ECDC Memmingen triumphed 3: 0 - defensive performance inspires 1,850 fans!

In a gripping duel that took place on October 4, 2025, the Freek Indians from Memmingen said "all clear" against the Deggendorf team. With an impressive 3-0 win in front of just under 1,850 spectators, the Memmingen demonstrated that they can play at the top. Despite a personnel understaff, since defenders Patrick Kurz and Sven Schirrmacher were not available, players under coach Daniel Huhn showed a strong defensive team performance.

The first round was characterized by tactics and ended goalless. Both teams acted defensively, so that numerous opportunities were only guessed at for the audience. In the 23rd minute, Brett Ouderkirk finally broke silence and scored the 1-0 for the Indians. Denis Fominych added in the 33rd minute and increased to 2: 0. In the last third, Deggendorf tried everything, put the goalkeeper on the bench and brought an additional player for the storm, but the Memmingen defensive was standing. Even when they had to act outnumbered (4 against 6), they didn't allow an opposing goal. Eddy Homjakov made the 3-0 final score in the final phase. This is how Justus Roth celebrated his first "to 0" in the Memmingen jersey.

Outlook for the next games

The next game for the FRO-Indians is coming up next Sunday. The SC Rießersee is expected in Memmingen at 6 p.m. Fans can look forward to an exciting game, especially since the Indians want to perform with the same determination with which they defeated Deggendorf.
