FC Denzlingen 1 – 4 Nottingen
German Bundesliga 5 | 9 May 2026

Nottingen delivered a ruthless attacking display at the Kunstrasenplatz Denzlingen, crushing the home side 4-1 and moving clear of the mid‑table logjam. The visitors were clinical from start to finish, leaving FC Denzlingen with plenty to think about.

Early blitz sets the tone

Nottingen needed just nine minutes to open the scoring. Winger Lukas Möhrle cut inside from the right, exchanged a quick one‑two with the striker, and slotted past the Denzlingen keeper. The goal seemed to rattle the hosts, and by the 20th minute Nottingen were 2‑0 up when Marius Schneider headed home from a corner. Denzlingen pulled one back against the run of play in the 32nd minute through a scrappy finish from Tim Reuter, but Nottingen restored the two‑goal cushion just before half‑time when Fabian Kühl volleyed in from the edge of the box.

Second‑half cruise

Any hopes of a Denzlingen comeback were extinguished early in the second half. Nottingen’s attacking quartet continued to cause problems, and substitute Jonas Bäuerle added a fourth in the 58th minute with a precise shot after a fast counter‑attack. Denzlingen never looked like mounting a serious threat after that, and Nottingen comfortably saw out the match.

What the result means

Nottingen rise to 8th in the Bundesliga 5 standings, while FC Denzlingen drop to 12th. The defeat is Denzlingen’s third in five matches, with defensive frailties once again exposed. Nottingen, by contrast, have now scored 12 goals in their last four games and look a genuine threat in the final stretch of the season.

Match statistics (approximate): Possession: Denzlingen 46% – 54% Nottingen; Shots on target: 3‑7.
