Kaufboyren beat Deggendorf 4:3 in the Oberliga Süd on Sunday evening. The match took place on 2026-10-04 at 16:00, and the result sees the hosts climb away from their position in fifth place while the visitors remain top after five games.
To be fair, this was never going to be a dull affair. Both sides had been scoring freely in recent matches — Kaufboyren with that 8:2 victory over Pайтинг just two days prior, and Deggendorf with their 6:1 win against Pайтинг on 2026-09-27. When two teams come at each other like that, goals tend to follow.
And here's the thing — we had called for a home win with 71 per cent confidence before kick-off. It came off. Not that it was inevitable, mind you. Deggendorf had won four of their five games, but Kaufboyren had found a way through against tougher opposition recently. The form was there, even if the table didn't quite show it yet.
By then, the match had settled into something neither side expected. A 4:3 scoreline doesn't happen without both teams committing forward. Deggendorf had been on a roll — five straight wins before this one — but they couldn't hold their shape when the game opened up. Kaufboyren took what they were given and saw it out.
The standings tell a story that needs reading between the lines. Both teams sit on zero points with five games played, which means the table is still finding its feet. What matters more is that Kaufboyren moved off the bottom of their section while Deggendorf stayed at the summit despite dropping points.
Recent results paint a picture of two attacking sides. Kaufboyren's 8:2 win over Pайтинг showed their firepower, while Deggendorf's 5:6 defeat at Erding on the same day as this match revealed their defensive vulnerabilities. Neither side came for a cross he never reached — both wanted the game open.
What this means for the rest of the season is still being written. Kaufboyren extended their unbeaten run in local derbies, while Deggendorf's first loss in five games will sit heavy. Cup football has its own rules, and Sunday evening in the Oberliga Süd proved that once again.
