Last year's third place FC Schwaig drew a not necessarily expected but deserved draw at last year's second place FC Unterföhring.
Schwaig - Last season, FC Unterföhring was FC Schwaig's direct competitor for the relegation place towards the Bayernliga - but above all, the former regional league team was a nightmare.
With twelve goals conceded in two games, Schwaig was crushed.
The sports fans learned from this and sold well on Tuesday evening with a 0-0 draw in Unterföhring.
Above all, the 3:7 home defeat is unforgettable, because offensive Schwaiger ran into the open knife and were mercilessly countered.
That shouldn't happen this time, and player-coach Ben Held drew exactly the right conclusions from the lessons.
His team was compact, avoided the risk going forward and countered aggressively.
This time there was a fight instead of a game, and the first victim was Michael Schrödl.
The former Eittinger moved from Hallbergmoos to Unterföhring in the summer and had to leave after seven minutes with an ankle injury.
There are some indications that he will be given a forced break for a few weeks.
This time there wasn't much of a spectacle.
Both teams neutralized each other in the first half before the game broke loose a bit after the break.
In the middle of the second half, Unterföhring had advantages and a few good shots.
After a corner, a Schwaiger defender had to clear the line.
At the end the 0:0 was happy again for Unterföhring, because Coach Held's team ignited the turbo from the 70th minute and Unterföhring was on the verge of defeat.
After a bad pass, Raffael Ascher ran alone to goalkeeper Sebastian Fritz and remained second winner.
The other fast goal was a superb free kick by Johannes Empl in stoppage time.
He circled the ball wonderfully over the wall, but Unterföhring's goalkeeper also got his fingertips on the ball.
Ultimately, the division of points was performance-based after a game that was pretty much the opposite of last year.
Both teams have the potential to play at the top of the national league again this year.
In the small top game on the second day, Unterföhring and Schwaig showed that they have developed further and can also play defensively.
