Guided, kept up and in the end - in stoppage time - not paying attention: Bitter end for SpVgg Unterhaching in the third division game at 1. FC Saarbrücken.

Unterhaching - SpVgg Unterhaching were leaders in the 3rd division yesterday for 19 minutes, but at the end of a good game 1. FC Saarbrücken climbed to second place in the table.

With a goal in stoppage time, the promoted team decided the top game of the fifth matchday 2-1 for themselves.

Haching coach Arie van Lent was “very frustrated” after the late goal.

"Total nonsense" is what van Lent called the defensive work of his eleven in the 93rd minute, with which they deprived themselves of the wages they deserved.

“The pressure from our opponents was great in the end, a 1-1 draw would have been okay.

But that's very annoying, it was just giving away, ”said Haching's head coach in an interview with“ MagentaSport ”.

It was the last scene of the game in which the SpVgg looked really bad.

Schleimer was allowed to cross, Jacob could head the ball into the goal without a counter-defense.

“Maybe we were wearing the wrong shoes,” said van Lent, looking out over the pitch, “that wasn't the first time we slipped.”

But his criticism began earlier.

After the lead by Joker Felix Schröter in the 60th minute, who temporarily pushed SpVgg to first place in the table after losing the ball from Saarbrücken, the guests did too little for the offensive.

"We made it really exciting again, no longer playing forward and no longer holding balls," van Lent annoyed, "there was no relief at all."

For Schröter, who took the storm last season, it was the first goal of the season after three games without a game.

It was not enough because the home side then shifted up a gear and in the 79th minute were able to equalize with Mendler's shot after a great pass from Schleimer.

"Highly deserved", as van Lent admitted.

Shortly before the decisive 2-1, goalkeeper Nico Mantl had to save a shot from Bösel with his fists, then Saarbrücken hit the "lucky punch" in the 93rd minute.

The bottom line is that too little for Unterhaching, because in a very good third division game the balance of power was balanced right into the second half.

Before the break, SpVgg had a bit more of the game and thanks to Patrick Hasenhüttl (20th) and twice Moritz Heinrich (42nd and 45th) they also had better chances to score.

Until the end, however, the guests did not hold out the consistent game, thus conceded the second defeat of the season and slipped to fourth place, instead of replacing Munich at the top of the table in 1860.

Newcomers Saarbrücken celebrated their third win in their third home game, while SpVgg suffered their second defeat in their third away game.

FCS coach Lukas Kwasniok was delighted with the three, but he also admitted: "We were perhaps half a goal better over 90 minutes and are therefore not an undeserved, but definitely a happy winner." He was already looking forward to the second leg and that then hopefully viewers are allowed.

Yesterday in Ludwigspark, due to the number of corona infections, the stands had to remain empty for a short time after 900 fans were allowed until Thursday.

“Spectators definitely deserved this game,” said Kwasniok.
