Dream day for TSV 1860: Furious 3-0 home win against Lautern - and all three competitors in the promotion battle are drawing.

The reward: 3rd place.

Munich - Michael Köllner scratched his beard briefly when Phillipp Steinhart made the preliminary decision with his goal to make it 3-0 (69th).

Petra Freitag, the partner of the Löwen trainer, knew at that moment: It won't be anything to transform her favorite back into the pre-Almöhi state, on the contrary: Köllner's Playoffbart is celebrating a small but appropriate anniversary (60 days).

This is due to the strong appearance of the lions, which Köllner coaches towards a white and blue happy ending according to the state of affairs. With the well-deserved 3-0 victory over Kaiserslautern in two draws by the competition, 1860 pushed FC Ingolstadt to fourth place and stalked Dresden and Rostock up to two points. “It wasn't a match at eye level,” Köllner analyzed harshly but correctly: “We played with good grip, persevered through our game and won 3-0. Job fulfilled. "

Munich on the way back to normal?

It looked like this an hour before kick-off in Giesing.

Löwen fans in western curve strength were out and about on the streets around the Grünwalder Stadium and stood in line with flags, when the bus with the professionals pulled up - folk festival atmosphere like in the gray pre-Corona times.

The police were represented by a few hundred groups, but had no serious reason to intervene.

“It's impressive what the fans showed before the game,” enthused Köllner.


Köllner raves about the trellis party of the lion fans

The footballers from number 114 displayed a similar presence in the game as their fans. The actually formally strong Palatinate saw themselves pressed into their own half from the start, but initially had something that the high-running hosts did not have: luck. Erik Tallig hesitated too long at the first chance of the game, at the second after nine minutes Stephan Salger's jersey was plucked, but the 1860 delegation waited in vain for the referee's whistle. “A crystal clear penalty,” complained assistant coach Oliver Beer in MagentaSport's half-time interview.

The fact that Beer presented his complaint without an angry tremolo in his voice was due to a counterattack from the textbook, which the lions brought to the finish line after a little more than half an hour. That happened: Eckball Lautern, Greilinger, who played for Wein, headed the ball to Biankadi, who sent Richard Neudecker on his journey with a perfectly timed pass. The right-winger could hardly have found a better addressee. The Neudecker, who had been outstanding for weeks, marched a few meters, was not irritated by guard Sessa and lifted the ball from 16 meters with a lot of feeling to make it 1-0 into the net.


A leadership can hardly be more deserving. And the best from the fans' point of view: 1860 stayed on the trigger even after the break and made everything clear early on with two Steinhart goals (penalty after foul on Mölders, deflected left-footed shot). It was the hero of the second half who dared to make a little announcement before the final sprint against Wehen, Bayern II and Ingolstadt: “That's three boards, but as we are at the moment, anything is possible.” Also second division games in the party stronghold Giesing.
