Preußen Münster celebrates its first victory: Nuremberg remains without a point!

On August 24, 2025, the most exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga took place at the Preußen Münster stadium when Preußen Münster finally won 2-1 against 1. FC Nürnberg. This was the Münster team's first win this season, which means they now have four points to their name, while the Nuremberg team are still without a point.

In the first half, the home team showed their superiority and went into the half-time break 2-0 with goals from Oliver Batista-Meier in the 32nd minute and Marvin Schulz in the 43rd minute. In this phase of the game, the Münster team were clearly the better team, but had to worry about victory in the second half. Nuremberg increased the pressure and scored the next goal through Rafael Lubach in the 74th minute, but failed to turn the game around again.

The second half and exciting decisions

As the second half began, the game became more intense for the guests from Nuremberg. Schenk, Nuremberg's goalkeeper, showed his skills with several saves, but the Nuremberg team couldn't score more than one goal despite a few attempts. Münster defended strongly and only allowed a few chances to score. Referee Jarno Wienefeld, making his debut in the second division, had to make some tricky decisions. Among other things, he incorrectly decided on a goal kick instead of a corner, which ultimately led to a yellow card for Luka Lochoshvili.

In four minutes of stoppage time, Münster withstood the pressure from Nuremberg and secured their first win of the season. This victory came after an unfortunate first round of the cup, in which Münster lost on penalties against Hertha BSC and Nuremberg was also eliminated early against a regional league team. A significant change took place for both teams: While Münster made some tactical changes, Nuremberg brought four new players into the game.

A look at the statistics

Here is a brief overview of the game events:

Coach Klose initially ordered captain Knoche to the bench and had to do without several players who were not in the starting eleven. There was also unrest before the game when ex-captain Lorenz was removed from the team due to irregularities. This suggests that there is still a lot of room for improvement at Münster, while Nuremberg continues to search for their first point of the season.

So it remains to be seen how both teams will fare in the coming games after causing a sensation in this game. At Münster, the first win can hopefully mobilize new strength, while Nuremberg needs to regroup and have a plan to get out of their current misery. More exciting encounters can be expected as the league continues to develop.
