Cologne / Munich - Does the TSV 1860 run out of air in the end of the season? It looks like this, because for the second time in a row the lions remained goalless, conceded the third defeat in the fourth game at 0: 2 (0: 0) at Viktoria Köln and again failed to make it the obligatory 0: 1 deficit (sixth in a row) to catch up. Five games are still pending, but given the five-point deficit on the relegation place (currently Würzburg) and with a lot of chunks in front of the chest (including three Bavarian derbies), it should be difficult to register again in the ascent battle. "We weren't good enough today," said coach Michael Köllner: "It was a blueprint for the last few games. If you don't score a goal, it will be difficult. "

TSV 1860: Arch rival's rifle aid could not be used

Artig had thanked Köllner on Monday for Bayern II for the rifle aid in the 3-2 victory in Mannheim ("I think it's good when two clubs stick together"). On Tuesday, however, the "lions" were on their own. All that mattered was a threesome - even if the 1860 coach did not want to know anything about an endgame and only spoke of wanting to put the “lid” on relegation.

After nine away games without defeat, the # Löwen lose again.

The Köllner-Elf tackled this project with concentrated offensive power: The end of the short-time work meant for Sascha Mölders (after a yellow card suspension and joker against his will), he was assisted by two dangerous teammates in Stefan Lex and Prince Owusu. The line-up of the back rows did not even hit 08/15: Aaron Berzel was given a breather, Quirin Moll was not in the 18-man squad at all - the chance for Kristian Böhnlein to prove himself in an away game in the west for the second time in a row ( Ticker for reading).

1860 Munich loses to Viktoria Köln: You could rely on a "lion" virtue

A goal like the 2-1 win in Düsseldorf against Uerdingen did not succeed Böhnlein - how the lions struggled at all to advance dangerously into the Cologne penalty area. They put a lot of passion into their efforts, had the field superiority of a home team, alone: ​​The goal, which was imperative because of the Würzburg result (2-0 against FCK), did not want to fall. Lex aimed too high in a long-range shot (3rd), Owusu artistically missed a Rieder pass (15th). The Viktoria had a bigger chance when Wunderlich was slowed down by the submerged Marco Hiller after Holzweiler-Pass (32.). Conclusion on the break: An intense game that (still) lacked the point.

With Leon Klassen for Böhnlein, Köllner wanted to go on the offensive, but you could rely on one virtue . They were also lagging behind in the sixth game of the Corona weeks. Gottschling circled a cross from the right in front of the goal, the old warhorse Bunjaku (he turns 37 in November) held out his shoes and watched contentedly as the ball found its way into the corner. Daniel Wein bowed his head. To come a step too late against the sluggish Bunjaku has happened to completely different opponents. For the Kosovar, it was season hit number 18.

Despite Köllner's orgy of change, the lions did not recover from this hit. Holzweiler let the 2-0 follow with a cheeky blow - that's it. Probably also for the white-blue ascent dreams .
