FC Saarbrücken triumphs 2-1 – Schweinfurt has no chance despite catching up!

The tension in the stadium in Saarbrücken was literally palpable on September 19, 2025, when 1. FC Saarbrücken and 1. FC Schweinfurt met. This encounter had everything that makes a footballer's heart beat faster: drama on the pitch, a clear superiority of the hosts in the first half and the visitors' comeback after the break.

The game started with a hectic start, which resulted in two yellow cards for the guests, Lucas Zeller and Manuel Wintzheimer. That early tension announced that both teams would give it their all. Saarbrücken let the ball run and was dominant. Kai Brünker, who was particularly in the mood that day, netted twice for the home team - first in the 23rd minute and then again in the 30th minute. The statistics spoke volumes at half-time: with 65% ball possession, Saarbrücken led 2-0. The guests from Schweinfurt were clearly inferior, which was also reflected in the injury to Pius Krätschmer, who was initially left out due to a head change and had Schweinfurt play with ten men for a short time.

Schweinfurt shows fighting spirit

But what seemed like a setback for the guests ended with renewed energy. In the second half, the Schweinfurt team showed significant improvement. Lauris Bausenwein, who is well known to Schweinfurt fans, brought his team back into the game in the 52nd minute with a beautiful dropkick from close range and thus scored the goal. Many spectators had the feeling that the momentum was now on the guests' side.

The intensity increased and with the red card against Rizzuto, Schweinfurt even had the advantage. However, Johannes Geis missed the great opportunity to equalize by shooting just wide in the 76th minute. Despite their fighting performance, Schweinfurt was unable to get the equalizer they deserved. The last chance was of no use and so it remained 2-1 for Saarbrücken.
