Ingolstadt – September 09, 2026 -- Alemannia Aachen scored three goals in the opening 11 minutes at FC Ingolstadt, sealing a 3:0 win in the fourth matchday of Germany's 3. Liga, broadcast live on MagentaSport.
Ingolstadt's Elias Decker was sent off in the fourth minute
Decker committed a professional foul on Aachen's Jonas Oehmichen, receiving a red card just four minutes into the match. Aachen capitalized immediately, with Lukas Scepanik scoring in the 6th minute, Mika Schroers in the 8th, and Louis Köster in the 11th, putting the hosts down 0:3 while still a man short.
The result reversed Aachen's collapse from the previous week
Seven days earlier, Aachen had fallen 0:2 within 11 minutes against Meppen and lost 0:3. Head coach Mersad Selimbegovic called the swing "crazy," noting that his side gave away a match in ten minutes one week and won one in ten minutes the next. He added that such extreme games happen in both directions and are not something a coach wants to rely on regularly.
Schroers turned down a move to the 2. Bundesliga to stay at Aachen
Scorer Mika Schroers confirmed that a transfer opportunity to Germany's second division had fallen through this window. He said he never hid his ambition to take the next step in his career but never expressed dissatisfaction with Aachen, describing himself as fully committed to the club's project.
Ingolstadt held on for the remaining 80 minutes without conceding again
Head coach Sabrina Wittmann called the start "the most unfavorable possible" for her side, saying so much energy was expended in those opening minutes that she struggled to recall the sequence. Selimbegovic praised his own team's defensive discipline against nine outfield players, noting Aachen kept a clean sheet after conceding frequently in similar situations last season.
Duisburg can break a 2010/11 points record this Saturday
MSV Duisburg needs only a 1:0 win at Jahn Regensburg on Saturday, with the match starting at 1:30 PM in the joint broadcast and 1:45 PM individually, to surpass Kickers Offenbach's record start of 12 points and a plus-8 goal difference from the 2010/11 season.
