Deggendorf triumphs: Heilbronner Falken lose 3:6 in the top game!

On November 26, 2025, it was once again shown how exciting the main round of the Oberliga Süd can be. The Heilbronner Falken met Deggendorfer SC in a thrilling duel, with a lot at stake for both teams. While the Falken were in second place in the table, Deggendorfer SC was in third place and was willing to make life difficult for the Falken. The match, which took place in the Hitzkopf Arena, did not start well for the Falken, as Heilbronner Falken reports, because the Deggendorf team took the lead in the fourth minute with a goal from Zitterbart.

The Falcons had to regroup after falling behind and could hope to equalize with a majority chance. But Jentsch's shot, which hit the crossbar, initially failed to result in a goal. But in the twelfth minute, Hon managed to equalize after video evidence. Eetu Santanen, who had already impressed in the last few games, gave the Falcons the lead in the 16th minute. Despite another opportunity for Heilbronn to outnumber the score shortly before the end of the third, the lead remained 2-1.

A very exciting game

In the second third, Santanen pulled the strings again and made it 3-1 in the 22nd minute. But Deggendorfer SC didn't give up: In the 31st minute, Dylan Jackson reduced the score to 2:3, setting the stage for an exciting final few minutes. The referees had to deal with penalties and so Ludin had to go to the penalty box for five minutes in the 33rd minute. In the 38th minute it was Marcel Pfänder who equalized for Deggendorf. The score went into the final third with a score of 3:3.

This is where the drama began. In the 48th minute it was Humberstone who gave Deggendorf the lead again. Just two minutes later, Dylan Jackson increased the score to 5:3 - a preliminary decision that drove the Falcons to one last show of strength. The Heilbronn team had a chance to outnumber the score, but they were unable to come back. Ty Jackson finally closed the sack and scored into the empty goal to make the final score 6:3 for Deggendorf. The Falken suffered their second defeat in a row and have to prove themselves against the Stuttgart Rebels on Friday, as DSC Eishockey reports. This losing streak could jeopardize their chances of reaching the top spots in the Oberliga, after a convincing 12-game winning streak that lasted until this weekend.

The look forward

The Heilbronner Falken's next game against the Stuttgart Rebels is an important game in order to get back on the road to success. Meanwhile, Deggendorfer SC has its home games firmly under control and will face the Lindau Islanders on Tuesday, which certainly promises an exciting battle for the points. It remains to be seen whether the Falcons can recover quickly and whether the DSC will go into the next games as favorites. While the competition is whipped up by the victory over the Falken, it remains to be seen whether Deggendorf can impress again in the next game.

As the current games in the Oberliga Süd show, the fight for the top places remains exciting, and the coming weeks could be decisive for the question of placement. A look at the ICE Hockey Page makes it clear that every game counts and no team should be taken lightly.
