Lauth Double Extends Lions Unbeaten Run
Allianz Arena, Munich - TSV 1860 took a huge step towards reeling in the leading five teams in the second divison Bundesliga last night with a well deserved 2-0 win over FC Energie Cottbus.
Captain Benny Lauth was the man on hand to bag himself a brace, opening the scoring with a leaping header in the 35th minute and then finishing off a solid performance in the 90th with an unstoppable shot from inside the penalty area. Those goals bring his tally to 8 for the season.
Despite missing an abundance of excellent chances to extend their early lead, 'Sechzig' were unable to capitalise on some questionable defending. Usually a reliable striker of the ball, Kevin Volland was guilty of the worst miss of the match when he was played in by Stefan Aigner with a low cross from the...
