The good mood after the preparation was over with the TuS Geretsried footballers after the warm-up before the Landesliga match at FC Ehekirchen.
Ehekirchen / Geretsried– “Srdan Ivkovic has injured his knee. I'm afraid it's worse, ”said coach Martin Grelics, who then had to pull Sebastian Rosina off the pitch after 18 minutes of play. "Two players away and two points away," the 33-year-old argued after the 2: 2 (1-1) draw at the start after the winter break.
Kubica has to leave the field with a traffic light card
The Geretsrieder had completed a few training sessions on the Böhmwiese last week in order to be prepared for the switch from artificial turf to grass. Nevertheless, the guests initially failed to exploit their technical superiority. "It was the expected fighting game in which married churches operated with long balls," said Grelics. The same was enough for the home side to take the 1-0 lead after 25 minutes. Gradually the TuS came into play better. And when Arthur Kubica was placed in the penalty area just before the break, Benjamin Fister converted the penalty to 1-1.
Just four minutes after the change, Tasso Karpouzidis kept it on from 14 meters: his deflected shot landed to 1: 2 in the Ehekirchen network. As a result, the guests dictated what happened before the next outage: Kubica received a yellow card for a rather harmless foul, but had already been warned in the first half for complaining. "That was extremely annoying," the coach scolded yellow-red for his director.
Grelics is annoyed about his team's dismissal
With only ten men left, Geretsrieder had to defend more deeply, but held up well. "I was certain that we would never concede a clean sheet," said Grelics. This also went wrong: In the 73rd minute, the home side were awarded a penalty which they converted to the 2-2 final score. “That was bitter, but it can happen because we don't end the game too often with eleven men. Otherwise we could sniff at the top of the table, ”criticized the coach, whose team remains fourth and is a guest at Kaufbeuren on Saturday.
