After the convincing 2-1 win in Dortmund: now rate the Lions yourself!

They were lions like you’ve never seen before in this third division season: coach Agis Giannikis’ team played football for the first time, didn’t lose a ball, and after a mixed first half with a 0-1 deficit, scored two fantastic goals – and In the end, the Lions deservedly won 2-1 against Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga reserves. This time there is no discussion as to whether the victory was deserved or not. 1860 convinced his critics. It was the best performance of the season – by far.

Of course, coach Agis Giannikis was extremely satisfied afterwards after the perfect English week with three Oktoberfest victories on the sidelines of the big Bundesliga stage, the Signal Iduna Park: “We got nine points, had a perfect English week and also won four of the last games won. You can see that the team is gaining more and more self-confidence. I believe that we are on the right path.” A path that currently leaves us in eighth place in the third division.

Because Giannikis wants to reward the Oktoberfest Lions, he is giving the next two days off: “We have a sponsorship appointment with the team at the Oktoberfest on Tuesday.” But the players now get a day or two to catch their breath after the English week. There were a lot of travel hardships too. And the trainer can now reward with a free day. They get the time they deserve. And then they can go to the Oktoberfest.”

On this rainy Saturday afternoon, goalkeeper Rene Vollath and captain Jesper Verlaat, who were at the back and front, won countless duels and inspired his colleagues with his performance, brought top performances.
