Hollenbach's last-minute miracle: victory after a 0-2 deficit!
What a dramatic evening game in Hollenbach! FSV Hollenbach secured their long-awaited liberation on October 26, 2025 with a 3-2 win against SSV Reutlingen. After a five-game losing streak, the team under coach Reinhard Schenker showed an impressive turnaround and gave the fans a last-minute victory. Sure, it’s fun!
However, the start of the game couldn't have been worse for Hollenbach: in the fourth minute, an own goal was scored by a Hollenbach player after a standard situation and the home team was 0-1 behind. Coach Schenker described this early deficit as paralyzing, but after the first ten minutes Hollenbach took control. Like a ball in the wind, the team was unable to assert itself decisively in the first half, even though goalkeeper Nico Purtscher's defensive work was strong when he defused a dangerous shot on goal. Hollenbach went into halftime 0-1, but had a positive feeling that the game could still be turned around, as fupa.net reported.
Turning points in the game
The second half began with another historic setback when Konstantinos Markopoulos increased Reutlingen's lead to 0-2 in the 55th minute. However, that didn't seem to break Hollenbach's fighting spirit. The turning point came in the 58th minute: a penalty for Hollenbach and the yellow-red card for Luca Plattenhardt from Reutlingen brought a breath of fresh air into the game. Hannes Scherer safely converted the penalty to make it 1:2 and the pressure on the guests increased.
In the last minutes of regular time, Hollenbach's pressure was hard to stop. After Sebastian Schiek headed the score to 2-2 in the 90th minute, the spectators were over the moon. But the crowning achievement came in the tenth minute of stoppage time: Felix Limbach scored the 3-2 winner. A real football fairy tale that made the fans cheer!
A new beginning
FSV Hollenbach's positive performance brought them 11th place with 16 points and a new confidence. The coach praised the team for their commitment and passion, especially after a difficult phase. “Incredible, a huge compliment to my boys,” Schenker summed up the mood perfectly, as stimme.de reported.
With this victory behind him, Hollenbach is now looking optimistically at the challenges ahead. The next opponent, FC 08 Villingen, will certainly be another tough nut to crack in the relegation battle. But with such a performance behind them, the FSV is ready to hold its own against this opponent.
The enthusiasm for football remains unbroken. This is reflected not least in the DFB's enormous membership of around 8 million, as mentioned in statista.com. The sport of football attracts people everywhere and inspires people in stadiums and in front of televisions alike. With performances like those from FSV Hollenbach, football remains the number one sport in Germany - and not just on paper!
