? THE SLOW START (0–25')
Lads... what were we doing? The Brits helped themselves to two goals while we were still warming up?
? 11' – 1:0 (we were... somewhere else)
? 20' – 2:0 (still not awake apparently, but fantastic shot)
? 25' – WATER BREAK (thank God)
Somebody poured the water on our heads because we came back a completely different team ?

? THE COMEBACK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
? 28' – 2:1 SEB KENDRICK ⚡
First touch. FIRST TOUCH. The man hadn't even broken a sweat yet and already scored. Johannes (Oliver) Gassner with a nice assist ?
? 56' – 2:2 MARKUS "ALU" ALMEROTH ?
Penalty! Won by Bryan after an amazing run + Christopher keeping the ball alive on the line ?
Then Markus stepped up.
The crossbar literally helped him score. MARKUS. ALU. ALMEROTH. The nickname writes itself.
(Rumour has it he and Seb "The Iceman" Kirsch had a private penalty training session beforehand ? Clearly paid off... sort of ?)
? 62' – 3:2 British Club ?
Two passes. TWO PASSES. We switched off for five seconds and their striker was already celebrating. Painful.

? TACTICAL MASTERCLASS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Coach said: not today. Switched from 4 to 3 at the back and told us to go get it. ?

⚡ THE MOMENT OF THE MATCH (85')
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
? 85' – 3:3 JOHANNES GASSNER ?
Ball was gone. Everyone had given up. Everyone except Danny, who somehow kept it alive against all odds ?
Dribble. Shot. POST. ?
And there was Johannes. Cool as always. Slamming home the rebound like he does it every day.
Because he does. ?
