SV Meppen secure a 3-1 win over VfB Lübeck in the match
VfB Lübeck faced a tough 1:3 defeat in their first away match of the 2025/26 Regionalliga Nord season against SV Meppen. The match, played in front of a crowd of 7,436 spectators, started promisingly for Lübeck as Antonio Verinac scored in the 29th minute, assisted by Dardan Karimani who replaced the injured Ware Pakia in the starting lineup [1][4].
However, SV Meppen took control of the game as it progressed. Mika Stuhlmacher equalized for Meppen in added time of the first half with a header, and Julian Ulbricht scored two goals in the second half to secure their victory [1]. The match was intense, with nine yellow cards issued, reflecting the competitive atmosphere [1].
Despite the loss, Lübeck’s effort was commended by their traveling fans, showing team resilience [1]. Lübeck’s next match is another away fixture against VfB Oldenburg on August 8, 2025 [1].
The defeat suggests that while Lübeck can start matches promisingly, they currently struggle to maintain control against strong opponents like Meppen over the course of the full match. Defensive solidity after going ahead and converting chances into a sustained lead appear as potential focus areas for improvement [1]. The performance of key players like Karimani and Verinac was positive, but overall game management needs reinforcement to avoid conceding multiple goals after leading [1].
In summary, VfB Lübeck’s 1:3 loss at SV Meppen in the 2025/26 Regionalliga Nord highlighted early promise overshadowed by Meppen’s game control and finishing efficiency in the latter stages [1][4].
