Pure excitement: Eichstätt and Ansbach draw 2-2 in a thrilling duel!

On September 21, 2025, the Bavarian Regional League was once again the scene of exciting football action when Eichstätt and Ansbach met. Both teams came into the game with different signs: While Ansbach arrived after two league wins and a strong cup appearance against Regensburg, Eichstätt started the season with 16 points. These conditions already made it clear that both teams were willing to get the most out of their current form.

The game started with an early shock for the hosts. In the 14th minute, Seefried gave Ansbach a 0-1 lead. But Eichstätt didn't let that discourage them and just six minutes later, Schittler equalized to make it 1-1. The subsequent pressure phase from Eichstätter until half-time could have led to a lead, but the chances remained unused. It remains to be noted that Eichstätt had the better opportunities in the first period, but was not yet able to put it on the scoreboard for the audience.

Exciting progress in the second half

After the break, events continued to pick up pace. In the 71st minute, Angermeier made it 2-1 for Eichstätt after a shot from Bösl was unfortunately deflected. It seemed as if Eichstätt could claim victory. However, Ansbach kept calm and came dangerously in front of the goal again in the 83rd minute when Kroiß missed a great opportunity.

The big upset came in stoppage time: a foul by Weeger ensured that Ansbach was awarded a penalty. Fries didn't take long to convert and made the final score 2-2. An exciting and varied game, but in the end there was no winner for either team.

Outlook for the upcoming games

Ansbach will play against TSV Buchbach on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The form curve could be crucial because the league is very competitive. kicker.de describes that the number of spectators in the stadiums in the Regionalliga Bayern has increased slightly. This could also be due to the growing popularity of the league, as the Bavarian Football Association states in its latest report. In particular, the regional league has the most Instagram followers among all five regional leagues.

The exciting development of German football, especially the Bavarian Regional League, does not go unnoticed. Weekly live streams from Bayerischer Rundfunk also offer fans a platform to follow the league outside of the stadiums. bfv.de reported that around 5.3 million people were reached through summaries on television and live streams last season.
