Since the guests had invested more in the first round, the narrow lead to the break was a bit happy. In the second section, the storks, however, earned the home win. In the 81st minute, the decision fell through the 2-0 header. Man of the day was borrowed by Borussia Mönchengladbach midfield technician Laszlo Benes, who prepared both hits. With the victory Kiel climbed to fourth place. With 38 goals Holstein has the third best offensive in the league. At home, Walter Walter’s men took 19 points in ten games. This makes Kiel the fourth best home team in the second Bundesliga.
Since the rise of the KSV had to accept only three home defeats so far: Two in the 2017/18 season and this season one against Arminia Bielefeld. The change in Kiel has succeeded. The storks have coped with the change of successful coach Markus Anfang as well as the departure of regular players like Rafael Czichos, Dominick Drexler and Marvin Ducksch. Ingolstadt’s Hauke Wahl, Jonas Meffert of SC Freiburg and Korean World Cup participant Jae-Sung Lee made a sensible effort to strengthen the squad. With an average age of 23.5 years, the team has the second youngest squad in the league and thus a great future ahead of them. Trunk central defender Hauke Wahl, who was forced to take a break from Regensburg for a yellow card suspension, should return to the starting eleven in the cup. Kinsombi, Lee and Seydel are missing injured.
Augsburg:
The past few days had been quite turbulent in Augsburg. Martin Hinteregger had criticized the coach after the 0-2 draw against Gladbach on the final day and was then dismissed by the club. Also the Brazilian Caiuby was released with immediate effect, after he had previously missed out on private reasons, the entire winter preparation. In addition, the former national goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was hired as the new assistant coach. The ex-professional should contribute his experience and winning mentality. After the negative series of ten matches in a row without a win, the pressure in Augsburg was clearly felt. The Augsburg showed an impressive response to the turbulence and went against Mainz from the beginning with a big will into the game. The hosts were courageous, active, present, handy and strong. With much aggression the team of coach Manuel Baum played continuously forward. In the game against the ball Moravek moved forward again and forced the Mainz to long balls.
In addition, the switching game worked and the Fugger city had with the triple scorer Alfred Finnbogason the man of the day in their ranks. Even on the defensive of FC Augsburg did not allow many chances of the zero fighters. Although two goals resulted from penalties, the FCA won in the end earned in the height 3-0. The win against Rheinhessen was only the second home win of the season. In addition, the Baum team played for the first time since the 8th game day back to zero. The new assistant coach Lehmann had probably taken care of the defensive during the week. After the victory, coach Baum and sports director Reuter confirmed that Lehmann’s contribution to his experience and expertise and that he had contributed well and given impulses. But a “Lehmann effect” did not want to overvalue all those involved. Augsburg has three points ahead of the relegation place. According to their own statements, the players are now hot for the cup and want to take the momentum out of the league. There has been a rethink, the players now have a completely different confidence. Coach Baum in Kiel has to give up Jeffrey Gouweleeuw and Raphael Framberger.
