Relegation battle: Dramatic defeat for TSG Balingen against Bahlingen!
On All Saints' Day, November 1st, 2025, an exciting basement duel between TSG Balingen and Bahlinger SC took place in the Regionalliga Südwest. In pleasant temperatures, numerous football fans flocked to the stands, but the encounter took a dramatic turn that left supporters of both teams in suspense. The Black Forest Messenger reports on a game that was marked by many turning points.
TSG Balingen opened the game furiously: In the 8th minute, Denis Latifovic converted a penalty and set the first mark with a 1-0. But Bahlinger SC didn't wait long and equalized 1-1 in the 16th minute with a penalty from Hasan Pepic. Balingen actually had control of the game, but did not have the necessary penetration to achieve clear goals.
Chaotic final phase
The second half brought the big drama. At first the Balingers were weak, but after an offensive change in the 57th minute, Bahlinger SC took the lead through Rico Wehrle to make it 2-1. Balinger didn't let themselves get down and equalized through Simon Klostermann in the 62nd minute, only to fall behind again a short time later when Holger Bux made it 3-2 for Bahlingen in the 73rd minute.
In the 92nd minute, Balinger managed to equalize again to make it 3-3 with a last-minute goal from Jonas Brändle. But hope was short-lived: in the 95th minute, Marco Bauer scored the decisive goal for Bahlinger SC to make it 4-3. This result caused TSG Balingen to slip deeper into the relegation battle, as the gap to Bahlingen was now only two points.
Coach perspective
The disappointment at TSG Balingen is great. Assistant coach Daniel Güney and head coach Murat Isik commented after the game: They were dissatisfied with the performance and the lack of basics in the game. In a league as competitive as the Regionalliga Südwest - which this season has 18 teams from Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland - every point counts in order not to slip into even deeper abysses. The Wikipedia article on the regional league 2024-25 provides a wealth of information that illustrates the challenges in this league.
The coming period will be crucial for TSG Balingen in order not to lose touch. The Regionalliga Südwest is highly competitive, and the pressure will grow with every subsequent game. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether Balingen can make the necessary adjustments to emerge from the crisis. Maybe the upcoming winter change in the football season will help bring a breath of fresh air into the team!
