Schacht 11 Bottrop - SW Alstaden 0-5
Founded only in 2024, Schacht 11 (the name, of course, a tribute to Bottrop's mining past) finished the first season in the club's history in a respectable fifth place. In the current season, anything is still possible in terms of promotion

On the first matchday, the derby between Bottrop's two top-flight men's teams. An engaging game in front of a good crowd, a bit rougher in the second half. Rhenania twice equalized the lead of favorites VfB. Overall, a deserved
