Ansbach celebrates a thrilling 3-2 win against Augsburg II in the basement duel!

In the exciting basement duel in the Regionalliga Bayern, SpVgg Ansbach secured an important three points today with a 3-2 win against FC Augsburg II. The game, which took place in the Xaver-Bertsch-Sportpark and was originally scheduled as a catch-up game on matchday 4, provided a lot of excitement and thrilling moments on the pitch.

Both teams urgently needed to collect points in the relegation battle. While Augsburg were stuck in the relegation zone with just four points from seven games, Ansbach showed a clear improvement in performance. Ansbacher's last games were promising: although they suffered an unfortunate defeat in the state cup against Jahn Regensburg, they remained unbeaten twice in the league, which gave them a boost. So fussballn.de reports that sporting director Christoph Hasselmeier looks back on a 3-0 home win against Aschaffenburg and still points out that there is still room for improvement.

Tension until the last minute

The game began with a committed performance from Ansbach, who created several chances in the first half. Despite good opportunities, such as a header from Dietrich that was saved on the line, the score remained 0-0 at halftime. Augsburg, on the other hand, also had opportunities, but the Ansbach defense held strong against them.

The second half started with a shock for the Ansbachers when Deger scored the first goal for Augsburg in the 47th minute - a precise long-range shot that caused the net to fidget. But the host's response didn't take long to arrive: just four minutes later, Weeger confidently converted a penalty and made it 1-1.

The dramaturgy of the encounter continued: In the 68th minute, Florian Hangl put Augsburg in the lead again. However, the game took an unexpected turn when referee Burghartswieser was injured, leading to a disruption of over 20 minutes. The assistant Grunert took over the management until the end.

A sequel with a dream goal

In stoppage time it was the Ansbachers who finally hit back. In the 93rd minute, Angermeier missed a great opportunity and made the fans hold their breath at first, but then, in the 103rd minute, Manz scored a dream goal from 25 meters to make it 2-2. A few moments later, Hayer received a yellow-red card for a foul, which further complicated the situation for Augsburg.

In the 111th minute it was Nuhanovic who made the game decisive with a clever lob over the goalkeeper that sealed the 3-2 victory for Ansbach. With this important victory, the Ansbachers can carry their heads a little higher again, while Augsburg remains in the bottom of the table and urgently needs to look for solutions. This is how kicker.de describes the emotional highlights and the exciting turn of the game.

With this success, Ansbach has not only regained hope for better times, it also shows that they have the right touch this season. The fans can be excited to see what happens next!
