Drama in the cup: Neubrandenburg fails at the last second!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - A dramatic cup game ended in a bitter exit for the 1. FC Neubrandenburg! In the last second they had the chance to avert the impending end, but Christoph Fischer shone the decisive penalty in the fourth minute of stoppage time. With a final score of 1: 2 against the favorite FC Mecklenburg Schwerin, the Neubrandenburgers now have to go home. The Neu.SW Stadium was witness to a gripping duel that captivated the audience until the last minute.

The game started promising for the FCN, as a player coach Daniel Nawotke in the 16th minute converted a penalty and brought his team into the lead. But the joy did not last long: Just six minutes later, Bashir Schultz equalized for the Schwerin. In the second half, Kanta Seki brought the guests 2-1 in the 54th minute, and despite several chances, including a header from Dennis Kühl, the Neubrandenburgers failed to equalize. The disappointment was great when the final whistle sounded.

missed opportunities and passionate commitment

"We had some very good chances and, in my opinion, had to be awarded one or two more penalty," said Nawotke after the game. Despite the departure, the performance of his team was better than at the last meeting in the league when they lost 0: 5 against the Schwerin. "I can't blame my team. She gave everything and showed a lot of passion," continued Nawotke. But the missed opportunities and the shot penalty remained painful memories of an exciting but ultimately unfortunate cup game.
