Happy win – important threesome: 1.FC Bad Kötzting wins 2-1 against Dingolfing

It was a close affair on Friday evening at the Roter Steg. After an exciting 90 minutes, 1. FC Bad Kötzting brought the strong newcomers FC Dingolfing to their knees 2-1. The Badstädter team had to tremble a few times, especially in the second half.

The Früchtl team was already under a bit of pressure before this party – and this match couldn’t have started any worse for them. Alexander Kautz misused a ball on the baseline, and then it was easy for the guests: Lukas Hofstetter served Wimmer in the center, and all he had to do was push it in (2nd). In return, they almost equalized: Benesch had a free shot in the penalty area, while guest keeper Müller parried with a foot save.
There was a stronger start from both sides, but after that the party belonged to the Dingolfingers. They kept coming dangerously in front of the home team’s goal. Burkhardt had to save at the last second after a counterattack, as did Kautz, who tipped the ball off the foot of Hochstetter, who was ready to take a shot.

After a good 20 minutes the red-blues got stronger and within a few minutes the party was over. In minute 25, Die Dingolfinger also gives a gift. After a bad pass, sly Miroslav Spirek was there. He lobbed past guest keeper Luca Müller from a good 30 meters to make it 1-1 (25th). The equalizer inspired the home team, who were now bosses in the ring. Six minutes later the lead fell: After a cross from Max Drexler, the incoming Robert Aubrecht scored with a volley (31′). Shortly before the break, the BMW city team had another chance: a deflected shot from Bauer hung just centimeters past the far post. With a narrow lead for the Red and Blues in the dressing room.

Less than two minutes had been played in the second half when the hosts missed a huge chance to make it 3-1. Burkhardt had a great shot with a heel kick, but Miroslav Spirek put the ball past the post from twelve meters (47′).

Then came the Dingolfingers’ strongest phase, which increasingly increased the pressure. The people of Badstadt did hard work and hardly got any relief during this phase. After Drexler lost the ball, Seidl’s team had the majority, and in the end Dedaj shot over the goal too hastily in front of FCK keeper Vogl. Just a few minutes later, the home team was lucky when Yannik Justvan hit the inside post after a poke in the penalty area (66′). The equalizer was in the air. At the latest when Berleb’s low shot went just past the post, Bad Kötztinger’s lead could be described as fortunate.

The Red Blues struggled in the final quarter of an hour and had several counterattack opportunities. Dominik Hanninger missed the best in the 83rd minute. Instead of convincing himself, he wanted to put the ball across again. The huge decision was wasted.

Then things got heated again at the Roter Steg. The Dingolfing team weakened themselves in the final minutes. First, Jonas Petri had to leave the field for ten minutes after a verbal argument with the referee. In the final minute, Justvan followed him with yellow-red.

Then it was over at the Roter Steg. In a thrilling party, the home team narrowly retained the upper hand against strong guests. They certainly deserved a point at the Roter Steg for their performance.

“Those were very important points for us against a very strong opponent. Both teams handed out gifts at the beginning. We were sleepy again at the beginning. After that we fought our way into the game and turned the match around. In some situations we had luck on our side. “But we also had opportunities to decide the match,” said Bad Kötzting’s coach Konrad Früchtl.
