Drama in the RASTA Dome: Vechta misses victory against Bayern in the thriller!
In the RASTA Dome in Vechta, the game between RASTA Vechta and FC Bayern Munich on November 9, 2025 provided the best entertainment, even if there was no happy ending for the home team. The Vechta team had to admit defeat with 74:77. The game was a real thriller that kept viewers glued to the screen until the last second.
The starting conditions were anything but ideal for RASTA, as both playmaker Tommy Kuhse, who was sidelined with a thigh injury, and captain Joschka Ferner were absent. Despite this handicap, RASTA started poorly, immediately falling behind 0:10, but quickly recovering. In the third quarter, the team even took the lead with 53:40, which made the 3,140 spectators in the sold-out RASTA Dome cheer.
Top scorers and game history
Alonzo Verge particularly stood out and scored 15 points in the first half and 22 points in total, which means he should go down in the annals of this exciting game as the top scorer. Lloyd Pandi also delivered an outstanding performance, narrowly missing a double-double with 12 points and 9 rebounds.
The half-time break finally ended with a score of 41:38 for RASTA. But the joy of leadership didn't last long. Bayern, led by NBA star Spencer Dinwiddie and world champion Andi Obst, fought back. In particular, Kamar Baldwin, who contributed to the turnaround with 15 points, was crucial to Munich's success.

On Tuesday, RASTA travels to Lisbon to face Sporting CP in the FIBA Europe Cup. The team's next chance to keep the fans in their seats will be on November 19th, when Dinamo BDS Sassari visits the RASTA Dome.
Although the game against Bayern was painful, the Vechta team must not despair. “There’s something going on” – with a strong squad and the support of the loyal fans, the next game will also be an exciting duel. Maybe RASTA will succeed in living the values of Rastafari and regaining sporting happiness.
The Rastafari movement, which originated in Jamaica in the 1930s and is known for its values of community and emancipation, has created a remarkable bond through the relationships between sport and culture. Their philosophy and striving for self-realization still inspire many today, just as they did with figures like Bob Marley in the history of reggae music.
