FSV Malchin surprisingly loses in Friedland: Coach Budniak stunned!

The men from FSV Malchin had to play a difficult game last Sunday in Friedland. Despite a previously impressive series of three wins in a row, the Malchiner sports club had to admit defeat 1-2 on October 27, 2025. After the game, coach Marcus Budniak spoke of his disappointment over the lost points and emphasized that the team was not able to produce its best performance this time. Both teams showed rather weak performances on the pitch, with Friedland even having to replace some regular players.

The game started badly for FSV. In the 20th minute, Friedland took the lead with a deflected shot from Fridolin Rhein. However, Malchin did not let himself be defeated and shortly before half-time Hannes Kulartz equalized the score at 1-1 (45th +1). But the second half turned out to be a tough game for the Malchin team.

Technical errors and exploitation of opportunities

In the second half of the game, Malchin's defensive problems increased and technical errors crept in. Despite a traffic light card for Friedland, Malchin played in the majority for the last 20 minutes, but was unable to convert this superiority into goals. Manuel Reichelt made it 2-1 in favor of Friedland in the 80th minute with an impressive goal from 35 meters.

One of the best chances went to Mehmet Yildiz, whose shot on the goal line was thwarted by Thomas Stiller. And Malchin also missed the last opportunity: a free kick from Kulartz hit the crossbar and the post. While Friedland celebrated its third home win of the season, FSV Malchin remains in second place in the Regional League East with 16 points.

Positioning and outlook

The following players were included in the successfully fighting line-up of FSV Malchin: Emberger, Haack, To. Andrys, Hensel, Meschzan, Siewert, Ti. Andrys, Thürmann, Poulios, Kulartz and Yildiz (61. R. Peters). Additional players such as Aron Kruschel, Florian Hensel and others were missing due to injuries, which further complicated the challenge for Budniak's team.

Before the next game, the club will have to concentrate on improving the weaknesses in the game in order to be able to build on old successes in the next round of the MV East regional league. The challenge of maintaining the fairness of the game is also important because, according to the league's guidelines, this is assessed through a points system that is based on the number of current cards and ultimately leads to the competition's fair play rating. The fair play rating, based on the fairness table, decides which team will be awarded at the end of the season. FOOTBALL.DE presents the criteria that play an important role in competition.

It remains to be hoped that the next matches will be more successful for FSV Malchin and that the team can secure their second place in the table while keeping an eye on the competition. The prospect of the next games will certainly delight the fans, who remain loyal to the team even in times of setbacks. It remains to be seen whether the Malchin team will find their way back to their old strength in the coming games.
