Lübeck – Even the days after, the referee stays in the 3. Liga at Waldhof Mannheim against the VfB Luebeck a theme. Both here and there there were serious mistakes that could have made the game run differently. Mirko Boland was a major player in a controversial scene in the Mannheimer Sixteen. The veteran fell there after the opposing defender touched his foot while running and caused the 35-year-old to stumble in a promising position. Only the 2-2 result and the will in the second round let the incident take a back seat.

Mirko Boland (midfielder VfB Lübeck): “If I’m honest, that’s what we had in mind from the start, that’s what we showed in the 2nd half. How we come back is of course strong. In the first run it is difficult to explain why it was. Maybe just that it was and is something new for many to play in the 3rd division. We weren’t quite as present as we actually wanted to be. Then you go into the break unhappily 2-0, but what we then discussed in the dressing room and what we brought onto the pitch was incredible. Well deserved point for us. The scene in the penalty area was difficult to understand. There’s no reason why I should drop nine meters free in front of the goal. Crystal clear penalty, I don’t know how you can’t see that, but luckily we were rewarded. We still have three days until Munich, until then it’s time to regenerate, travel far and take the strength from today’s performance with us to 1860.”
