Kickers Offenbach win 3-2 against Walldorf despite their comeback!

An exciting game will take place in the Regionalliga Südwest today, November 1st, 2025. The Kickers Offenbach will meet FC Astoria Walldorf on matchday 15, a duel that is of great importance for both teams. Offenbach come into the match with the aim of defending their second place in the league so as not to fall behind in the promotion race. After their first defeat in five games, most recently 1:2 against Eintracht Trier, the Offenbachers are under pressure to get back on the road to success, as op-online.de reports.

Coach Kristjan Glibo, who is suspended due to a red card, will be represented by his assistant Eric Scharf. After the last game, Glibo criticized his team's erratic behavior and pointed out the lack of emotionality and aggressiveness. “The defensive behavior is reminiscent of basketball, you have to stay close to the opponent,” explained the coach and asked his players to act more focused. Defensive mistakes in particular often result in goals being conceded. Ron Berlinski returns to the team after his yellow card suspension, while the injuries to Boubacar Barry and Jayson Breitenbach have already healed. However, the condition of Dominik Crljenec and Vincent Moreno remains unclear.

An exciting duel

Walldorf, currently in 5th place, recently suffered a bitter 6-0 defeat against the second team from SC Freiburg, which Glibo described as a “slip”. This setback shows that the people of Walldorf are not invulnerable either. However, they have established themselves well in the regional league over the years and can rely on a strong team.

In the first part of the game, it was Nazarov who gave Kickers Offenbach the lead in the 18th minute. Offenbach obviously had their chances to decide the game early on, as both Urbich and Giesel failed at the Walldorf goal. But the hosts improved and equalized through Boziaris in injury time of the first half. A hard-fought game that also captivated the spectators.

The path to victory

Offenbach started the second half furiously: Knothe took the lead again in the 57th minute, followed by Urbich, who made it 3-1 just two minutes later. Despite a late response from Walldorf through Rienhardt in the 83rd minute, the Kickers remained victorious in the end. The game ended 3-2, securing valuable points for Offenbach to consolidate second place.

The Kickers Offenbach have not only rehabilitated themselves, but also show that they want to defend their place in the table with full commitment. The exact statistics for the current season illustrate the consistency and competitive strength of the team, as shown by the results in the last games, also shown by footystats.org.

With these three points under their belt, the Kickers now have to be careful not only to continue their upward trend, but also to act strategically correctly against their upcoming opponents. Fans can look forward to more exciting encounters!
