Pentz' penalty hero moment and the tumult of celebration in Copenhagen!

Patrick Pentz, the goalkeeper of the Austrian national team, shone in an exciting derby with his team Bröndby, who celebrated a hard-fought 2-1 win against their rivals FC Copenhagen. In the decisive phase of the game, Pentz saved a penalty in stoppage time and thus secured the title of hero of the game. But his celebration in front of the opposing fans led to tumultuous scenes on the field and ended with a yellow-red card for him oe24.at reported.

Although Pentz apologized to his teammates and the coaching staff, he avoided apologizing to opposing fans. The win saw Bröndby climb to third place in the Superliga, just five points behind league leaders FC Copenhagen.

Bröndby and the championship ambitions

The Bröndby team is currently in an intense race for the championship title in the Danish league. The team only lost two points in the last five games and is therefore well in the race. Bröndby, which is in third place in the league with a total market value of 22.48 million euros, also has a large fan base that is passionately behind the team, like courier.at determines.

Pentz, who loves his cycling in Copenhagen, is enjoying life in the Danish capital. He emphasizes that cyclists have priority there and draws a positive comparison to his hometown of Vienna. The goalkeeper sees the Danish summer as pleasant, but is warned about the dreary winters.

Outlook for the EURO and personal goals

Pentz is determined to recommend himself for the Austrian national team. After not being considered for the 2021 European Championships, despite having good goalkeeping stats, he aims to not just be seen as number 2 in the squad. He stated that he felt well prepared for the challenges of the EURO. A possible championship could also result in his return to Bayer Leverkusen, although there is speculation about a purchase option for Bröndby. Pentz, however, does not comment specifically on this, but leaves open the possibility of extending his stay in Copenhagen.

The next period will be crucial for Pentz and Bröndby, not only in terms of the championship, but also in terms of his individual career and the possibility of securing his place in the national team.
