An action‑packed German Bundesliga 5 encounter saw CSC 03 Kassel emerge 5–3 winners away at TuS Hornau on 4 June 2026. The match featured eight goals, a red card, and a stunning fightback from the visitors.

First‑Half Fireworks

Hornau flew out of the blocks, scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes. Stiker Marik Hölzel opened the scoring with a close‑range finish, and midfielder Florian Reuter doubled the lead with a crisp volley. Kassel looked shell‑shocked but gradually found their rhythm. A goal just before the half‑hour mark from Tim Jäger – a powerful header from a corner – cut the deficit.

Hornau restored their two‑goal cushion in the 38th minute when Luca Beyer tapped in after a scramble. But Kassel struck back immediately: Jannik Bender fired home from 20 yards to make it 3–2 at halftime.

Second‑Half Collapse for Hornau

The game turned decisively in the second half. Hornau’s discipline unravelled when defender Simon Löw was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 53rd minute. Kassel capitalised immediately. Bender completed his brace with a calm penalty after a handball, levelling the scores.

From then on, Kassel dominated. Luca Engel put them ahead for the first time in the 68th minute, sliding home a cross. Substitute Niklas Thiel added a fifth in the 82nd minute, rounding the goalkeeper to seal a remarkable 5–3 victory.

Impact on the Table

The win lifted Kassel into the top half of the Bundesliga 5 standings, while Hornau dropped towards the relegation zone. Both sides will need to tighten up defensively after this nine‑goal thriller.
