Preussen Münster ended their four-game winless run with a crucial 2-0 victory over Jahn Regensburg on Matchday 23 of the German second division, with Congolese midfielder David Kinsombi playing a pivotal role in securing the much-needed points.
The result provided welcome relief for Münster, who had endured a difficult stretch of three defeats and a draw.
Kinsombi, on loan from SC Paderborn until the end of the season, anchored the midfield with composure and resilience, helping his side regain confidence in their battle to avoid relegation.
The hosts displayed determination from the outset, dominating key moments and controlling the tempo against a Jahn Regensburg side that fought hard but struggled to break through Münster’s disciplined setup.
After several probing attacks, Münster finally broke the deadlock late in the first half, capitalizing on a dominant spell to head into the break with a deserved 1-0 lead.
The second half saw Münster continue to apply pressure, and their persistence paid off midway through the period when they doubled their advantage.
The second goal not only secured the victory but also reflected the calm and tactical discipline that had been missing during their recent poor run.
David Kinsombi’s performance was instrumental in Münster’s success. The Congolese defensive midfielder brought stability to the center of the pitch, expertly breaking up opposition plays and initiating counterattacks.
His leadership and experience, honed during his time with clubs like Hamburg, were evident as Münster navigated the tense moments of the match.
This vital win lifts Preussen Münster to 15th in the standings with 23 points, a position that offers a temporary cushion in their fight against relegation. The victory also injects much-needed confidence into the squad ahead of their challenging trip to Schalke 04 on Friday, February 28.
Kinsombi, who has been steadily integrating into the squad since his loan move, expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance. “It was important for us to get this win, especially after the tough few weeks we’ve had.
We stayed calm, stuck to our game plan, and got the result we needed. Hopefully, this will be a turning point for us,” he said after the match.
The victory not only ends Münster’s dry spell but also serves as a morale booster as they continue their campaign to secure their place in the league.
With Kinsombi’s growing influence in midfield and a renewed sense of purpose within the squad, Preussen Münster now turns its attention to the upcoming clash with Schalke 04, hoping to build on this momentum.
For Kinsombi, the remainder of the season offers an opportunity to showcase his talent and leadership, with his performances playing a key role in Münster’s push for survival.
As the relegation battle intensifies, the Congolese midfielder’s contributions could prove decisive in keeping the club afloat.
