Langengeislinger descent stops

The support from the fan bus didn't help either.

The 1: 3 (0: 2) at ESV Freilassing was the fifth defeat in a row for FC Langengeisling.

The district league climber showed two faces.

Langengeisling

- In the first half, the Geislingers offered the image of a series loser: without self-confidence, but also without luck.

Because the FCL could have taken the lead, but Maxi Birnbeck's shot missed the target.

And then the FCL defense made a big mistake.

A Freilassinger throw-in sailed into the penalty area.

The ball still bounced, and because neither the defender nor the goalkeeper intervened, ESV player-coach Albert Deiter said thank you and headed from one meter to make it 1-0.

Ten minutes had just been played.

Two minutes later, Deiter scored the 2-0.

The Geislinger had lost the ball in the forward movement.

The ESV countered quickly: back pass from the baseline, and Deiter dusted off from five meters.

A disaster loomed, but the FCL now defended themselves against the table runner-up. Birnbeck and his storm colleague Rene Mecking came up with opportunities, but did not use any of them. And when the ball was in the goal, the referee team had previously seen an offside position. “A tight decision,” said FCL chairman Sepp Kaiser afterwards, although he had other concerns. Goalkeeper Chris Bernhard had been hit on the ankle and had to be replaced at halftime, as had the ailing Severin Stenzel.

So the prospects for the second half are not good, "but the team did not let themselves down and tried everything again," praised Kaiser. Several times there was the opportunity to hit the next goal, "but if you're in the back, then you're just out of luck". And bad luck: After a pass into the depths, Simon Schlosser marked the 3-0. Dominik Geigerseder had skipped the ball, but the ball jumped unluckily from the goalkeeper into the goal (53rd).

The Geislingers rolled up their sleeves again.

Maxi Hintermaier converted a hand penalty to 1: 3 (58th).

“After that we actually have to make it 2-3.

There would have been enough opportunities, "says Kaiser," but our strikers are not running out of anything at the moment. "

The currently injured goalscorer on duty, Maxi Maier, is sorely missed.

Kaiser: "Even if we were second in the table: We could have taken something here."
