FC Gießen in a nine-goal thriller: dramatic defeat against Göppingen!
Tolga Duran and FC Gießen are still without a win after a dramatic encounter in the Regionalliga Südwest. The game against Göppinger SV developed into a real firework of goals, which, despite many twists and turns and a notable comeback, ultimately ended in disaster for the Central Hesse team.
In this exciting match, which took place at the weekend, Gießen had to go into the break shortly before half-time with a 2-1 deficit. Despite being outnumbered, after Nicola Köhler was shown the yellow-red card, the team showed a remarkable reaction. They turned the game around and took a 4-3 lead at one point. But Göppingen didn't give up, equalized and gave Gießen the knockout blow in the last minute with the decisive goal from Oghuzan Kececi. "The poor conversion of chances has haunted us in the last few games. Today we scored goals, but that's not enough if we don't take a point in the end," explained player-coach Michael Fink.
Fink's team has been without a win since the end of August and the next challenge won't get any easier. There is a lot of pressure at the bottom of the table, especially after falling back to last place in the table. Hessen Kassel, another team in the relegation zone, was unable to break away from Giessen as they lost 1-0 in a weak game at SGV Freiberg. Meanwhile, TSV Steinbach Haiger was able to celebrate a 3-1 win against FC Villingen and thus consolidate the top half of the table.
FSV Frankfurt proved to be strong in the city derby against Eintracht Frankfurt II and secured top spot with a confident 3-1 win. Despite the shock for Gießen, this encounter has positive effects on the rest of the competition.
This dramatic game will certainly go down in the annals of the Regionalliga, where promotions and relegations as well as disappointments and triumphs are close together. Further information about this exciting football game is available can be found here.
