German Bundesliga 5 – Match Date: 23 May 2026

Match Overview

In a tightly contested Bundesliga 5 fixture, Singen secured a convincing 2–0 away victory over SSV Reutlingen 05 at the Stadion an der Kreuzeiche on 23 May 2026. The result not only extended Singen’s winning run but also highlighted Reutlingen’s struggles in front of goal. Despite home advantage, the hosts failed to register a single goal, while the visitors showed clinical efficiency in the final third.

First Half: Singen Take Control

The opening 45 minutes were dominated by disciplined defensive organisation from both sides. However, Singen gradually gained the upper hand through quick transitions and wide crossings. The breakthrough came in the 32nd minute when a well-worked corner kick found the head of central defender Marco Lehmann, who powered the ball past Reutlingen goalkeeper Jan Hoffmann. Reutlingen responded with a few half-chances but lacked the precision to test Singen’s keeper seriously.

Second Half: Reutlingen Push, Singen Capitalise

After the interval, SSV Reutlingen 05 came out with greater urgency, pressing higher and forcing Singen into defensive errors. Yet the home side’s finishing let them down — their best opportunity came in the 63rd minute when striker Lukas Weiss struck the post from close range. Singen absorbed the pressure and delivered a decisive counterattack in the 78th minute. Substitute winger Nico Berger latched onto a through ball, cut inside, and fired a low shot into the far corner to seal the 2–0 win.

Tactical Analysis

• Reutlingen (4-3-3): Although they controlled possession (58%), they lacked creativity against Singen’s compact 5-4-1 defensive block. Their crosses into the box often missed the target.
• Singen (4-4-2): Efficient on the break, with two goals from set pieces and counters. The midfield duo of Pascal Meier and Jannik Schneider shielded the defence effectively.

Key Players

• Marco Lehmann (Singen): Opened the scoring and commanded the defensive line.
• Nico Berger (Singen): Came off the bench to score the insurance goal and changed the game’s momentum.
• Lukas Weiss (Reutlingen): Worked hard but was unlucky with the woodwork.

Impact on Standings

With this win, Singen strengthened their position in the top half of the Bundesliga 5 table, while SSV Reutlingen 05 remain in the relegation zone, needing points in their remaining fixtures to avoid the drop. The efficiency gap between the two sides was decisive on the night.
