Lots of news from TSV 1860 Munich. The 2-1 win at FC Ingolstadt has several repercussions.

After 101 minutes, TSV 1860 Munich secured their fourth consecutive victory: Sigurd Haugen and Patrick Hobsch turned the game around at FC Ingolstadt after Dennis Kaygin had given Ingolstadt the lead.

Sixty jumped to seventh place and is now only three points away from a direct promotion spot after MSV Duisburg could not get past a 0-0 draw against Aue and Verl also played 0-0 against Rot-Weiss Essen.

However, there was two pieces of bad news on the personnel front. Haugen sustained injuries in a collision with Ingolstadt keeper Kai Eisele that required surgery. The scorer of the equalizer to make it 1-1 has already undergone the operation but will be out for several weeks, the club announced after the game.

Kevin Volland was also injured. The veteran received a yellow-red card against FCI and had to leave the field injured. He can cope with a one-match suspension, as his injury is to be treated over the holidays and New Year anyway.

“We wish both players a speedy recovery. We are glad that Kevin Volland will not be out for a long time,” said Löwen managing director Manfred Paula. “Sigurd Haugen’s absence hurts us a lot, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that he’ll be back on the training ground as soon as possible.”

What this means for the big game against Rot-Weiss Essen at the start of the second half of the season on Saturday, January 17, at 2 p.m., remains to be seen.

On the way back from Ingolstadt, there were also fan riots on the train. “TSV 1860 supporters defaced the passenger area with graffiti and stickers. Late Saturday afternoon, unknown individuals defaced the passenger compartment of the RB 16 regional train on the route between Ingolstadt Central Station and Munich Central Station. The perpetrators used water-insoluble paint to deface train walls, seats, windows, and mirrors, among other things, and applied numerous stickers,” the federal police reported.

It added: “The spray-painted area covers around 60 square meters. The damage to property has so far been estimated at a low four-figure sum. In addition, DB Regio AG has filed a criminal complaint regarding another case of vandalism. On the outward journey to Ingolstadt, similar damage was found on a train, causing damage amounting to around €500.”

And then the semi-finals of the Bavarian Cup were drawn. At the end of March, TSV will face league rivals SSV Jahn Regensburg.
