1860 Munich is still struggling to get going under new coach Markus Kauczinski. The team is now only two points ahead of the first relegation spot.
TSV 1860 Munich was considered one of the top favorites in the 3rd division due to spectacular transfers before the season. Among others, Kevin Volland was signed, but he was not a factor in the recent defeat and remained in the locker room at halftime because he had already been cautioned and had made another hard tackle.
After showering, he had to watch his team go down 0-4 to relegation candidates Jahn Regensburg. They are eight points behind the relegation play-off spot and the direct promotion spot, as Energie Cottbus and VfL Osnabrück are tied on points in second and third place.
Worse still, after 14 match days, the “Lions” are only two points above the first relegation spot. Even under new coach Markus Kauczinski, things are not going consistently well. Two home wins are now offset by two away defeats.
In Regensburg, it was Lucas Hermes who put Jahn ahead before the break. The hosts played great soccer in the first 45 minutes and went into the break with a well-deserved 1-0 lead. After the break, things got even worse for Munich. After hitting the crossbar in the 61st minute, Regensburg increased the score to 4-0. Leopold Wurm made it 2-0, and Noel Eichinger and Philipp Müller completed the humiliation for 1860. After the international break, Regensburg travels to Aachen (Saturday, November 22, 2 p.m.). 1860 Munich will play at home against 1. FC Saarbrücken on Sunday (November 23, 1:30 p.m.).
