Lions wrestle front runners down - back in the ascent race in 1860?

Michael Köllner's team returned impressively against Dynamo Dresden.

In the end there was a not undeserved 1-0 success.

Munich - "Servus Peter, do it good!" The 1860 Ultras conjured up a loving homage to the late Peter Grosser on the fence of the deserted west curve.

The legendary lion captain had the championship trophy and DFB-Pokal in his arms during the block-spanning choreography - and the strict soccer esthete would certainly have enjoyed yesterday's top game in the third division.

Grossers Löwen not only stood up to the front runners Dresden, they even managed to force this one goal that might open up new prospects in the promotion battle.

TSV 1860: Rock hard with the golden goal

It was 1-0 in the end after Phillipp Steinhart had taken courage in the 86th minute.

Eleven and twelve points behind second and third were threatened, so it is nine.

Still a lot of wood, but Steinhart at least saved the tension.

“I'm glad he went in,” said the left-back, commenting on his cool winner, followed by an announcement: “We haven't given up for a long time.” Michael Köllner also looked relieved: “We are happy that we beat the table leaders ", Said the 1860 coach:" Both teams defended vigorously, threw themselves into all the balls - in the end, nuances decide. "

Löwen and Dynamo Dresden at eye level

With an unchanged, but tactically slightly changed line-up (Lex on the left, Biankadi in the center of the recovered Neudecker), the Lions showed that they can keep up with the sovereign of the 3rd division at least one evening.

After the first warning shots by Daferner, Sascha Mölders had the 1-0 on his feet in the 13th minute when he let the bar tremble dry from the turn in front of the beautiful west curve choreo - only the glove tips of Dynamo keeper Kevin Broll prevented it 1860 leadership.

"Great shot by Sascha, but also kept great," praised assistant coach Oliver Beer in an interview with MagentaSport.

The verdict of the Köllner assistant: “I think we're good at the game.

In the last third we have to play even more courageously. "

Dynamo talent leaves big chance

The guests thwarted this plan, which was good in itself, by relying on their concrete defense without humor and at first without great effort.

The lions seemed to run out of ideas first, then courage and vigor.

Dynamo talent Königsdörffer left the 0: 1 free in the 84th minute.

What followed was the one bright moment that Köllner had hoped for.

Willsch intercepted a ball, the ball got to Steinhart via Staude and Lex - the rest is known.

On Sunday, sports director Günther Gorenzel played the halali (“We're going to hunt!”) - in the first of ten finals, his lions followed suit.

Only Köllner has yet to be convinced.

When asked about promotion opportunities, he said with a grin: “The first three teams are gone, that's for sure.

We'll see what is still possible in the nine games, but first we have to do our things - and hope that something happens before us.

At the moment that's too much subjunctive for me. "(Uli Kellner)
