Viktoria Berlin loses to Ingolstadt: Drama with a last-minute penalty!

In the duel of the women's football teams in the 2nd Bundesliga, on August 31, 2025 there was an exciting meeting between FC Ingolstadt and FC Viktoria Berlin. Viktoria Berlin ultimately had to give up 0: 1 after Anna-Lena Fritz converted a crucial penalty in the 81st minute. The game took place in the Mitte district sports facility in Ingolstadt and offered the audience an exciting competition.

At half-time both teams played an even game, but neither side had any chances to score, so the score went into the break 0-0. Viktoria Berlin coach Miren Catovic saw his team scoreless for a long time, which increased the pressure on the players. Catovic, who coached the Ingolstadt team from 2022 to 2024, had mixed feelings about the game.

An emotional reunion

The game marked a special return for coach Miren Catovic and the defender Katharina Krist, both of whom were previously active at FC Ingolstadt. While Catovic described the return as "funny but beautiful", Krist found the situation emotionally and was optimistic about the quality of her new team. Both are convinced that they can celebrate success in the new season, even if Catovic notes that many players still lack the necessary experience to quickly get used to the league.

Ingolstadt, which had previously lost 0-2 against Turbine Potsdam, was able to advance to the table in the table by this victory. Viktoria Berlin, after a 2-2 draw against SG 99 Andernach and now the defeat against Ingolstadt, ranked in eleventh place. The next game for Viktoria Berlin is against Mainz 05 on September 7th at 2 p.m.

The challenges at a glance

In a conversation about the general conditions, Catovic highlighted the organization and infrastructure of the Viktoria Berlin club, which help him to further develop the team tactically. On average, around 1,000 spectators attend Berlin's home games, which represents important support. Compared to the infrastructure in Ingolstadt, this is a point that he is critical of.

The coach of Ingolstadt, Benjamin Stolte, had to do without the suspended captain Stefanie Reischmann, but was able to fall back on a strong squad. Stolte sees Viktoria Berlin's physical strength as a challenge, but believes that his team can win if they call up their full maximum performance.

In summary, the match on the second matchday of the 2nd Women's Bundesliga reflected the challenges and emotions associated with the meeting between the two teams. The next match days promise further exciting encounters and developments in the league table.
