13 games, only one win, but a whopping seven points behind the relegation places: FC Ingolstadt can’t get its act together under Andre Schubert either – although the performance in Paderborn was quite good.
It could have gone differently for FC Ingolstadt after the break. Could have. The minutes after the restart in Paderborn saw the Schanzers on the offensive, but they were neither lucky nor clever.
First of all, captain Stefan Kutschke missed a penalty kick taken by Maximilian Beister (47th). It was the third time the centre-forward had failed to convert a penalty for the Donaustadt side in the 2. Liga, with four.
Hard decision on Beister’s dream goal
Ingolstadt still kept the pressure and cheered after Beister’s dream goal into the corner five minutes later. But only briefly. Kutschke was offside for Beister’s shot – the disallowance of the goal was a harsh decision against the visitors.
After that, disaster quickly took its course, as the two scenes were a wake-up call for SCP. The East Westphalians then scored two goals within nine minutes (56th, 65th) to quickly take an early decision, even though the league’s bottom team had a share in a fast and open game until the end of the match. However, Fatih Kaya’s goal (70th minute) was all that was needed to make the final score 1:2.
“Nobody can get us down that easily “
The conclusion of FCI coach Andre Schubert after the return to his old place of work put it in a nutshell: “The only thing that wasn’t right for us in this game was the result. Otherwise, we are very, very satisfied.” With five points from 13 games, the words of playmaker Marc Stendera sound like whistling in a dark forest: “Nobody can get us down that easily. Even if everyone else is already writing us off. “
After the international break, the Schanzers face Karlsruher SC at home. It’s time for the second win of the season – and for the first treble under Andre Schubert (0/1/4 in the league).
