Kassel is defeated in Hoffenheim – Ulm is the first Primus

Regionalliga Südwest – 1st matchday

–

This weekend, the Regionalliga Südwest opened its doors and initially the focus was on the big favorites, Kickers Offenbach and SSV Ulm 1846.

For Kickers Offenbach there was already the first setback on Sunday. The OFC did not have the best day with promoted Wormatia Worms. Alexander Schmidt’s team presented themselves as creative and unimaginative against passionately fighting hosts. Worms acted more bitingly in the duels and time and time again bought the guts from the favorite. Offenbach failed to create more than two Lemmer chances, which Cymar thwarted. The home team, on the other hand, used a completely avoidable mistake by the guests to score the only goal of the day and a successful regional league comeback.

At the same time as the game in Worms, the second team from TSG Hoffenheim also clinched their first win of the new season. In the 2-0 win against KSV Hessen Kassel, Tohumcu scored from the inside left (44′) and Kovacevic (81′), who was able to sink the ball unhindered into the left corner.

Homburg rotates game

Timo Wenzel, coach of FC 08 Homburg, demanded a good start to the season from his team and was heard. Much to the chagrin of Bundesliga goalkeeper legend Oliver Reck, who took over as the new coach at FC Rot-Weiss Koblenz in the summer and suffered a 3-1 defeat on Saturday.

In the 18th minute, the afternoon took a different course, Afamefuna took advantage of a positional error by Plattenhardt and overcame keeper Salfeld from close range to give Koblenz the lead. It lasted around four minutes, then Fabian Eisele headed a corner kick from Gerezgiher into the net. In injury time in the first half, Homburg initially struggled after a Hummel crashed the bar, but the unlucky man combined with Mendler in the next attempt through the red-white cover rows, staged Eisele, who pushed in to make it 2-1.

After almost an hour, the domestic aluminum rattled again, this time Mendler aimed too precisely. The FCH had to tremble for a long time because Koblenz really got going. Salfeld in the Homburger Tor also earned top marks. Only in the fifth minute of stoppage time did Gösweiner save the Saarlanders with a shot into the empty goal – home keeper Kips had come forward in a standard situation.

Ulm too clever for Mainz II

SSV Ulm 1846 didn’t need any redeeming moments at the last minute on this matchday. Away at 1. FSV Mainz 05 II it was already 2-0 after 20 minutes after goals from Chessa (17th) and Rösch (20th). Good for Ulm, who had been superior up to that point, because the Mainz U23s shed their insecurity after conceding two goals and began to push forward briskly. But efficiency is also part of the repertoire of a top team, and so Reichert added the 3-0 lead in the 52nd minute after a corner kick. Almost 180 seconds later, a mercilessly pressing SSV home keeper Rieß forced a bad pass, Jann executed into the empty case. Victory was bagged, but it was to the credit of the zero-five talents that they continued to look for the offensive, albeit without any return on this matchday.

When asked about the championship favorites, the name TSV Steinbach Haiger was mentioned repeatedly. But in contrast to Homburg and Ulm, coach Ersan Parlatan’s team botched their start. Promoted SG Barockstadt-Fulda had announced a courageous performance in the person of their coach Sedat Gören and his men followed this route. At least it burned more often in both penalty areas during the game. The goal of the day came from a penalty kick that Grösch converted with a shot into the middle of the goal (21st). Lüdke almost made it 2-0 in the 75th minute, the post was in the way. But this bad luck didn’t matter much afterwards.

The feelings of the other two promoted teams playing on Saturday could hardly have been more different after 90 minutes. While SV Eintracht Trier sent FC-Astoria Walldorf home 3-0, SGV Freiberg lost 2-1 to VfR Aalen after conceding a goal in added time.

Trier punishes Walldorf’s risk

On Trier: The 2741 spectators in the Mosel Stadium hugged each other for the first time in the 48th minute when König processed a long ball from Boesen and placed the ball under the bar from a tight angle. When Walldorf was forced to take more and more risks, SV Eintracht countered coldly. Only in the 85th minute: König assisted Brandscheid. And with the last action, Debrah closed the lid (90 + 4).

Freiberg seemed to be heading for a similarly enjoyable afternoon in the 4th minute. Barini, 1.73 meters tall, jumped over opponents guards and headed in to take the lead. The awakening experience for a rather less creative VfR happened in the 31st minute. Via Abruscia and Bux, the ball reached the penalty area and Seitz, who was left alone, placed the ball in the goal. The sports and singing club worked out many standard situations and from these they became dangerous again and again. In between, Aalen could be happy not to fall behind. Until said injury time came and Müller won the ball against Thermann, passed to Abruscia and served Arcalean, who marked the winning goal.

At Bahlinger SC, Häringer will be the focus of the backslappers, because the 32-year-old headed out a 2-0 lead against VfB Stuttgart II (30th/60th), which the small VfB but through Kudala (62nd) and Wolf (78th) leveled. So Häringer had to play again, in the 82nd minute he headed a cross from the half-field to the winning goal over the line.

FSV Frankfurt beat TSG Balingen in the final meters. Substitute Bouthakrit got a bit earlier on a long ball in stoppage time and was brought down by TSG goalkeeper Binanzer. Leon Müller converted the imposed penalty.
