TSV 1860 Munich proved their good form by beating the next top team.
Liberation against Ingolstadt: TSV 1860 Munich breathed a sigh of relief after their second home win in a row. Following Rot-Weiss Essen (2:0), the Lions also won the Bayern derby against FC Ingolstadt 3:1. Two wins against two promotion contenders.
After three wins and three draws from six games in the new year under new coach Argirios Giannikis, who once also coached RWE, the Lions are now eight points ahead of 17th place. “There’s still a long way to go, we’re staying focused and concentrated,” Giannikis emphasized to “Magenta TV” after the win over FCI.
Fynn Lakenmacher (15′), an own goal from Marius Funk (58′) and Leroy Kwadwo (90.+1) secured the win for the Munich side. Jannik Mause (71st penalty) brought Ingolstadt, who missed the jump to fourth place, closer in the meantime.
Hallescher FC suffered a setback in their fight to stay up in the league with a 2:3 (2:2) draw against Erzgebirge Aue. The hosts took the lead twice, but Aue struck back on both occasions. After Jannes Vollert was sent off for an emergency brake (65′), Marvin Stefaniak converted the penalty (66′) to give Aue the win.
Halle remain in relegation danger in 16th place, just one point ahead of 17th-placed Waldhof Mannheim. Lurking behind them are VfB Lübeck (22 points) and MSV Duisburg (20). Bottom club SC Freiburg II are already relegated with just ten points.
The match between 1. FC Saarbrücken and SpVgg Unterhaching, scheduled for Sunday at 7.30 pm, had already been called off on Thursday due to the desolate pitch at the Ludwigsparkstadion, as had the DFB Cup quarter-final between the hosts and Borussia Mönchengladbach previously. wozi with sid
