Buchonia Flieden vs Barockstadt Fulda-Lehn.

Barockstadt took an early lead when Sebastian Schmitt converted a 14th-minute penalty, but Flieden responded immediately — Louis Larbig equalised three minutes later with a composed finish that rewarded the hosts' disciplined defensive approach.

Moritz Reinhard restored Barockstadt's lead just before half-time (40'), and the visitors went into the break 2–1 up despite Flieden having matched them for long stretches of the first half.

The second half was a different story. Barockstadt coach Daniyel Cimen introduced trialist striker Quincy Hoeve at the interval, and the Dutch forward — most recently with Sparta Rotterdam's reserve side — transformed the game. Hoeve struck three times (50', 65', 89'), completing his treble with a well-taken finish in the closing stages. Roko Ivankovic (82') and Milan Habermehl (83') added further goals in a three-minute burst that turned a competitive contest into a rout.

Hoeve's introduction at half-time. The 21-year-old trialist, playing for a contract with the Regionalliga Südwest side, scored within five minutes of the restart and added two more as Barockstadt's superior fitness and quality told. "Quincy was a little unlucky yesterday," Cimen said post-match. "Today he got into the situations we wanted him in and was able to finish them. He showed his composure and finishing quality."

Quincy Hoeve (Barockstadt Fulda-Lehn.) — Player of the Match. The trialist striker's second-half hat-trick (50', 65', 89) decided the contest. Cimen confirmed Hoeve has indicated his willingness to join the club for the coming season. "The decision is now on our side," the coach said.

Louis Larbig (Buchonia Flieden). Scored Flieden's equaliser in the 17th minute and was a constant threat in the first half, embodying the hosts' spirited performance before the gap in class showed.

Sebastian Schmitt (Barockstadt Fulda-Lehn.). Converted the 14th-minute penalty that set Barockstadt on their way and was influential in the first-half midfield battle.

The 1–7 scoreline — tied for the highest-scoring meeting in this fixture's history (matching a 1–7 result from 2022) — slightly flatters Barockstadt's dominance. Flieden matched their Regionalliga opponents for much of the first half, but three late goals in the 82nd, 83rd and 89th minutes inflated the margin. Barockstadt's five second-half goals came after Cimen emptied his bench, with 11 substitutes used across the match.

For Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz (Regionalliga Südwest), this was a productive pre-season workout ahead of the 2026–27 campaign. Hoeve's performance gives Cimen a decision to make on a potential signing. The club also confirmed that first-choice goalkeeper Maximilian Weisbäcker is sidelined with a bone oedema in his elbow — an injury expected to keep him out for two to five weeks.

For Buchonia Flieden (Verbandsliga), coach Christian Kreß can take encouragement from a competitive first-half display. "In the first half we played really well, moved the ball nicely and defended well," Kreß said. "I'm satisfied with the test." His side now prepare for the start of their league season on 8 August.

A tale of two halves: Flieden more than held their own before the break, but Barockstadt's depth and quality — embodied by Hoeve's hat-trick — proved decisive. The trialist's performance may prove the most significant outcome of the afternoon for the Regionalliga side.
