Unterhaching - Due to the three defeats in a row, the SpVgg Unterhaching has catapulted itself out of the circle of candidates for promotion.
The 1-3 home defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig meant the fall to ninth, but with four points behind on a direct promotion place, there are still many options open. "It's not over yet," said coach Claus Schromm.
In addition to the defeat, the Unterhaching suffered a second hard blow: Captain Dominik Stahl was hospitalized with a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee. This means it is unlikely to be used this year. “This is really bitter news for all of us. After Stephan Hain, Dominik Stahl will be the next important player since the restart, ”said Schromm.
After Stephan Hain, Dominik Stahl also drops out
After the 1: 2 defeat in Münster, there were five changes in the Hachingen starting line-up. The start then immediately created a great atmosphere in the sports park: In the 9th minute, Markus Schwabl hammered the play equipment from over 30 meters into the goal cross for the 1-0 lead. But only four minutes later, steel sank to the floor with cries of pain.
The shock was deep and Haching fell into the trap. So the hosts cheerfully stormed on and neglected the defensive work. The Braunschweig team, who barely crossed the center line in the early quarter of an hour, checkmated the hosts with three counters. Mike Feigenspan (24th) and Martin Kobylanski (26th / 43rd) turned the game upside down with three goals.
After the change of sides, Schromm tried to turn the page with fresh forces. The substitutions by Dominik Stroh-Engel, Moritz Heinrich, Florian Dietz and Paul Grauschopf did not bring the hoped-for success. The Hachingen tried everything, had non-stop possession of the ball and corners in series, but the punch is lacking and the offensive efforts were always wasted. "The result of course also has to do with the quality of the opponent, we actually played well, but we must not only create opportunities, we also have to make them good, and then we win games again", Schromm wishes for the rest of the season.
