Successful dress rehearsal for 1860 before the restart of the 3rd division: 1:1 against second division club Lautern - in injury time.
Meanwhile, there are concerns about Morgalla's knees.
Perfectly manicured lawns, a square lined with pine trees and the coats of arms of the clubs that recently gave their business cards here on the tarpaulins: SSC Napoli, Hull and Crystal Palace from England, representatives from the Turkish Süper Lig. The Regnum Carya sports center in Belek has this winter experienced first-class football - and yesterday was the scene of the duel between two traditional German clubs.
TSV 1860 had arranged to meet 1. FC Kaiserslautern, a rival from better (and worse) times.
It was 1:1 (0:0) in the end, quite performance-based.
Misunderstanding in the defense before Lautern's leadership
The second division took the lead after a misunderstanding in the 1860 cover (57th) - ex-Hachinger Kevin Prince Redondo, who came on at half-time, had an easy time.
Seconds before the final whistle, the third division equalized: Martin Kobylanski, one of the training camp winners, circled a free kick towards the goal, which a Lauterer defensive leg deflected into the corner of his own net.
A result that gives Michael Köllner's team courage before the restart of the 3rd division in Mannheim (Saturday, 2 p.m.).
"It's good for morale that we managed to equalize with the last action," said defender Jesper Verlaat.

The afternoon did not end well for Leandro Morgalla, his partner in central defence.
After a blow to the knee, the young star had to be replaced, and team doctor Monika Mrosek immediately applied a thick ice bandage.
It wasn't clear at first whether it was something serious - but Morgalla didn't look completely unconcerned when he limped slightly and got into the shuttle bus with the waiting teammates.

Otherwise, the endurance test two days before the flight home confirmed what had become apparent in the training days before.
Kobylanski has fought his way back into Michael Köllner's starting XI, ready for a fresh start in the Löwen shirt.
Yannick Deichmann clears the place in midfield – after a trip to the offensive, the Kampflion is planned to play back right in the future.
The lions were defensive for a long time yesterday – at least until they conceded.
The problem lies further in the offensive.
"We hardly had any compelling chances to score," complained Vice President Hans Sitzberger, who nevertheless drew a satisfied conclusion: "Before the break we were better, after the break Lautern.
I think it was an achievement to build on.”
Martin Kobylanski a training camp winner
In any case, the 60 fans who traveled with them celebrated their lions, chanting the championship and cup victory after Kobylanski's late equalizer.
First of all, however, things continue in the 3rd division – on Saturday at SV Waldhof, who thoroughly messed up their dress rehearsal (1:5 against KSC).
All-round driver Roman Wöll: "A point in Mannheim would be okay, but then a winning streak is essential."
