Wacker Burghausen and DJK Vilzing delivered one of the matches of the German Regionalliga Bayern season on 29 August 2026, with the visitors claiming a stunning 5-4 victory in a nine-goal thriller. The away side triumphed after a breathless contest that swung from one end to the other and was only decided in the 89th minute.

Match Overview

Playing in front of their own supporters, Wacker Burghausen will wonder how they ended the evening empty-handed after taking the lead three separate times. Yet DJK Vilzing showed remarkable character and tactical flexibility, repeatedly hitting back each time they fell behind and finally snatching a dramatic winner late on.

The match exploded into life in the opening ten minutes, with Burghausen striker Tobias Färber firing the hosts ahead. Vilzing equalised through a deflected shot from Adrian Huber, and that was just the start of the rollercoaster. The two sides went in at the break level at 2-2, with each defensive line struggling against the pace and movement of the opposing forwards.

Key Moments and Tactical Story

• Minute 8: Färber converted a half-volley from the edge of the box after a corner was only partially cleared.
• Minute 19: Huber’s speculative shot deflected past the Burghausen goalkeeper.
• Minute 37: Burghausen’s second came from a well-worked breakaway, tapped in by Maximilian Brandl.
• Minute 45: Vilzing’s striker Jonas Köhler levelled in first-half stoppage time with a close-range header.
• Minute 51: Brandl struck his second of the night after a defensive mix-up to put Burghausen 3-2 up.
• Minute 64: Köhler again equalised, this time finishing on the rebound after a free kick was saved.
• Minute 76: Burghausen retook the lead for a third time through a powerful header from centre-back Pascal Schwarz.
• Minute 82: Vilzing substitute Sami Bozkurt fired in a stunning equaliser from distance.
• Minute 89: Bozkurt turned provider, crossing for midfielder Tom Wolf to drive home the winning goal.

The tactical narrative was dominated by the inability of either back line to deal with direct runs in behind. Burghausen repeatedly used their physical advantage to get on the end of crosses and set-piece deliveries, while Vilzing relied on speed and quick combination play to cut through the hosts. As the game opened up, both teams had chances to score even more, with the woodwork struck on three separate occasions.

Standout Performances and Table Impact

DJK Vilzing’s match-winner Tom Wolf was the hero, but the visitors’ spirit was embodied by the substitutes Bozkurt and Remmert, who changed the game after coming on. For Burghausen, Brandl’s double and Färber’s early strike were highlights, but the defence will need to regroup quickly.

The defeat sees Wacker Burghausen remain in the mid-table region of the Regionalliga Bayern, while DJK Vilzing leapfrog them in the standings thanks to this remarkable victory. With attacking displays like this, Vilzing have made a statement that they can compete with anyone on their day.
