Baden-Württemberg: Next away defeat: Mannheim loses in Halle

Halle (dpa/lsw) - The away misery of SV Waldhof Mannheim in the 3rd football league continues. The 1:3 (1:2) at Hallesches FC on Saturday was already the sixth defeat in a row abroad. Overall, the Mannheimers have only scored one point away from home this season. They are in eighth place in the table and have lost contact with the top group for the time being.

In front of 6541 spectators, the guests got into the game well and took the lead after eight minutes through Laurent Jans. Coach Christian Neidhart's protégés then controlled what was happening on the pitch before a controversial hand penalty, which Halles Niklas Kreuzer safely converted (38'), turned the tide. With goals in added time in the first half by Jonas Nietfeld (45.2) and shortly after the restart by Tom Zimmerschied (48.), Halle secured the three points and increased Mannheim's problems, where Gerrit Gohlke scored in the 59th minute Yellow-red card saw.
