Kickers Offenbach cheers: 3-1 victory against Villingen with an outnumbered!

On Maundy Thursday, April 27, 2025, the Kickers Offenbach triumphed 3-1 in front of FC 08 Villingen in front of a home backdrop. The victory took place in the stadium on Bieberer Berg under floodlights and was followed by 5,215 spectators. Despite a clear 1: 5 defeat against Homburg in the previous game, the team of coach Christian Neidhart was improved.

With the victory, Offenbach holds his minimum chance of the title, even if the distance to leader Hoffenheim II is now ten points. In addition, there are only five games on the program until the end of the season. However, Neidhart, who has announced that it will end the collaboration with the club after this season, will be faced with the challenge of whether he can continue to look after the last games.

games and services

The Offenbach team competed against Villingen with a strongly weakened team, since eight players were missing due to injury. The game report sheet could not be fully occupied. Nevertheless, the OFC succeeded in doing offensive, and the starting eleven included the double leadership Urbich and Mustafa.

The game started promising for the Offenbacher. Kristjan Arh Cesen already scored 1-0 in the 7th minute with a header after a corner kick. Just nine minutes later, in the 16th minute, Valdrin Mustafa increased to 2: 0 with a precise long -range shot from 25 meters. Villingen reacted, reduced by Karlo Kuranyi to 2: 1 (25th minute), but Mustafa set up his double pack in the 52nd minute with another goal. The final 3: 1 gave Villingen no chance of a turn.

events and references

The course of the game was decisively shaped by the red card for the Villingen captain Nico Tadic in the 45th minute. He received the card after an assault against Nazarov, which forced Villingen on the defensive in the second half. Despite numerical superiority, the OFC was unable to use a few chances, including a shot from Wulff, which roamed the latte in the 66th minute.

In the final phase of the game, Offenbach had other ways to expand the lead, but missed the result even more clearly. This performance, coupled with a solid appearance by the goalkeeper Brinkies, who parried a dangerous shot in the 80th minute, secured the deserved victory.

The event not only emphasizes the football qualities of the Offenbachers, but also shows the challenges under the outgoing trainer Neidhart. In an interview with Managing Director Christian Hock, Neidhart plans to discuss the further seasonal orientation, while the sporting future of the club in the regional league Südwest continues to depend on these decisions.
