Fighting spirit: Ingolstadt secures a point after a thrilling duel in Cottbus!
An exciting duel in the 3rd football league took place today in the Leag-Energie Stadium, where FC Energie Cottbus and FC Ingolstadt met. They ended up with a 1-1 draw, meaning Ingolstadt were finally able to get their first point of the season. In front of 10,631 spectators, the mood was palpable despite mixed feelings among the fans, because Cottbus was in the lead at times.
Cottbus started the game with a lot of pressure and didn't miss the first big chance of the game in the first minute through Marcel Costly. However, his shot was deflected by Dennis Kaygın and the ball went wide of the goal. In the 29th minute, Erik Engelhardt tested the Ingolstadt goal, but his attempt was also blocked by Gustav Christensen. In the 35th minute the time had come: a handball by Yannick Deichmann brought a penalty for the hosts, which Tolcay Cigerci safely converted and put Cottbus in the lead.
Second quarter and equalizer!
After the break it initially looked as if Cottbus could retain control of the game. But in the 54th minute it was Frederik Carlsen who equalized for Ingolstadt. After a precise cross from Mattis Hoppe, Carlsen confidently converted the ball. Ingolstadt now appeared inspired, but despite good opportunities they could no longer put the ball in the net.
In the last few minutes the game became exciting again. Cottbus was lucky when Ingolstadt's Alexander Sebald, who showed a strong performance as a substitute keeper, was able to parry a shot from Cottbus's Timmy Thiele in stoppage time. Almost seven minutes earlier there was a hit on the post that put the nerves of the Cottbus team and their coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz to the test. In fact, Wollitz was already planning to sign a new goalkeeper to increase competition in the team.
Coach voices and outlook
After the game, Wollitz was positive about his team's hard work and called for realistic expectations for the upcoming games. Ingolstadt's coach Sabrina Wittmann also had words of praise for her players' performance, even though they had to settle for a draw. Both teams now have the chance to gain experience from this game and prepare for the next challenges, as Cottbus' next opponent is Hoffenheim II.
So let's see whether the two teams can continue to improve their form after this exciting duel and fight their way up the table. The fans are sure: it will remain exciting!
