TSV 1860 Munich has everything in its own hands in the final spurt of the 3rd division.
There are still two games in the league - and then maybe two more in the relegation.
Wiesbaden / Munich - Due to the 1-1 draw at SV Wehen, 1860 definitely has a final in Ingolstadt on May 22nd.
For a long time in the game it looked as if the series of lions would now break.
For a good hour on Saturday it looked as if Michael Kölner's beard of success was about to go down.
consecrated to the full shave.
Then succeeded what not every lion in this ungrateful game had believed in anymore.
Something that even Captain Sascha Mölders had failed to do several times that afternoon.
After a pass from Richard Neudecker Steinhart withdrew, and although he used his weak right foot out of the situation, the ball found its way into the goal of SV Wehen, deflected by one or the other leg of the opponent.
TSV 1860: "We have always come back this season"
But still the 1: 1, it was also the final score. Since the 32nd minute, the hosts had been in the lead through Wurtz and defended this lead with passion, as if they were still in the race for promotion. "We have always come back this season," commented Rescuer Steinhart, not concealing Wehen's first-class counter-chances: "We'll take that into the next games."
So everything went well again, not just for the undergrowth on Köllner's face that has grown over the top since the beginning of March.
The lions could not only be satisfied because luck seemed to have turned away from the game for long stretches.
Significant: Mölders left a free-standing premium opportunity (43rd).
A shot deflected by Lex was defused by Tim Boss and then tumbled into the post (63.).
However: the promotion rivals in Rostock and Ingolstadt did not get the favorable intermediate result in Wiesbaden legs, on the contrary.
In the end, both had to be satisfied with zero numbers, which help the eastern clubs at the top of the table more than the pursuers from Upper Bavaria.
Fight for promotion: Rostock is almost through
After Dresden (2-0 against Cologne) Rostock is practically through: With two wins against relegated Haching and the penultimate Lübeck, FC Hansa can make the second division clear.
Bitter for 1860: With a victory in Wiesbaden, second place in the final accounts would have been a realistic option.
Now it smells more than ever after relegation, the fourth since 2015. Positive, however: The final in Ingolstadt thanks to Steinhart's compensation, the Lions are 99.9 percent safe.

The situation before the last two match days promises pure drama.
1860 and FCI go into the final sprint with equal points, and even if Sechzig loses the derby against Bayern II at the weekend and FCI wins in Duisburg, there will be a final for third place on May 22nd.
The biggest trump card of the Köllner-Elf is now the goal difference (+36), in which Ingolstadt (+10) has to work very hard to catch the lions over this rating.
Steinhart's compensation was "extremely important", commented Köllner, but this time again avoided going on the offensive when it came to promotion.
With Marco Hiller, the game plan ensures that Ingolstadt is not so present in his head. "Our goal now is to win the next game," said the 1860 goalkeeper and looked aggressively ahead to Sunday - the adrenaline duel with Bayern II: "Regardless of the table situation, it's a derby, a great game!" The showdown on May 22nd can wait - and so can Köllner's razor.
