SpVgg Ansbach gets off to a brilliant start, but Bayreuth wins 2-1 in the derby!
The eagerly awaited opening game of the new Regionalliga Bayern season 2025/26 took place today in the Xaver-Bertsch-Sportpark. The fans streamed into the arena in wonderful weather to watch the duel between SpVgg Ansbach and 1. FC Bayreuth. With 2,813 spectators, the atmosphere was great when the whistle kicked off at 7:11 p.m. This was a slight delay from the original 7 p.m. date due to a formal opening ceremony.
The Ansbachers started the game offensively and took the lead in the 8th minute with a goal from Niklas Seefried after a fine through ball from Angermeier. The home team dominated the first few minutes and had numerous good chances, especially through Kroiß and Schmidt. An offside goal from Hayer also caused excitement, but went unnoticed.
Tension until the last minute
But the people of Bayreuth were stubborn. In the 30th minute it was Felix Heim who equalized the score at 1-1 after a precise shot into the corner. This twist made the game more exciting. The Ansbachers could have taken the lead again before half-time, but the chances remained unused.
In the second half, Ansbach remained the dominant team, but failed to score the much-needed goals. Bayreuth, on the other hand, made it 2-1 in the 82nd minute through Alexander Seidel. A free kick, which presented the Ansbach defense with a difficult task, gave the guests the final lead. The Ansbach players tried everything in stoppage time to equalize, but Bayreuth's defense proved to be stable and maintained their lead until the final whistle.
The view
After this narrow defeat, SpVgg Ansbach is already looking ahead to the next game against Unterhaching. Coaches and players are determined to improve and delight fans with better performances. In addition, the duel in the BFV Cup against exactly the same opponent, Bayreuth, is scheduled for next week. The question is whether they can capitalize on the experience gained in this opening game.
Overall, the opening game was an exciting start to the new season, which thrilled the spectators and showed promising football potential on both sides. It remains to be seen whether Ansbach will recover from this defeat.
