On Sunday the 13th they did extremely well despite not having Marinovic, destroying the team that was 4th (VfR Garching) 8–1 at Garching's own ground. Couldn't be any better as it's always "good" the replacement keeper doesn't keep a clean sheet, at least for Marinovic and NZ fans. The match included a hat-trick from Stephan Hain who last season was a 1860 Munchen player in the second division; he has scored a spectacular 22 goals already this season—so let's hope he keeps it up throughout the season.
Unterhaching now have 51 points and a goal difference of +52. They continue to lead by 16 points. Although it seems like everything's in the bag already, it is important to know that the winner of Regionalliga Bayern (this division) will have to play in a promotion playoff against the winner of another Regionalliga, so promotion's not guaranteed no matter how well they continue doing until that playoff.
Marinovic's first match back, after another clean sheet (this time with the All Whites), will be away to SpVgg Greuther Fürth II (12th) on Saturday the 19th.
