controversial decisions and drama on the square

The first half started with a bang: Rietzler put the Memmingen in the lead with 1-0 thanks to a penalty in the 17th minute. But this joy lasted briefly! Just twelve minutes later, Pipinsrieder Fabian Benko himself turned a penalty to 1-1. However, it did not stay back and forth: in the second half everything seemed to be going well until the referee Julian Leykamm caused outrage when he did not give a clear penalty for Memmingen. Mario Götzendörfer fouled substitute Matthias Moser, but Leykamm decided on a kick - a decision that caused great confusion and lack of understanding.

Despite the bravely commitment of all Memmingers who believed in their strengths after the equalization, Pipinsried took advantage of the opportunities. Niko Karger scored the lead in the 53rd minute after a misunderstanding in the Memmingen midfield had invited to an offensive game. The final point was then set with the third goal in the 79th minute by the also striking idol. The Memmingers stayed in second place in the table, but this defeat clearly left its mark!
