It was all prepared for one of these beautiful football stories: the heavily battered bottom of the table of the third division, since 18 games without victory, creates the turnaround in front of 15,000 frenetic fans in the traditional Essen stadium on Hafenstrasse. And the goalkeeper number two, to whom the new trainer has given the trust, has become the match winner. The reality was a bit different, because despite an impressive performance, especially in the initial phase, the Unterhaching game association had to satisfy itself with a 1-1 draw at Rot-Weiss Essen on Saturday afternoon-because Kai Eisele, who was from coach Heiko U17 world champion Konstantin Heide was ordered into the goal, then had to let one of the opponent’s 38 shots pass.
With which the big liberation of the Hachinger failed to materialize and the Vorstadt residents are already waiting for a whole half series for a triple point win. But Heiko Herrlich, who moved into sporting responsibility during the winter break, broke a lance for the morale of his very young team in the press conference after the game: “I have great respect for the team, the motivation is there, it shows week after week A huge heart and that’s not so easy if you are at the back. “
There are also constant personnel setbacks. This week, some players had to expose them to the training due to illness, and the defensive routiners Manuel Stiefler (yellow-red lock) and Tim Knipping (fifth yellow card) were not eligible to play. Despite all the adversity, the red-blue started the game with a lot of momentum, let some good opportunities spread out of the game in order to then take the lead by standard situation. Fabio Torsiello, brought from Darmstadt in January, placed a free kick past the wall in the Toreck (18th).
The Unterhachinger went to the limits of their resilience in the first half hour, as wonderfully emphasized: “From the 30th minute we were already missing the strength, so we let ourselves be pushed far behind, but very well defended.” And here comes away. The Eisele personnel. Even before the season, many in the vicinity of the SpVgg had expressed doubts about the club strategy to have the goalkeeper René Vollath pulled to TSV 1860 and fully rely on young people Heide. The 19-year-old promptly made some mistakes in the game.
Leander Popp awards the big chance to 2-0 for Haching, in the end the guests at least bring the draw to the finish line
The Eisele in Essen, ten years older, avoided one: “I’ve always been there for seven months, just didn’t play. My job is to keep the box clean. And I have more experience that is logical at my age, ”said the Baden native of Baden after magenta. Heiko Herrlich was praise: “He did his job very well, he can’t do anything with the goal. But he was the rock in the surf. ”Although it must also be said that many of the more than three dozen attempts by Essener were granted, blocked or defused by Eisele’s defense colleagues.
Anyone who knows how the game would have gone would have used Leander Popp, the other winter access of the Hachinger, shortly after the break, used his big chance to 0: 2, but the ball crashed into RWE keeper Jakob Golz (50th). This was followed by a single permanent storm run by the Esseners, who in the 78th minute also managed to equalize when the Torben Müsel, who had recently substituted, circled the ball from almost 20 meters into the right corner with a lot of effect. With luck and skill, the Vorstädter brought the 1-1 over time.
SpVgg trainer Herrlich took note of the draw: “Every game is a step forward, especially when it comes to statistics. We don’t play like someone who is in the last place. You have to differentiate between the result and performance. And it gets better and better. ”Just stupid that the games are getting fewer and fewer until the presumed descent.
