In 1923 he celebrated the southern German championship and the entry into the final round of the German championship. In his first final game on May 13, 1923, he was able to distinguish himself as a two-time goalscorer in a 4-0 win against the Breslauer Sportfreunde. As early as February 25, 1923, he had won the final of the Federal Cup with 2-1 goals against the selection team of the West German Game Association with the selection team of the South German Football Association in Frankfurt .

Ascherl finished the 1927/28 season with SpVgg Fürth in third place. From 1923 to 1927 he played eight finals with the Ronhof team and scored seven goals. After eight point games in which he scored four goals, the trained businessman moved to MSV 08 Meißen in November 1928 .

He was initially not allowed to play in Meißen because the DFB suspected that Ascherl had moved from Fürth to Meißen for financial reasons, which was not allowed at the time. Ascherl therefore initially acted as a coach at MSV 08 Meißen, before he was later also active for Meißen on the ball in the East Saxony district league. But unfortunately only for a short time, Willy Ascherl died in 1929 at the age of 27 as a result of a ruptured bowel.
