Bad Honnef celebrates a late equalizer: Timo Balte saves the point in Mondorf!

On Thursday evening, October 31, 2025, the teams from TuS Mondorf and FV Bad Honnef met in the state league. The exciting duel ended in a 2-2 draw, which was saved for Bad Honnef by a late equalizer from Timo Balte in the second minute of added time. A twist that led the game to a dramatic final phase.

The game got off to a furious start: Bad Honnef's captain, Markus Wiemer, scored from a corner in the third minute and gave the team an early lead. But the answer from TuS Mondorf followed quickly. Haytam Bouskouchi, who scored his seventh goal of the season, equalized in the 38th minute. He wasn't the last to draw attention as the game increased in intensity as the second half progressed.

Turning points in the game

After halftime, TuS coach Julian Fälber reacted and brought on Gerrit Vos for Luca Viola. This substitution decision had an effect, as Ioannis Simeonidis gave the hosts the lead in the 54th minute. But despite some promising counterattack opportunities, Mondorf was unable to take advantage of them, which caused the displeasure of department head Martin Krämer.

The final minutes belonged to Bad Honnef, who played powerfully to equalize. Coach Benjamin Krayer was critical of the “headless style of play” in the last ten minutes, but ultimately Balte was able to secure the point. Krayer described the draw as a “perceived defeat”, but acknowledged that the distribution of points over 90 minutes was justified.

Prospects and table situation

With this draw, Bad Honnef remains in third place in the table for the time being. TuS Mondorf, which has now recorded seven draws, is currently in twelfth place. There is a lot at stake for both teams in the coming weeks, especially for Mondorf, which urgently needs a turnaround to avoid coming under pressure in the relegation battle.
