Denklingen celebrates its first win of the season! Reid scores 1-0 against Untermenzing

On August 11, 2025, the mood among the fans of VfL Denklingen was great as their team celebrated an important victory against SV Untermenzing. The narrow 1-0 win was not only the first win of the season, but also secured the championship after two draws. Simon Reid became the match winner when he scored the decisive goal in the 17th minute.

Coach Christoph Schmitt knew how crucial this victory was. “A defeat would have only made our situation worse,” he emphasized after the game. Denklingen is in the middle of the table in the South District League with five points after three games. The team showed a clear improvement after a bumpy start and stabilized its defense after the first few minutes, in which Untermenzing was unable to take advantage of some good chances.

The challenges in the game

Despite losing the game, Untermenzing had the upper hand in the first few minutes. Their offensive forces were energetic, but could not accommodate the round in the square. The stability of Denklingen's defense and the committed cooperation of the offensive players, who worked defensively, prevented the guests from having further scoring opportunities.

Simon Reid, who shone with his third goal of the season, turned the game around. This underlines how important goals from key players are for the team's success. Even though Untermenzing was superior in terms of share of the game, they did not take advantage of their opportunities and thus thwarted their chance of winning a point.

A look at the table

The South District League continues to be exciting. With this win, Denklingen is working its way into the corresponding table region, while Untermenzing has to continue to fight for connection after the defeat. They are currently in midfield with five points, which makes the upcoming games even more important. The competition never sleeps, and the next games will show whether Denklingen can confirm this trend.
