Drama in the national league: Ali Aslan secures Gimbsheim last-minute point!
An exciting duel in the national league recently took place in SV Gimbsheim's home stadium. On October 26, 2025, SV Gimbsheim and SVW Mainz met, which ended in an instructive 1-1 draw. After the final whistle, coach Steven Jones was happy with the point win, especially because of his team's late equalizer. “We had many chances throughout the game, but our patience was only rewarded in the 87th minute,” said Jones after the exciting match.
The game started anything but optimally for the hosts. They fell behind in the 8th minute thanks to an unfortunate own goal from Yasin Yildiz. SVW Mainz, under the leadership of Patrick Unger, set the course for the game early on. But the Gimbsheimers did not allow themselves to be discouraged and took more and more control of the action, but missed several great opportunities to equalize.
Late rescue by Ali Aslan
What is it called? “If you don’t fight, you’ve already lost!” And that’s exactly what applies to the SV Gimbsheim players. In the final phase they mobilized their last strength and fought for the equalizer they deserved. Ali Aslan showed his instinct for the right moment in the 87th minute with a precise shot after a fine combination with Reda Chkifa and Piero Fragomeli. This goal was not only a relief, but also impressive proof of the team spirit of the home team.
For the fans and those responsible, the point win was a ray of hope, especially with a view to the next encounter. Next week they will play in the national cup against Schott Mainz, where the team could only be three points away from the pursuers in the promotion round.
