TSV 1860 U21 fails against Ingolstadt II - where is the upswing?

On Saturday afternoon, things were anything but smooth for the U21s of TSV 1860 Munich. In the duel against the second team of FC Ingolstadt, coach Frank Schmöller's team had to admit defeat 1:3. The Löwen youth fell behind in the 6th minute when Ingolstadt scored the first goal. Despite their best efforts, the U21s were unable to convert the pressure into goals and had to concede two more goals in the 40th and 42nd minutes before half-time, which increased the deficit to 0-3. The performance improved after half-time, but the U21s didn't find any dangerous chances. Only Damjan Dordan scored a consolation goal in the 82nd minute, but this could not prevent the defeat. [Sechzger.de] reports on a clear game that sees the entire U21 team facing a major upheaval, as the first game of the season against TSV Kottern is scheduled for next week.

The situation is definitely tense for the Lions’ U21s. After the defeat against FC Ingolstadt II, the team did not win a single game. Most recently there was a 1-1 draw against FC Ismaning. The balance shows that the pressure is great, especially after the red card for Fabian Rother, who was sent off after 22 minutes, and the further sending off for Leon Tutic in the final minutes. These incidents contribute to the current ranking of 11th in the Bayernliga. A promotion place has therefore become a long way off for the time being. According to [Dieblaue24], it is clear to the players that a turnaround is urgently needed.

Dream start to the season as a goal

Although the current situation may seem challenging, the team can look back on a successful final English week in which they collected nine points and even went top of the table at one point. Particularly noteworthy is the convincing 3-0 win against FC Pipinsried, in which Mike Gevorgyan scored the first two goals and Moritz Bangerter made his contribution. This performance showed that the U21 definitely has the potential to shine in the Bayernliga, as [Wochenanzeiger] also noted.

Support from the professional squad could prove crucial. With players like Eliot Muteba and Moritz Bangerter also providing regular goalscoring threats, the U21s could use a breath of fresh air in the coming games. However, it remains unclear to what extent squad reinforcement can be applied. The next important game against TSV Kottern is scheduled for Friday. It remains to be seen whether this decision will lead to the young team finally being able to win one of their next games.

The U21 of TSV 1860 has been convincing in the last few games, but the next step is crucial: a success against Kottern could break the knot and catapult the team further up the table.
