The 3rd league is also holding its breath for a moment and, like the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga, is in the international break. And yet there is interesting news to report.
Bitter verdict for Marc Unterberger, the coach of the Unterhaching game association. The 35-year-old was shown a red card on September 27th after a zero against SV Sandhausen.
Now it is clear: the aspiring football teacher was fined 3,000 euros and banned from watching three games. Since he has already sat out one game – in Verl – he only has to watch twice.
Unterberger will miss the derby against 1860 Munich (October 20) and the duel against Alemannia Aachen (October 23). He can then be on the sidelines again against Viktoria Cologne (October 26th).
After the red card, he told “Magenta Sport”: “I have to take a look at myself. You can’t criticize the referee on Tuesday in Rostock and then get a yellow card and then a red card – justified or unjustified doesn’t matter . It shouldn’t happen to you, I’m sorry for the derailments.”
Not only Coach Unterberger was punished, but also three clubs. The sports court of the German Football Association (DFB) has asked Dynamo Dresden, SpVgg Unterhaching, Erzgebirge Aue and 1860 Munich to pay due to misconduct by their fans. Dresden has to transfer 35,250 euros, Aue 10,850 and Unterhaching 3,100 euros to the DFB’s Frankfurt bank account.
Two injured at FC Ingolstadt
Meanwhile, FC Ingolstadt has to cope with two painful pieces of news at the start of the international break: Ryan Malone sustained a knee injury in a challenge in stoppage time against Alemannia Aachen and had to leave the field.
The central defender, who already has six assists this season, will undergo surgery in the next few days and will therefore be absent from FCI for the long term. Attacker Tim Heike will also not be available to the Black and Reds in the coming weeks. The 24-year-old striker, who came from Energie Cottbus in the summer, is currently out with a calf injury.
