Fight for the first point: Alzenau welcomes challenger Freiburg II!

Fight for the first point: Alzenau welcomes challenger Freiburg II!

On August 15, 2025, FC Bayern Alzenau met OFC and suffered a bitter 0-1 defeat. The game, which took place in front of over 10,000 spectators, left the Alzenauer team without any points after two games. Coach Kreso Ljubicic was visibly disappointed, but praised his team's performance. Gaoussou Dabo in particular was praised for his remarkable defensive work, despite losing the game.

The situation could hardly be more challenging for Alzenau, because there is also a big chunk on the agenda for the upcoming home game on Saturday at 2 p.m.: SC Freiburg II. This team has scored both 0:3 and 5:3 in their previous games, which underlines the abilities of their upcoming opponents. Ljubicic has already analyzed Freiburg meticulously and emphasized that FC Bayern urgently needs to score points.

Missed opportunities and injuries

Alzenau had a goal disallowed for offside in the previous game and also missed a penalty, which only adds to the frustration with the outcome. A look at the injured players shows that Luka Garic and Marko Ferukoski are suspended and Ahmet Aygül is not available, which makes the situation in midfield significantly more difficult.

One bright spot for Alzenau, however, is that they haven't conceded a goal from the game so far. All goals conceded resulted from set pieces, which can certainly be approached strategically.

Cultural highlights in Alzenau

In parallel to the sporting situation, there is also a lot to report culturally. The Alzenau city library offers exciting, latest literature. A highlight is the novel “The Wedding People” by Alison Espach, which has been a New York Times bestseller since its first edition was published in 2025. Set in the quaint Cornwall Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, the story follows protagonist Phoebe Stone, who is mistaken for a wedding guest. This humorous and emotional novel is not only entertaining, but also characterized by deep insights into interpersonal relationships.

These cultural aspects show that Alzenau is not just a city for football enthusiasts. There is also a thriving literary scene here that invites you to linger. So if you want to spend a relaxing afternoon after football, you will find a literary home in the city library.

In summary, there is a lot going on in Alzenau, both sportingly and culturally. The coming days will show whether Alzenau will emerge from its sporting slump and at the same time remain an interesting contact point in the cultural sector.
