Spectacular penalty and Eintracht victory: Lower Saxony derby enthusiastic!

In the 2nd Bundesliga, there was a curious incident on the last match day that could go into the history books. During the game between the 1st FC Magdeburg and Greuther Fürth, the ball came to the center twice in an exceptional way. In the first half, a strange penalty caused laughter and lack of understanding among the audience.

Mohamed El Hankouri opened the goal for Magdeburg with a strange goal in the 15th minute. The situation arose when Fürth's goalkeeper Nahuel Noll did not go into action directly after a flank was intercepted. Instead, it took his time to continue the game, which ultimately led to a misunderstanding. When Noll passed to Gideon Jung, he took the ball into his hand, which caused the referee to decide on handball and penalty. At first El Hankouri missed, but was able to score the lead shortly afterwards.

a second penalty and further turbulence

What felt like a one -time incident was repeated in a similar form a little later. Daniel Heber, a Magdeburg player, also took the ball into his hand in the 42nd minute, assuming that the game was over because of a foul. Here, too, referee Bastian Dankert decided on penalty, which led in addition to confusion and excitement among the players and fans. Julian Green converted the penalty for Fürth, which put the game on a tie.

FC Magdeburg ultimately could not build up in the course of the game, because in the 75th minute Noel Futkeu ensured that Fürth took the lead and thus left the game with a point win. Despite the two strange penalty, Fürth remains in tenth place after this encounter, without a victory in the last four games.

But that wasn't the only exciting match of the weekend. In the duel between Hamburger SV and Fortuna Düsseldorf, the Hamburger SV impressively demonstrated its will to find access to the top in the table. After a strong first half, the team of coach Steffen Baumgart prevailed with a clear 3: 0 and thus ended the series defeats of the Düsseldorf.

Jean-Luc Dompe scored the first goal in the 8th minute, followed by Robert Glatzel, who converted another penalty in the final phase after Fortuna indulged in the game by handball. With this victory, the Hamburger SV reduced the gap to the league leader to two points and thus again caused excitement in the title race.

Another exciting encounter was the "Lower Saxony Sendersby" between Eintracht Braunschweig and Hannover 96. Braunschweig fought with all the might and prevailed 2-0. Fabio Kaufmann put his team in the lead before Rayan Philippe marked the final score in added time through a penalty. The victory was immensely important for Braunschweig because it freed it from the relegation zone. The encounter was secured by a strong police force because it was considered a high risk game, but the atmosphere remained mostly calm.

The matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga was therefore characterized by special moments that not only provided entertainment, but also demonstrated the incredible twists and dramatics in football. Further information on these exciting encounters can be at lomazoma.com
