The win against Wehen Wiesbaden on Saturday was just a brief rebellion and not the turning point.
The SpVgg Unterhaching lost the catch-up game in Halle with 0-2 on Tuesday and fell back into the old mode: poorly played, rightly lost.
It was the seventh defeat in the twelfth game of the season and the fourth without a goal.
Unterhaching coach Arie van Lent once again sounded quite frustrated when he had to admit after the final whistle: “We didn't play well and deserve to leave the pitch as a loser.
We were unclean in all our actions, so we weren't at all dangerous up front and had no structure in the game. ”The Hachingen team had impressively demonstrated at the weekend in the home game against Wehen Wiesbaden that they can do better.
Why she was clearly inferior again this time and acted so weakly was also a mystery to the coach: “I sometimes ask myself why you can't see the self-confidence on the pitch.
This is a lucky bag for us. "
The game in the icy stadium in Halle was a bit unfortunate for SpVgg in the end.
In the final phase, a header from Felix Göttlicher was initially denied recognition by referee Stegemann because Max Dombrowka should have made an offensive foul in the previous header duel.
A wrong decision, as the TV pictures showed - but which the referee did not have available.
Annoying, because “I go up to the headers normally and don't work with my hands either, I can't do more”, says “culprit” Dombrowka.
It was also annoying because the Hachinger team was just starting to take part in the game at this late point in time (78th).
"Of course we were behind, but the time would have been good for a goal, we were just on the trigger." In the 90th minute, the again substitute Boipelo Mashigo hit the post of the home side's goal with a shot from 15 meters, however, the dangerous offensive actions came much too late.
“We didn't make it out of the back,” Dombrowka analyzed the entire game, “but of course we get the goals far too easily beforehand.
Especially in the first half, we didn't play as we can.
A few players were not at 100 percent, unfortunately I was there too. "Arie van Lent did not hold back with criticism after the disappointing performance:" That was unclean in the passing game, we did not get a ball and were safe forward. "
Not only was Haching's record weak on the offensive, but also once again the vulnerability in defense.
The guests never got the double scorer Terrence Boyd, who had already scored both goals to a 2-0 win in Halle's last game against Viktoria Köln.
Goalkeeper Nico Mantl had to clear a foot defense against the American after four minutes.
In Boyd's header to make it 1-0, Markus Schwabl and Niclas Stierlin duped in a double, in the 2-0 Luca Marseiler lost the ball in the opposing half, then Robert Müller and Felix Göttlicher Boyd couldn't do his 50-meter run and one prevent successful completion.
Van Lent would have to work on a number of construction sites again, but training is hardly possible given the constant English weeks.
The SpVgg continues in rapid succession, the Munich derby against newly promoted SV Türkgücü in the Munich Olympic Stadium is already on Saturday.
Quite a lot more than the first perseverance slogans could not be heard with regard to this game in Halle.
"We're still going there with optimism," assured Haching's coach.
"Cut everything out", Dombrowka set the route, "now all that counts is fight and passion and commitment."
