FSV Zwickau celebrates 1-0 win – Haubner secures the home series!

On October 18, 2025, FSV Zwickau played against Greifswalder FC and won with a narrow 1-0 win. In a game that was characterized by few highlights, the decisive goal came from Daniel Haubner in the 72nd minute. The Greifswalder FC goalkeeper, Jakubov, had to admit defeat after a header was extended, so that the ball rolled through his legs and into the goal. This was Haubner's second goal of the season and gave FSV Zwickau a much-needed three points after a previous defeat against BFC Dynamo (0-1) and the end of a three-game winning streak.

The game took place in front of 3,740 spectators, who treated themselves to a rather tired duel. Zwickau was offensive in the first half and had several good shots, such as a shot from Dobruna, which only hit the upper roof of the stadium. Despite the increase in chances in the first 45 minutes, there were no goals, which was due to the stable defensive performance of Greifswalder FC. But the guests were particularly weak on offense and were hardly able to make any impact in the first half.

The game analysis

Zwickau continued to try to extend its lead in the second half. In the 65th minute, Greifswald had the opportunity to thwart this plan through Hüther, but FSV goalkeeper Hiemann parried the chance brilliantly. Zwickau was unable to take advantage of further chances from Sezer and Möbius, but remained strong defensively and hardly allowed the guests any opportunities. Greifswald has been waiting for a win since August 2nd and has slipped to 16th place in the Northeast Regional League as a result of this defeat.

Nevertheless, Zwickau has remained undefeated at home for over a year with now 20 consecutive home games without defeat. This impressive series reflects the strength of the team, even if the game against Greifswald was rather less convincing. In this match, it wasn't just the result that was important, but also the psychological effect of coming back after a defeat.

Audience numbers in the region

The number of spectators in the region is remarkable and shows that interest in football remains high. For comparison: While other games in the Regionalliga Nordost, such as the duel between 1. FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt and 1. FC Lok Leipzig, attracted over 8,500 spectators, the Zwickau game only attracted a comparatively moderate crowd of 3,740 fans. Zwickau remains an important location in German football, as it can also develop a dedicated fan base. For example, almost 5,200 spectators came to the stadium for the game between Halle and Meuselwitz.

FSV Zwickau remains in 7th place in the table. Next weekend, FC Chemie Leipzig could potentially influence Greifswald's goal difference through a successful game against a direct competitor. The coming week will be exciting, fans can look forward to more exciting football moments!
