Jena women's football: bitter home defeat against winless Nuremberg!

A new low blow for the FC Carl Zeiss Jena footballers: On October 13, 2025, they suffered their third home defeat in a row in the Bundesliga. The Jena team had to admit defeat 2-3 against 1. FC Nürnberg, who had been without a win up to that point. In a game that was characterized by intense duels, Nuremberg was dominant and mercilessly made up for the hosts' mistakes.

The guests took the lead in the 26th minute through Oliwia Wos. Jena was able to equalize shortly before half-time: In the 45th + 2 minute, Laura Miller unfortunately sank the ball into her own net, which meant the score was 1-1 at halftime. But the second half belonged to 1. FC Nürnberg again, who pulled away to 3-1 thanks to goals from Nastassja Lein (60th minute) and Sanja Homann (70th minute). However, Jena didn't give up and reduced the deficit in the 79th minute with a penalty through Isabella Jaron after a handball in the penalty area was punished.

Defensive weaknesses

FC Carl Zeiss Jena had big problems defensively and goalkeeper Hannah Etzold in particular was unable to adequately absorb the pressure from the Nuremberg attackers. In many situations, the players found themselves facing superior opponents, which rarely gave them the opportunity to shape the game.

For the Jena team, this is another setback in an already difficult season. The team hopes to learn the necessary lessons from this defeat and bounce back in the coming games. The next opponent could be the key to overturning the buck and finally collecting the first points.
