Haching is threatened with relegation: 0:3 debacle against autumn champions Dresden!

In a crucial duel in the 3rd league, SpVgg Unterhaching clearly lost 3-0 to Dynamo Dresden and now faces a major challenge in the relegation battle. The game, which began with a minute's silence for the victims of the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, took place in Unterhaching's Uhlsport Park in front of 10,925 spectators. After an early goal from Aljaz Casar in the 8th minute, Unterhaching was unable to set any significant offensive accents and instead had to withstand the pressure from Dynamo, who impressed with a strong performance kicker.de reported.

The hosts fought for a comeback, but were unable to compensate for Dresden's superiority. Important chances were missed, including by Haching's Julian Kügel, who hit the inside post in the 66th minute. In this phase of the game the spell seemed to be broken when the Dresden team built up further pressure and David Kubatta made it 2-0 with a header in the 68th minute. Stefan Kutschke finally converted a penalty in the 74th minute after Johannes Geis touched the ball with his hand in the penalty area, which sealed the home team's final loss, informed merkur.de.

At the end of the game, SpVgg Unterhaching players and coaches expressed disappointment with the performance and the 15th game without a win in a row. With only two wins and a big gap to the places where we can save, the second half of the season will be a real test. New signing Simon Skarlatidis described the year as “the most mentally demanding” as the team aim to do everything they can to gain promotion to the second division, despite the challenging situation. Dynamo Dresden, on the other hand, was able to go into the winter break as autumn champions with this clear victory and remains undisputed at the top of the table kicker.de reported.
