Was that it for TSV 1860 in the promotion campaign?
The 1-0 defeat in Duisburg throws the lions back in the table and causes frustration.
Michael Köllner's team was well in the game for a long time - until Dennis Erdmann's squabbling in the penalty area changed everything ...
Red for Erdmann, penalty for Duisburg - “quasi a double handicap” (Köllner).
The gap to the relegation place is growing.
Not replacing Quirin Moll, a cruciate ligament patient, may have been a mistake.
In the 52nd minute, the
lion's
hope for
promotion was
pulled
into the muddy brown lawn of the
Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena
.
It was Dennis Erdmann who
pinched
the arm of his opponent
Aziz Bouhaddouz
and
finally brought
the storm giant down
after a couple of meters
.
As unnecessary as the foul was because
Marco Hiller
had already rushed out of his goal, the penalty was clear: a red card for Erdmann and a penalty for MSV Duisburg.
Moritz Stoppelkamp
grabbed the ball and transformed safely.
It was now 1-0 in a game that the Lions had dominated before the break.
It stayed that way because
Erdmann's donkey
changed the statics of the game.
He has to delete the ball beforehand or stay away.
1860 coach Michael Köllner on Dennis Erdmann's impetuous foul on Aziz Bouhaddouz.
After all: Erdmann was decent enough to run away
quickly
after his
pointless action
.
He shook hands with Bouhaddouz - and left the assessment to his trainer, who
pointed out
the
consequences of the emergency brake
with admirable equanimity
.
“That was almost a double handicap for us,” said Michael Köllner
and left it with a mild rebuke in front of the magenta camera: “Dennis did not behave tactically well in this scene, he knows that himself. He has to do that beforehand Delete the ball or stay away. "That Erdmann had
done
his team a
disservice
, Köllner said at least indirectly:" In retrospect it was decisive for the game, although we tried everything. "
Köllner mourned
Semi Belkahia's chance
to
head
the
ball a bit
after he came on
as a
psychological trick before the penalty kick was
taken.
It was the only chance to equalize (59th), because a lot was no longer outnumbered.
And it turned out to be even worse for 1860, because luck, which you did not have yourself, made for three late points elsewhere.
In the sixth minute of stoppage time
, Rostock scored the 2-1 winner against Kaiserslautern, which throws the lions back in the table even further.
Six points is the gap to third place
, which can increase to seven today in an Ingolstadt win against Türkgücü.
It is a lot of wood, especially since Köllner should also recognize that his lions lost the
quality and aura of a top team
weeks
ago.

The lions miss him a lot: With Quirin Moll as the clock, the lions got 17 points from seven games, without him less than half.

It is now taking revenge that the
sports management
did not or only insufficiently replenished when
the head of the team
said
goodbye to the sick leave
in
Quirin Moll
.
In the last first round match against Ingolstadt, Moll
tore
a
cruciate ligament
.
With luck, morals and a Mölders goal, there was a 1-0 victory in 1860, which in retrospect
marks
the
end of the new year's highs
.
With Moll as the clock in midfield, the Lions had made a remarkable intermediate spurt by the end of January: 17 points from seven games.
Without a minor, only eight points from seven games have been added since then
.
The balance of a climber became the quota of a loser
The balance of a climber turned into a relegation rate - because the lions
saved at the wrong end
during the winter break
?
It continues
on Saturday at Hall 10 in the table
- in its current form an opponent at eye level.
