FC Bayern II lost again after three games without a defeat.

In the catch-up game against SC Verl, Holger Seitz's team was knocked out in the closing stages.

Munich - In the end, despite the lead, nothing countable remained.

Just three days after the 2-0 win against SV Wehen-Wiesbaden, the little Bavarians lost 2-1 to SC Verl in a catch-up game on Wednesday evening.

The veteran Timo Kern had used a bad mistake by Verl's goalkeeper Robin Brüseke to lead Munich shortly after the restart after a balanced and competitive first section

Mael Vincent Corboz (69th) and Aygün Yildirim (90th), however, turned the game in favor of East Westphalia.

So it didn't help that Bayern goalkeeper Lukas Schneller parried a penalty from former Türkgücü attacker Kasim Rabihic in stoppage time.

Nevertheless, after the final whistle, coach Holger Seitz complained that his team was “not very enthusiastic”.

FC Bayern: Holger Seitz makes eight changes in the starting line-up against SC Verl

While the game against 1. FC Magdeburg on Saturday was moved to the small stadium on the “Bayern Campus” in the north of Munich, the “Bayern Amateurs” played in the second of three home games within seven days on the badly battered lawn of the Giesinger Rund at.

After a two-game suspension, Seitz returned to Bayern-Bank.

Compared to the Sunday game, he made eight changes in his starting XI to "counteract the high stress this week", as he emphasized.

“That,” said the 46-year-old, “has nothing to do with the defeat”. 

The lead on the relegation places in the table before the duel against the SCM is still a comfortable eight points.

SC Verl overtook Munich with a trio of Türkgücü and is one point behind TSV 1860 in seventh place.
