VSG Altglienicke came from behind to beat BFC Preussen 3-1 in the German Regionalliga on 17 October 2026, with a second-half surge turning a difficult away fixture into an important three-point haul at Preussenstadion.

Match overview

BFC Preussen made the brighter start and took the lead inside the opening quarter-hour, energising the home crowd. Altglienicke responded well, gradually asserting control through midfield and forcing Preussen deeper. The visitors’ pressure told before half-time, and they carried that momentum into a dominant second period, scoring twice more to secure a convincing result.

Key moments

• 12' — Preussen 1-0: Dennis Wagner gave the home side the lead with a sharp finish after a quick attacking move.
• 39' — 1-1: Kevin Hartmann equalised for Altglienicke with a composed finish inside the penalty area.
• 58' — 1-2: Timo Schulz put the visitors ahead after a well-worked move down the left.
• 82' — 1-3: Hartmann sealed the win with his second goal of the match, finishing off a fast counter-attack.

Tactical story

Altglienicke’s comeback was built on pressing and patience. After conceding early, they adjusted their shape to close the central spaces that Preussen had exploited, then used their wide players to stretch the home defence. Preussen’s early energy faded as the match wore on, and their attempts to press high left gaps for Altglienicke to attack. The visitors’ third goal was a perfect example of their improved control: a turnover in midfield followed by a direct, decisive break.

Standout players

Kevin Hartmann was the match-winner with two goals, showing composure in the box and intelligence in his movement. Timo Schulz’s go-ahead goal was the product of persistence and sharp positioning, while Altglienicke’s midfield grew stronger as the game progressed. For BFC Preussen, Dennis Wagner’s early goal was a bright moment, but the home side could not maintain their intensity after the break.

Season impact

The victory keeps VSG Altglienicke in the thick of the Regionalliga promotion race and highlights their ability to recover from setbacks away from home. BFC Preussen, meanwhile, are left to reflect on a promising start that slipped away. With the table tightening, Altglienicke’s second-half performance will be seen as a sign of a side capable of handling pressure.
