Important home win for the 1. FC Kaiserslautern: With a sovereign 3-0 (0: 0) home win against Kellerkind Regensburg, the Palatinate strengthened their position in the promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga and initially jumped in second place in the Tableau.
“The team gets better from week to week“, FCK coach Markus Beginning after the game was pleased. But the coach also warned:”We have to stay with us.“Regensburg coach Andreas Patz struggled with the minutes after the change of sides, in which his team learned the KO with a double strike:”We tore ourselves down in five minutes, which we had worked hard for 45 minutes beforehand“, said the coach.
It’s slowly going into the “Crunch Time“How to call the decisive season weeks in football in spring. For the FCK, which is involved in the middle of the promotion struggle to the Bundesliga, this means that there should be no points against Kellerkind Regensburg. The Jahn, on the other hand, is deep in the mess: Eleven games before the end of the season were the Upper Palatinate before the game behind the relegation and eight Riverbank.
Tempore start
Three points are needed – so that was for both teams. Accordingly, the teams did not stay with a preliminary plan. It went forward! With the FCK and his first dangerous situation after a good two minutes: Marlon Ritter had finished on the right, went from the outside towards the goal and checked Julian Pollersbeck in the goal of the Jahn with a hard flat shot right.
But on the other hand, too, it got out early: after a deep ball, FCK defender Jan Elvedi unhappily cleared in the middle and Kai Pröger suddenly had a free fire line. Lautern’s keeper Julian Krahl was able to parry his direct end of half -right (10th).
Regensburg surprised
Surprisingly, the bottom of the game now took over the game control. And had the next very good chance after 20 minutes: Sargis Adamyan, loan from 1. FC Köln, had deducted from 22 meters after loser ball loss in his own half. However, his long -distance shot stroked by centimeter on the right. Krahl would not have come.
It was high time to react for the FCK. This worked in the form of a rapid attack on links. Midfield man Filip Kaloc was released, had a free shooting track 13 meters in front of the goal. But he too could not overcome Pollersbeck, who had worn the louder jersey himself ten years ago (26th). Three minutes later, a monster parade from the Jahn keeper: Aches low shot from 15 meters, the 30-year-old fished sensationally from the corner.
FCK flash start in 2, half
After the lively first half of the game, which had remained goalless, the second section began with a hit: 94 seconds were played, the FCK was in front. Lorian Kleinhansl had settled well on the left and his flank landed on the five -meter corner near Ragnar Ache, who turned his head to 1-0.
But that’s not all: the Regensburg defense underestimated a long ball three minutes later, which suddenly brought knights into play. The team captain of the Lauterer confidently pushed into 2-0 (49.) from 13 meters. A shock for the Jahn, who subsequently tried to find a connection again.
An undertaking that was done with 3-0 at the latest. Again it was Ache who scored: with a massive ferry in the 70th minute. That’s it: Lautern brought the victory over the rounds and thus first jumped in second place in the second division.
