TSV Kornburg 1-3 Eintracht Bamberg — Regionalliga Bayern (German Bundesliga 5)

Eintracht Bamberg extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a convincing 3‑1 victory over TSV Kornburg at the Sportanlage Kornburg on 16 May 2026. The win lifted Bamberg into the top six of the Regionalliga Bayern, while Kornburg’s relegation fears deepened.

Match Overview

Bamberg came into the fixture in confident mood, and they quickly imposed themselves on the game. Kornburg, fighting desperately for survival, took an early lead through a deflected strike in the 12th minute, but Bamberg responded with three unanswered goals before the hour mark.

First‑Half Fightback

After falling behind, Bamberg did not panic. Midfielder Jonas Hofmann equalised in the 28th minute, smashing a volley from the edge of the area after a cleared corner. The visitors then took the lead five minutes before half‑time: striker Lukas Görtler latched onto a long ball, held off a defender, and slotted past the goalkeeper.

Kornburg’s frustration boiled over just before the break when defender Marcel Ruppert was booked for a late challenge. The hosts struggled to regain their composure.

Second Half and Sealing the Win

Bamberg came out for the second half with renewed purpose. In the 54th minute, winger Maximilian Bauer cut inside from the left and curled a precise shot into the far corner to make it 3‑1. Kornburg pushed forward in the closing stages but could not find a way past the well‑organised Bamberg defence, which had now kept clean sheets in five of their last seven matches.

The victory moved Bamberg into fifth place, while Kornburg remained in 17th, five points from safety with only two matches remaining.
