Max Reinthaler On Friday evening, 1860 Munich secured their fifth consecutive victory. The 30-year-old from Algund is the central figure in the back three and has been a regular starter there for months. With Reinthaler as their defensive leader, the Lions have stabilized and can now even dream of promotion. Currently sixth in the 3. Liga, 1860 is aiming for promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. The former Bundesliga club is only three points away from the relegation playoff spot.

In their 1-0 away win against Viktoria Köln, Reinthaler and his teammates left nothing to chance at the back. The winning goal was scored by former German international Kevin Volland, who returned to his boyhood club last summer. Simon Straud (he played as a right-back) did not get more than a 0-0 draw against Hansa Rostock with second-placed Energie Cottbus. Luke Mazagg (he also played the full match) lost 2:3 with the relegation-threatened SSV Ulm at Schweinfurt.
