Even Unterhaching's captain Josef Welzmüller cannot ward off the second defeat in a row after his comeback. The chances of advancement are dwindling.
Captain is back on board, but had imagined his comeback very differently. Josef Welzmüller returned to the SpVgg Unterhaching team on Saturday after around a year and a half of injury and was also in the starting XI at the away game in Chemnitz. However, it was an afternoon to forget. The Hachinger delivered their weakest season performance and conceded the second loss in a row with the 0: 1. In the table, the storm to the top has been blown off for the time being. The SpVgg slipped to third place, but remains in Halle on the relegation place yesterday thanks to another slip from FC Ingolstadt. The field of promotion aspirants in the 3rd league moved closer together this weekend. The table ninth Würzburg is only three points behind the Hachinger in third place.
With such an achievement it will be difficult to score
Welzmüller, who represented the yellow-barred Markus Schwabl on the right side of the defense, could not be happy after the sobering appearance in Chemnitz: "After a year and a half of suffering, I imagined my comeback differently," said the 30-year-old, "I am like everyone very disappointed. We have to check this game off quickly. ”Coach Claus Schromm also found clear words:“ We distributed too many gifts from the first minute, that doesn't work if you want to take points with you. With such a performance, it will be difficult to score in the third division, no matter where. "
Weak first half
The used day for the SpVgg had its first low four minutes after kick-off when the Hachinger did not get the ball out of the danger zone after a corner. Reddemann was free after a rebound in front of the gate and scored the 1-0 for the relegation candidate. The toughness then increased in a not very respectable football game, and the Hachingen team found it extremely difficult to set accents on the offensive. “We often won out,” said Schromm, “but then we didn't find the goal. The goal is the teammate and not the opponent, so we made life difficult for ourselves. ”
Chemnitz two stronger in half
Little changed in the second round, only in the 75th minute did Unterhaching score the first goal scene. Winter newcomer Felix Müller, who also made his comeback after a week-long break, fit in the middle, but where he couldn't find a buyer. Shortly thereafter, Welzmüller prevailed on the right, Florian Dietz narrowly missed the cross. A little later, Dominik Stroh-Engel headed over the gate. The more dangerous team was also in the second section of Chemnitz. When the Hachingers woke up, the hosts could have been leading higher. SpVgg keeper Nico Mantl saved three times in great need, Garcia and Hosiner also missed the 2-0. In the 86th minute Dominik Stahl cleared just before the line. The 1-0 was well deserved in the end and even flattering for the Hachinger.
"We completely overslept the first quarter of an hour", Welzmüller summed up the late afternoon, "after that we didn't manage to take anything that was countable with us." Also, the "totally sleepy first half hour" spoke Straw Angel, this time stayed pale, "and then we'll get a stupid goal. That mustn't happen. We tried everything afterwards, but didn't really have a 100% chance. Chemnitz deservedly won. "
