FC Gießen convincingly defeats Hessen Kassel in the derby with 3: 1

FC Gießen has impressively showed that the first defeat of the season in the Regionalliga Südwest is no reason to worry. In the exciting Hessenderby against KSV Hessen Kassel in the home square, the Gießener prevailed 3-1. The atmosphere in the stadium was electrifying, and the spectators felt that their team was determined from the start.

The game development was decided early when the Gießen temporary captain Tolga Duran was on hand in the 15th minute after a flank that could not hold the Kassel goalkeeper Franz Langhoff. Just five minutes later, Younes Ebnoutalib had the Central Hesse Jubiled up again. After a successful counterattack, he completed the attack precisely and thus ensured a 2-0 lead. This fast double strike put the course for casting in this game and immediately under pressure. The guests later became braver, but could not prevent Dominik Rummel from scoring 3-0 in the 60th minute. He headed a corner from Duran on the net.

The reactions of the players

The answer to this clear lead was not long in coming. Maurice Springfeld from Kassel scored the connecting goal in the 88th minute, but this came too late for the lions, who now have to deal with a further defeat after a solid initial phase. It was the second defeat for the Kasseler this season, which did not exactly improve their away form. The Gießeners, on the other hand, were able to find the right answer after the recent defeat in Mainz (1: 3) and climb into the next games with new confidence.

Another moment of noteworthy was the appearance of FSV Frankfurt, which also impressively started his game against Bahlinger SC. Lukas Gottwalt put in the lead in the 62nd minute, but a late shock followed when Luca Köbele equalized in added time. Frankfurt is now on an uncertain placement, since the decision about the ranking depends on his upcoming opponents.

The duel of Eintracht Frankfurt II, on the other hand, ends in a further defeat for the team, which has not been able to show any punch in the season so far. Eintracht not only lost against Villingen, who were able to win their first game, but also worrying about slipping in the table.

This matchday once again showed how tricky and exciting the Regionalliga Südwest is. The twists that take place in the games make every encounter unpredictable and exciting. The Gießeners can look forward to their convincing derby victory and will tackle the next challenges with new enthusiasm, while Kassel urgently needs to ask where the causes of the lost game are to be found. The next games will show how these teams can position themselves in the table and whether watering can maintain the swing.
