himmelblauen) remained solid: the game was clearly in FC Viktoria’s hands. Offensively, things started to click even more, the defence stood firm, and Turbine II offered little to no threat. The next goals were just a matter of time. And then, 23 minutes after the restart, it happened and what a goal it was to make it 3-0! From the left side of the penalty area, Urbanek unleashed a shot that at first looked like an overhit cross but then dipped at just the right moment, landing just under the crossbar. This could be a candidate for goal of the month (68’). Substitute Marlies Sänger added a header to make it 4-0 (79’), sealing a high-scoring start to the second half of the season.
Next Saturday, 9th of March, the Region League will return to Stadion Lichterfelde. At 2 PM, we’ll host Türkiyemspor for a Berlin derby.

Buchholz - Hahn, Höfker, Lux, Trapp (Wasiak, 83’) - Gerken (Barsalona, 70’), Friedl - Ehegötz (Cazares, 83’), Yaren (Stulin, 75’), Aydin (Sänger, 70’) - Urbanek.
