CSC 03 Kassel edged out TuS Hornau 3‑1 in a tightly contested German Bundesliga 5 fixture on June 7, 2026. The home side used a strong first‑half display to build a comfortable lead before holding off a second‑half surge from the visitors.

Match Overview

The game began evenly, with both teams creating half‑chances. CSC Kassel’s opener midway through the first half changed the momentum. A second goal just before half‑time gave the hosts a buffer that proved decisive. TuS Hornau scored early in the second half and pushed for an equaliser, but a late counter‑attack sealed the result for Kassel.

• 41st minute – 2‑0. Striker Philipp Adler latched onto a long ball, rounded the goalkeeper, and slotted into an empty net.

• 78th minute – 3‑1. A quick break saw Adler turn provider, crossing for substitute Nils Wagner to head home.

Tactical Battle

CSC Kassel operated in a compact 4‑4‑2 that allowed them to stay organised defensively while transitioning quickly on the break. TuS Hornau dominated possession after half‑time (58%), but lacked a cutting edge in the final third. Kassel’s discipline in defensive shape frustrated Hornau, whose only goal came from a moment of individual brilliance.
