This victory can release strength - unfortunately it will probably come a month late. Completely surprisingly, third division bottom SpVgg Unterhaching won against leaders Dynamo Dresden yesterday afternoon.
Unterhaching– it was 2-0 after 90 minutes, and not even undeservedly.
First of all, the Hachinger team successfully defended themselves against the playfully more mature guest team, then finally luck was on their side, finally they bought the big favorites with great fighting commitment.
In the end, SpVgg was even closer to the third goal than Dynamo to the subsequent goal.
“We showed passion, we cut everything and deservedly won,” said coach Arie van Lent, relieved.
Dynamo coach Markus Kauczinski had to admit that: “It was deserved.
We played well in the game for 20 minutes, but then we lost the thread. ”“ We won completely deservedly, ”said Haching's captain Markus Schwabl, who admitted that“ I had a gut feeling early this morning that we would win the game.
Nobody believed in us except ourselves.
We defended well in the back, made two in front, and then you win a game. "
Dresden began the game in the sports park in the style of a top team and also came to the first two big chances.
Stefaniak failed twice against SpVgg keeper Jo Coppens (15th and 22nd).
When the hosts were finally able to free themselves from the pressure towards the end of the first half, Stephan Hain took the lead.
After a cross from Markus Schwabl, the striker, who had finally recovered after a long break, headed in to make it 1-0.
“The goal did us good,” said van Lent, “and it's a different game for us when Stephan is there.
With him we are clearly stronger. "
Christoph Greger got the already decisive 2-0 with a penalty kick in the 56th minute after Königsdörffer knocked Hachingen defender Jannis Turtschan (19) off his feet in the penalty area yesterday.
And here luck was finally on Unterhaching's side.
Dynamo goalkeeper Broll had foreseen the corner from the penalty kick and it was his turn, but the placed ball hit the right corner.
After that, the front runner acted surprisingly haphazardly, but SpVgg sensed the chance for a third goal.
Patrick Hasenhüttl missed the best opportunity twelve minutes before the end when he shot volley over the guests' goal after preliminary work by Niclas Anspach.
"I also had the feeling that we weren't in the game for 20 minutes," said van Lent after the final whistle, but found positive approaches compared to the unsatisfactory previous weeks: "This time nothing burned in the standards that would otherwise be our weakness was. “Haching's deficit on the first non-relegation place is only six points, but seven game days before the end of the season.
After all, SpVgg was able to shorten the slip-ups of the competition with the unexpected three-point - new hope in the relegation battle, which probably just comes too late.
“This victory will give us a little more peace next week,” believes Haching's head coach, “the belief has grown again, we are part of it again.
Maybe we're good for a surprise, we're not relegated yet. ”The captain confirmed this:“ If we had started playing like this earlier, we would be different, ”said Schwabl,“ but I definitely haven't written off ourselves yet .
If you want to give up, you are very welcome to do so, but I don't want to see him on the training ground tomorrow. "
