Overview

• The Hamburg Kreisklasse match at SVS Mesopotamien II ended 66-0 on Sunday, spotlighting extreme disparities in local amateur football.
• Coach Patrick Stritzki said late sickness and injuries left only seven available, which is the minimum required to start under league rules.
• After a prior abandonment was ruled a no-show by Sportgericht Hamburg, the team played to avert further penalties that could include league expulsion for another absence.
• Stritzki said Mesopotamien II continued pressing for a large margin and are league leaders, while Moorburger are bottom, and he noted his busy goalkeeper later suffered a foot injury.
• Following the loss, the club posted a defiant Instagram message and the coach stressed that participation and enjoyment matter more than the result.
