Drama in the AOK district cup: TV Straßdorf fails after catching up!
Football fans in the region can look forward to an exciting cup weekend - especially after the dramatic events of the AOK District Cup on October 9, 2025. Not only was football history written here, but there was also pure excitement that captivated the spectators.
The day began with the game between SSV Aalen and TV Straßdorf, which could go down in football history. After a clear 3-0 deficit thanks to goals from Yildiz (10th), Gülbahar (68th) and Kukic (80th), everything seemed lost for TV Straßdorf. But the team showed incredible fighting spirit and fought their way back into added time. The goals from Herr (83rd), Buchstab (90th+3) and Blessing (90th+8) caused a dramatic turnaround that made the fans cheer and the game went to a penalty shootout. It was ultimately a nerve-wracking duel - 14 penalties had to be taken, with TV Straßdorf missing the 13th penalty, while Gülbahar was successful for Aalen, which meant the final score was 9:10 in the penalty shootout. A drama that won't happen again any time soon, as the Schwäbische Post reports.
Derbies and surprises in the second round
In the derby, TV Neuler defeated TSV Hüttlingen with a narrow 0-1. The decisive goal came in the 51st minute from Köppe, who sparked the celebrations of his teammates and fans. In another exciting game, FV 08 Unterkochen beat Türkspor Heidenheim 3-1. Eller scored the first goal for Unterkochen in the 17th minute, before Werner (39′) and the two further goals from Weisensee (65′) and Jakobschy (90+1) secured the success. Unterkochen shows that they are really high on the agenda in the cup this season, as they have now reached the quarter-finals for the third time in a row.
In the second round there were also some exciting games that made people sit up and take notice. SGM Lautern-Essingen won their meeting with TSG Giengen 7:6 after a thrilling penalty shootout. TSV Großdeinbach clearly won against SV Lauchheim 4:2 and VFL Gerstetten also won 5:4 on penalties against 1. FC Stern Mögglingen.
Looking forward to the next round
The games next Sunday also promise a lot of excitement. In the Aalen area, encounters such as TV Neuler II against Rosenberg and SC Unterschneidheim against TSV Adelmannsfelden are on the calendar. Things are also getting interesting in the Schwäbisch Gmünd area with games like SGM Lautern-Essingen II and TV Straßdorf. In particular, the SGM Heldenfingen/Heuchlingen II has already made it into the third round with a bye, as the information from Schwäbischen.de shows.
The enthusiasm for football is unbroken, and the AOK district cup remains a highlight in regional sporting events. The teams are ready to compete and the fans can look forward to many more unforgettable moments!
