FC Memmingen embarrasses himself at home: 1: 3 defeat against Pipinsried!
In a memorable game on the 18th Bayern League matchday, FC Memmingen experienced its first home defeat! In front of 613 excited spectators, the team had to accept a bitter 1: 3 defeat during their second half of the first round against FC Pipinsried. The shock sits deep when the Memmingers could not keep the coveted three points in their own stadium!
Two controversial penalty in the middle of the game
Guest coach Sepp Steinberger celebrated the victory of his team as a "well-deserved success", but FCM coach Matthias Günes was anything but agreed. In the 72nd minute, his player Matthias Moser was brutally knocked over to the ball acceptance - a clear penalty, as Günes emphasized. But the referee didn't have the pipe on hand! The former dominance of FC Memmingen got out of joint when the captain Lukas Rietzler initially achieved the lead by penalty (17th minute), only to then accept the compensation by another penalty - caused by a duel in his own penalty area. The former sixties Niko Karger, who was a constant troublemaker, equalized with his goal in the 29th minute.
The minds continued to heat up when Günes could hardly believe that the referee whistled against David Spizert shortly before half -time when he had already scored the goal. Which decision -making power played a role here remains unclear!
Karger stings in a crucial phase
The turn of the game came in the 53rd minute. A harmless defensive error opened Pascal Maier a great chance of 2-1 for Memmingen, but Pipinsried's keeper Maximilan Retzer retained his team with a brilliant parade from the deficit. In return, it was a barren who scored the 2-1 for Pipinsried a few moments later - his eleventh season goal! The fate of FC Memmingen was sealed with another steep template and the 3: 1 by Götzendörfer (79th minute).
Although the Memmingers had some chances in the first half, it was FC Pipinsried who grabbed the three points and further positioned itself in the table fight. It remains exciting in the Bayernliga!
