Kassel defeats Frankfurt in the Hessenderby 4: 1 - cheers at the fans!

On April 6, 2025, KSV Hessen Kassel celebrated a convincing 4-1 win against FSV Frankfurt in the Hessenderby. This success marks the third victory in a row for Kassel within just nine days. Particularly noteworthy is the return of Lukas Rupp, who played in top shape after an injury and scored two goals. These build -up services could be crucial for the rest of the season, because Kassel urgently needs points in the fight for relegation.

The KSV Hessen Kassel started strongly in the Auestadion in front of 1,612 spectators. At first Jan Dahlke awarded a penalty in the 20th minute. After this setback, however, the hosts showed an impressive reaction. Lukas Rupp brought Kassel 1-0 in the 25th minute, followed by his second goal, which came about in the 28th minute. The player Cas Peters had previously touched the ball with his hand.

drama and joy in the second half

After the half -time break, Niko's Zographical native increased to 3-0 for Kassel in the 73rd minute. Frankfurt was hardly able to set dangerous accents in this phase, although Adrian Bravo Sanchez had a good opportunity to correct the results. However, the game took a controversial turn when Hassan Mourad scored the connecting goal in added time in the 90th+2 minute. Benjamin Hadzic and his header restored the old gap in the 90th+4 minute and sealed the clear success of the Kasseler with the 4: 1.

The defeat was already the third in a row for FSV Frankfurt, which increases the concerns about relegation. With a 12 -point behind an ascent zone and only six outstanding match days, the team from Frankfurt is under great pressure. Kassel is now 3 points ahead of a relegation zone, which arouses new hope.

table and season balance

Currently the KSV Hessen Kassel occupies 13th place in the regional league Südwest and achieved a total of 10 wins, 4 draws and 14 defeats this season. These results lead to a winning rate of 36%. This year is characterized by difficulties, both in the home and in the away game. While Kassel plays solid away (5 victories, 3 draws), the home form is worrying with only 5 wins from 14 games.

These developments are also a challenge for coach René Klingbeil, whose squad is weakened by injuries and locks. Players like Sercan Sararer, Emanuel Mirchev and Yannick Stark were missing against Frankfurt, which makes the team's organizational performance particularly remarkable.

In the coming weeks, Kassel will meet Kickers and Eintracht Trier in Stuttgart. These games will be crucial to secure the whereabouts in the regional league. The fans hope that the positive impulses from the derby can also be transferred to the upcoming games.
