SVWW wins 2:1 against FC Ingolstadt
SVWW coach Daniel Scherning made only one change to his starting lineup after the 1-2 defeat in Regensburg, bringing in Schleimer for Johansson, who took a seat on the bench. Although scoring chances were few and far between in the first 30 minutes, the home side still managed to impress. And after 32 minutes, the moment finally arrived: Schleimer scored with a beautiful shot to make it 1-0. Just five minutes later, the visitors' keeper Eisele prevented Flotho from scoring the next goal. And only a few minutes later, Ingolstadt's Costly hit the crossbar. The score remained 1-0 for the red and black team in their magnificent red jerseys, celebrating the 100th anniversary of their parent club SV Wehen.
The second half began like the first, without any major scoring chances. And in the 58th minute, the visitors weakened themselves. After a revenge foul on Gözüsirin, Carlsen was sent off with a red card. And then the Wiesbaden team had another chance in the 75th minute through record player Mockenhaupt, but the ball went wide of the goal. But then the entire game seemed to be turned on its head, as Plath scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 85th minute with the first chance of the second half. It would have been undeserved after the performance, and so Gözüsirin scored the deserved 2-1 winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time, keeping Wiesbaden in fifth place and within striking distance of the promotion spots.
