Bavaria: Next setback for 1860 Munich in the promotion race

Munich (dpa/lby) - TSV 1860 Munich suffered the next serious setback in the promotion battle at the start of the second half of the third football league. The “Lions” lost 2-1 (1-0) against Dynamo Dresden on Monday evening after an early goal by Albion Vrenezi (5th minute).

Stefan Kutschke (56th) and Dennis Borkowski (76th) turned the game around in favor of the Saxons with their goals after the break in front of 15,000 spectators in the Grünwalder Stadium. The ailing sixties run the risk of missing out on the return to the 2nd division that has been announced as a goal for the season. "We started very well. We left too much behind afterwards. In the end, Dynamo punished us," said 1860 trainer Michael Köllner at Magentasport.

In the duel between the traditional clubs, only the initial phase went as desired for the hosts. Attacker Vrenezi scored after an energetic solo run from 19 meters with a well-placed low shot. The refill didn't work. At the equalizing goal, the TSV pros Jesper Verlaat and Tim Rieder unhappily rushed together in midfield. The guests kept playing. Ahmet Arslan was able to cross undisturbed, Kutschke hit his head. 1860 also defended too laxly in Borkowski's winning goal. Substitute goalscorer Marcel Bär was unable to convert a great header chance to make it 2-2 (85').
