TSG Balingen fights for victory and leads the table

The striker Jan Ferdinand was allowed to form the offensive with Halim Eroglu from the start.

The course of the game initially gave hope for a dominant performance by the Balinger, but the local host came with another strategy, which TSG manager Jonathan Annel confirmed. Nöttingen relied on a compact game that made it difficult to find Balingen in the usual flow of the game. This made the game on the small, tight field in Nöttingen a real challenge. A quick change of leadership did not take place, and it took patience to create the first important chances.

High event density and important goals

The goal of Sascha Eisele in the 23rd minute was essential for the Balingen leadership. After a standard that the Badeners did not consistently clarify, Eisele was able to use the opportunity. Despite the initial pressure of the Nöttinger, who missed a good chance through Kickers loan David Stojak in the 30th minute, Balingen held the lead until half-time. Annel described the performance of his team as "not undeserved" and noticed that the opponent showed good approaches, which increased the intensity of the game.

Even after the change of sides, the game remained intensive, whereby Nöttingen tried to achieve the balance. In the 56th minute, they managed to do this with a goal from Klemm, which changed the minds of Balingen. Now mental strength was required. Jannis Rabold and Olgun Tubluk provided further excitement, while Balingen came under pressure and the Nöttinger developed several good opportunities.

Balingen remains efficient

Despite the pressure of the hosts, Balingen took the lead again in the 67th minute by Pedro Almeida Morais. The quick counterattack on the substitute Ole Deiniger led to this goal, which was also classified as "a little happy" by Annel, since the opponent had hit the post only seconds earlier. In the subsequent hectic final phase, Balingen fought off the pressure of the Nöttinger and held the narrow 2-1 until the final whistle. This victory was not only important for the Balinger, but also brought it to the top of the table, which is considered a remarkable success, especially after four consecutive victories in the league.
