FC Memmingen believes in the miracle: dramatic cup off against 1860 Munich

In the round of 16 of the Toto Cup competition, there was a dramatic duel between FC Memmingen from the Bayernliga South and third division club TSV 1860 Munich last weekend. In an exciting game that stood on the brink until the last second, the Munich team was able to prevail 2-1 (1-0) in the third minute of stoppage time through a goal by Fabian Schubert and thus solve the quarter-final ticket.

in front of the 2509 spectators, including the President of the Bavarian Football Association (BFV), Christoph Kern, the TSV 1860 was determined from the start. Despite the superiority, the danger in the offensive actions could not really convince. The lead goal fell in the 41st minute by Patrick Hobsch, who pushed the ball over the line after a flank from a short distance.

After the change of sides, however, the Memmingers showed a remarkable fighting spirit and equalized in the 82nd minute by Jakob Gräser. This goal was by no means surprising, since Memmingen appeared courageous in the second half and gave the game a turn. The last few minutes strongly indicated that the game could go into the penalty shootout, but then the crucial moment came when Schubert dramatically demanded in injury time.

BFV President Christoph Kern also commented on the exciting course of the game and congratulated both teams on their performance. "This is what we want in the Toto Cup-games on the knife cutting. Memmingen became more courageous after the break and rewarded himself with the late balance. But then sixty sets the final point and secured the quarter-finals," he said.

In another game of the round of 16, FC Ingolstadt 04, the reigning Toto Cup champion, successfully defended its title and won 3: 1 (1-0) against the Würzburg Kickers. The game took place in front of around 1000 spectators, and Tim Heike, Simon Testroet and Felix Keidel scored the goals, while Maximilian Dieter Feser scored in the final phase for the Kickers. Ingolstadt has made the leap into the round of the last eight teams again.

The previous quarter -finalists also include the regional league team FC Eintracht Bamberg, 1. FC Schweinfurt 05, Türkgücü Munich, DJK Vilzing and FV Illertissen. In particular, the DJK Vilzing impressed with a clear 3-0 victory against SC Eltersdorf, with Lukas Dotzler twice and Paul Grauschopf once hit the net for the Upper Palatinate.

In addition, there were also close games, such as the duel between the SpVgg Hankofen-Hailing and Türkgücü Munich, which ultimately ended 2-1 for the guests. Tino Reich was the match winner for the Neuperlacher with an early double pack.

The round of 16 will be rounded off on Wednesday with a cup cracker between FC Deisenhofen and the SpVgg Unterhaching. Deisenhofen, who prevailed in the previous duel against SV Wacker Burghausen, meets the third division clubs from Unterhaching, only 4.38 kilometers away as the crow flies
