After a disappointing tie against the Fortuna Regensburg, Schönfeld made five changes in the starting eleven, which initially caused a positive initial phase. Aurel Kuqanaj had the chance to take the lead in the third minute, but failed twice due to the goalkeeper of Eltersdorfer, Oleksandr Churilov.

A free kick by Tobias Herzner hit the outdoor post (33rd minute) before Felix Rippert took the lead for the guests in the 41st minute. Just three minutes later, Rippert increased with an impressive shot from the edge of the box and sent the young hits with a 0-2 deficit in the half-time break.

The game took a clear turn, and despite some efforts by Ingolstadt, including a slatted hit by Florian Pollack and a post shot from Micah Ham, the resistance of the young hill was broken. Manuel Stark ensured the final 4: 0 in the 76th minute by dusting from a short distance.

A look into the future

Despite this bitter defeat, the Schanzer must focus on the next game as soon as possible.
