That the players who have some catching up to do achieve a state of fitness so that we can approach the league as we imagine"said coach Tomas Oral after the defeat.

The personal concerns were great in the cup duel against Fortuna, who had three times as much ball possession as the FCI. Nevertheless, Upper Bavaria held the 0-0 for a long time before the former Ingolstadt-based Thomas Pledl made the decision with a joker goal in the 80th minute. "We did not allow much and were in good shape", said Tobias Schröck. New entry Dominik Franke said: "We fought hard for 90 minutes and can take a lot with us for the third division."

Coach Oral cited extenuating circumstances, as he missed his three most important strikers in Stefan Kutschke, Dennis Eckert Ayensa and Fatih Kaya. In addition, the Upper Bavarians denied parts of the training in the previous weeks due to corona cases in the home office.

The third division soccer club FC Ingolstadt signed an offensive player immediately before the start of the season against KFC Uerdingen. The Finnish international Ilmari Niskanen (22) is moving from second place Kuopion Palloseura from his home country to the Schanzern, as they announced on Saturday. The striker got "signed a long-term contract"as the FCI announced on Saturday without specifying the exact duration.

After Robert Jendrusch, Dominik Franke, Marc Stendera and Rico Preißinger, Niskanen is the fifth newcomer to the Ingolstadt team, who narrowly missed promotion to the 2nd division in the relegation games against 1. FC Nürnberg and want to attack again.

1. FC Nürnberg are still 90 minutes away from the happy end of a completely bad season. In the second leg of the relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga, the "Club" defend a 2-0 from the first leg against FC Ingolstadt. The Schanzer, in turn, could celebrate a splendid comeback in their own stadium – albeit empty of spectators – and plunge the FCN into the third division.

INITIAL SITUATION: The Nuremberg lead is actually comfortable, even a defeat with a goal difference is enough for the Franks. Should they score a goal themselves, the FCI would have to win by three goals difference because of the away goals rule in order to turn the duel. "We’re going to look the way forward and we want to score", announced "Club"-Coach Michael Wiesinger.

CHANCEN: Almost everything speaks for the Nuremberg team, especially since they clearly dominated the first leg. A preliminary decision had not been made, said Wiesinger and drew a comparison to tennis: "The first sentence went to us, now it’s into the second phase." That was 2-0 in the first game "a foundation, nothing more." Ingolstadts Oral, however, spoke of one "Huge advantage" for the opponent, promotion would be under these conditions "a wonder".

STAFF: While Nuremberg can play with the same players as in the first leg, Ingolstadt’s veteran Maximilian Beister cannot play because of a thigh injury, according to Oral. In addition, the use of striker Stefan Kutschke is unclear – he was already missing at 0-2 and was sorely missed. It looks bad for the FCI without his force and his goal threat.

STATISTICS: History actually speaks for the third division team, who had prevailed eight times in eleven relegations so far. Curious: In the playoff duels, third division teams have only lost the first legs twice, namely Darmstadt 2014 against Bielefeld (1: 3) and Wehen Wiesbaden 2019 against Ingolstadt (1: 2), both times at home. In the second leg, however, the outsiders twice managed to turn around and rise to the German lower house of football.

Ingolstadt’s Lord Mayor Christian Scharpf (SPD), IG Metall representative Bernhard Stiedl and Audi works council chief Peter Mosch are demanding a purchase bonus for gasoline and diesel cars too.technological essay You would have to "be associated with a guarantee of job security"said Mosch on Tuesday.

Almost all companies justify this reduction with the weak demand and order situation in the automotive industry"said Stiedl. A premium for environmentally friendly combustion engines would quickly support the leading domestic industry and reduce CO2 emissions. OB Scharpf said: "With the bonus, we want to guarantee a safe transition to a new technology."

Six years ago, his party friend Lösel was able to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot.

The Volkswagen Group wants to push the minority shareholders of the Audi subsidiary out of the company in a so-called squeeze-out procedure. On Friday, the Wolfsburg-based company sent Audi AG a formal request to sell the minority shareholders’ shares against a "adequate cash compensation" to be transferred to Volkswagen AG, as Volkswagen announced. The VW Group already owns 99.6 percent of the Audi shares. The transfer resolution is to be passed at the next ordinary general meeting of Audi.

After the restrictions caused by the new corona virus, Audi and BMW are producing again in China. Production has been running again since Monday, said a BMW spokesman on Tuesday. An Audi spokeswoman said that normal operations had been restored both in production in the joint venture and in all other business areas. Previously, the "Automobile week" reported on the resumption of operations at Audi.

Audi’s Marketing and Sales Director, Hildegard Wortmann, told the industry newspaper about business in China: "At the moment, customers are predominantly making contact with Audi online, and we are currently also focusing our sales and marketing activities on this. In the showrooms and at the dealerships, depending on the region, less happens."

Half a year ago, the Munich public prosecutor’s office charged the then Audi boss Rupert Stadler with the Diesel affair – but a process is still far from in sight: If the regional court should allow the indictment, the main hearing will not open as things stand expected before autumn, said the spokesman for the Munich Higher Regional Court, Florian Gliwitzky, on Monday on request.

After years of investigation, at the end of July 2019 the public prosecutor submitted a 400-page indictment with 7,000 pages of appendix. Stadler’s defense lawyers and the three co-accused have until the end of February to comment. After that, the public prosecutor’s office could comment, Gliwitzky explained.
