Happy ending after a card festival: The Löwen remain leaders in the 3rd division and have set a starting record with their fifth win in five games.

In the end, everyone involved was soaking wet, two red and eleven (!) yellow cards were listed on the game report sheet after a heated game, but the only numbers that interested the players and fans of TSV 1860 were on the historical scoreboard: Sixty 3 , guest 1 – the lions not only won their fifth of five league games this season, but also set the starting record they were aiming for.

"Leaders, leaders," cried the fans as a highly intense game headed for the final whistle after Joseph Boyamba's decisive goal (80').

The lions had led 2-0 against a self-confident Hallesche FC with two remarkable goals.

The first goal was an artful direct acceptance by Martin Kobylanski into the corner (34th), the 2:0 scored Yannick Deichmann (61st) in the follow-up after the brilliant Joker Boyamba had put him in the limelight in an exemplary manner.

The guests, who were ten from the 27th minute, gave the lions another goal after three clean sheets (Bolyki, 74th).

But it didn't detract from the mood.

Boyamba eliminated the last doubts about victory with his penalty goal after being fouled by Reddemann.

Remarkable: Even when things got tight, like after the red card for Tim Rieder (56th), Michael Köllner's serial winner didn't let himself be thrown off course,

"Measure not understandable": Köllner criticizes Referee Greif

"We got three points - that's what's in the end," said the 1860 coach after the spectacular rain battle: "We won our fifth game - even if it wobbled a bit every now and then." Köllner himself belonged yes to the eleven players who were given a yellow card by the overwhelmed referee Steven Greif, 28.

Not only the 1860 coach, who saw the colored disaster coming early, shook his head at the performance of the young whistle man from Gotha.

"I'm not a fan of beating up the referee," said Köllner, "but the level that he showed was incomprehensible to the players.

Because of that, I had to drop three players at half-time to avoid exactly what happened.” In other words, Tim Rieder was sent off.

Halle's trainer André Meyer even said the word "madness" when he assessed Graf's overzealous performance - quite justified, because while Rieder's red was still justifiable after an open-soled game, the early yellow-red for Tunay Deniz was after a harmless one Midfield pluck a momentous intervention in the statics of the game.

 We have to celebrate every win incredibly, but today was hard work - we had to overcome some adversity.

2-0 shooter Yannick Deichmann.

"In the end we're overjoyed that we won," said Deichmann, who was lucky himself when he made it 2-0 when Reddemann's ball, which had already been blocked, landed on his foot for a second pass.

But the start record stuck – and Deichmann didn't want to let the card orgy take away his joy.

"Five wins after five games - that's outstanding," said the Löwen-Treibauf from Hamburg: "We have to celebrate every win incredibly, but that was hard work today - in which we had to overcome some adversity."

Köllner donated two days off to wind down – it continues on Sunday in eight days at Viktoria Köln.
