One win, one defeat: TSV 1860 Munich uses the free time for plenty of tests. It continues on Tuesday.
Munich (dpa / lby) – TSV 1860 Munich suffered a defeat in an XL game after winning a friendly against 1. FC Nuremberg. In a game lasting 120 minutes, the third division soccer team lost 2:3 (2:2) at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Christoph Baumgartner (1st minute) and winger Angelino (28th) had given the Kraichgau team the lead twice before the change. Marcel Bär (11th) and Albion Vrenezi (37th) managed to equalize twice for the third division team from Bavaria. After the change, Fisnik Asllani finished late to the final score.
“We started the game badly and were caught off guard straight away. It’s all the more remarkable how the team came back. In the first 60 minutes we got into the game better and scored two goals against a Bundesliga club,” said coach Michael Köllner.
Köllner was satisfied with the first 30 minutes of his second part and in the game in front of 915 spectators attested to “absolute control of the game in this phase. In the last half hour, after Hoffenheim made another change, it was a game where we had to work more intensively . The only problem was the inattentiveness that led to 2: 3. It’s even more annoying that we still lost the game.” On Friday, 1860 Munich defeated 1. FC Nuremberg 1-0. Stefan Lex was the goalscorer.
Despite the botched final spurt before the World Cup break, the “lions” are sticking to their promotion goal. After a strong start to the season, the traditional Bavarian club slipped into a results crisis and fell from second to sixth place. The long winter break ends with the league game at Waldhof Mannheim on January 14th. Until then, there are still three friendlies for Munich. Third division bottom SpVgg Bayreuth is the next opponent on Tuesday.
