VfB Oldenburg is shaking after a 3-2 win against Flensburg – tension remains!

What an exciting football game! On October 18, 2025, VfB Oldenburg celebrated a narrow but deserved 3-2 win against Weiche Flensburg. The game took place in front of 1,024 spectators and was characterized by some exciting moments that made every fan's heart beat faster. Julian Boccaccio once again proved to be a goal guarantor and contributed two goals in the 3rd and 19th minutes. With a total of six goals and nine assists this season, Boccaccio impressively shows why he is one of the key figures in the team.[nwzonline.de]

Oldenburg went into the break with a 3-0 lead after Mats Facklam scored his 13th goal of the season in the 44th minute, which was also set up by Boccaccio's first goal. However, after the break they let up a bit and had to tremble again in the final phase. Ermal Pepshi fouled Marshal Faleu in the penalty area, which gave Flensburg the chance to connect. Dominic Hartmann converted the penalty in the 81st minute, and just three minutes later Faleu headed the score to 2-3.

Excitement in the Regionalliga Nord

The victory was already the twelfth from the last 13 league games, an impressive result that lifted VfB Oldenburg to second place in the table, level on points with their pursuers SV Drochtersen/Assel, who also didn't want to allow any slip-ups with a clear 7-2 win against VfB Lübeck. The title fight in the Regionalliga Nord remains exciting because no team can afford to make mistakes.[nwzonline.de]

Looking back a year, the team would have presented itself in a completely different light. Dario Fossi led the club from the relegation places to the top of the table. At the beginning of this season, Oldenburg also had match days where they shone with high results, such as the 6-1 win against HSC Hannover.[kicker.de]

Injuries as a challenge

Nevertheless, the club faces some challenges. Injury problems are plaguing the defense and several key players are currently out of action. Leon Deichmann has torn a muscle bundle, which leaves a gap. Captain Patrick Möschl is struggling with thigh problems and will have to take a break for an indefinite period of time. For the next game against BW Lohne, the defensive line consisting of Nico Mai and Ermal Pepshi could be lined up, even if the team has had difficulties against this team in the past.[kicker.de]

New to the VfB squad is 19-year-old Japanese Sohei Iwasaki, who was bought as a promising player. The club has decided to sign a player without a contract as an emergency solution for the defense in order to secure the necessary depth in the squad.[kicker.de]

We can look forward to the next matchday. VfB Oldenburg wants to defend their lead in the table with all their might and will do everything they can to continue their recent successes. Fans can be happy that their team is on the rise, despite the defensive challenges. Would anyone have thought that the club that was in a relegation battle just a year ago would now be so popular?[kicker.de]
