The Denklinger 13-Minute Blackout

Kaufering / Denklingen - The two regional league teams from the Landsberg district remain leaders in their groups.

However: While VfL Kaufering won the top game against Oberstdorf, promoted VfL Denklingen suffered their first defeat of the season at FC Hertha Munich.

The impressive series of the Kauferinger continues - also the pursuers FC Oberstdorf could not stop the soaring of the team of coach Ben Enthart. The 3: 2 in the top game against the strong climber from the Allgäu was already the sixth three in a row for the league leaders, who were able to extend their lead over Oberstdorf and SpVgg Kaufbeuren (only 3: 3 in Babenhausen) to five points. And that with one game less than the two pursuers.

Co-trainer Michi Grasse on behalf of his “boss” (base course): “At the moment things are going in our direction. Now what we have worked out in preparation comes into play. We are happy and enjoy the victories. ”But nothing more. Because despite a "super game" it became clear how hard such successes have to be fought for and how nerve-wracking such a game can be. The Kauferinger were twice behind, twice they came back. In stoppage time in the first half, Sebastian Bonfert, the newcomer from TSV Landsberg, equalized 1: 1 after a corner from Florian Bucher, after an hour Alexander Schestak made it 2: 2 after the preparatory work of Felix Nebel, who had just been substituted. The winning goal then in the 72nd minute: After Schestak preparation, Tommy Hasche scored the 3-2. Grasse:"The joy was great - and the game was over."

The next top game will take place on Saturday (4 p.m.).

The leader of the table has to compete in third place in the table in Kaufbeuren.

The objective is clear: "We want to keep our series going," says Grasse.

First defeat

The impressive series of the previously unbeaten newcomer Vfl Denklingen came to an end at Hertha Munich.

The front runner had to be surprisingly clearly beaten 1: 4 - the first defeat in the tenth game after promotion.

However, coach Markus Ansorge was "not that disappointed".

He said: “We were the better team in the first half, we had five clear chances and two more at the beginning of the second half, Hertha had none.

We have to lead 2-0 or 3-0, then nothing more happens. "

But once is always the first time - Denklingen didn't score at the front and didn't defend as consistently as last.

Three goals against between the 61st and 73rd minute - after this "13-minute blackout" the game was decided in Munich's favor.

"The hardship paid", said Ansorge, for whose team Hannes Rambach at least the Ehrenteffer managed to make it 1: 3 (81st), before Hertha restored the old three-goal lead two minutes before the final whistle.

The coach: “We didn't take the chances, so in the end it was a deserved defeat.” Ansorge promises: “I will build the guys up again.

Now it's time to wipe your mouth, then you'll have a better performance on Sunday. "

At 3 p.m., a team, 1. FC Penzberg, came to Denklingen, which had a similar fate to Denklingen in the 1: 2 against MTV Berg on Saturday.

Ansorge, who was there: “They were also the better team and lost.

It's going to be an interesting game. ”As the championship leader, Denklingen is still three points ahead of a group of four pursuers.

These are Haidhausen, Raisting, Neuried and Oberweikertshofen.
