BFC Preussen crowns ascent with a dramatic 1-0 against Mahlsdorf!

Berlin-Lankwitz, Deutschland - On May 31, 2025, an exciting championship game took place in the Preussen Stadium in Berlin-Lankwitz, in which the BFC Preussen defeated Eintracht Mahlsdorf 1-0. With this victory, Preussen crowned an impressive season in the NOFV Oberliga Nord and secured the promotion to the Regionalliga Northeast. Defender Lenny Stein scored the decisive goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time, which made the game a dramatic heartbeat final that kept the audience in suspense.

The game was initially not very eventful and offered only a few goal scenes. Mahlsdorf showed some promising approaches in the second half, but could not hit the net. The decision finally fell under controversial circumstances: Although it remained unclear whether the ball had completely exceeded the line, the referee decided at goal. However, the referee assistant Tim Gerstenberg was sure that the gate was valid. After the goal, there was a short notice in the stands when Mahlsdorfer ran to the field, which led to legendities and the police called on the scene, but were out of the question.

a dramatic season finale

Mahlsdorf would have needed a draw to claim the leadership, while the BFC Preussen rely on a win to secure the ascent. The captain of Mahlsdorf, Christoph Zorn, accepted the decision of the referee and congratulated the Prussia, while Preussen's captain Patrick Breitkreuz showed sympathy for the inferior team. "It was a heartbeat final," he emphasized.

The season finale of the NOFV Oberliga Nord was of great importance overall. In the end, Mahlsdorf ended up with SV Lichtenberg 47 in the 2nd place, but had to cede the promotion to Prussia due to the goal difference. SV Lichtenberg 47 had also won a convincing victory, but could not climb into the higher league.

A look at the Regionalliga Nordost

With the rise of the BFC Preussen, the Regionalliga Northeast will offer exciting duels in the coming season. The opponents that the Prussians can look forward to include traditional clubs such as Chemnitzer FC, BFC Dynamo, Rot-Weiß Erfurt and Babelsberg 03. This season, the regional league has achieved a remarkable audience cut of almost 3000 fans per game, which makes it one of the most attractive leagues in Germany. These figures show the high density of traditional clubs and the large followers that are available in Thuringia and Saxony, which raises the Regionalliga Northeast to a "small champions League of the East".

The record numbers illustrate the steadily growing fascination for football in this league. Chemnitzer FC, for example, recorded an increase in the number of spectators by around 2000 compared to the previous season. Such developments are promising and indicate an exciting year in the regional league.
