Draßburg saves the point with a late equalizer in the last minute
In an exciting duel in the Burgenland League, the home team from Draßburg managed a draw against UFC Jennersdorf in the last second. The match ended 1-1 after Patrick Mijatovic scored the important equalizer in the 96th minute. It initially looked like a defeat for Draßburg after Michael Wagner took the lead for the guests in the first half.
The encounter started intensely, with Draßburg having a few chances right from the start. Patrick Mijatovic volleyed in from a free kick but couldn't hit the goal. Michael Wagner, on the other hand, was more accurate and put Jennerdorf in the lead with a nice goal just before halftime. This moment was crucial as it noticeably influenced the mood of the game.
Exciting final phase
After the break, Draßburg pushed harder in an attempt to make up for the deficit. Coach Michael Schmidt put everything on one card by breaking up his defensive line-up in the final phase and bringing in an additional striker. But despite the aggressive game, the home team had difficulty overcoming Jennersdorf's defense.
When the clock finally showed the 96th minute, 15-year-old Uros Mladenovic brought a breath of fresh air to the offensive. Mladenovic, who was considered a youngster, made the decisive play and passed precisely to Mijatovic, who sank the ball into the goal. This late equalizer not only gave the team a point but also a bit of luck back after they had experienced similar situations in recent games where they conceded late goals.
After the game, opinions were divided: While Draßburg's coach Schmidt saw the point as justified, Jennersdorf's sporting director Martin Sitzwohl was annoyed about the late goal. "The stoppage time had actually already expired and then we got the goal. We deserved the three points," he explained disappointedly.
For Draßburg, this point gain remains of great value, especially after the recent setbacks. Now they have to hope that their fighting spirit pays off in future games. You can find out more about the details of this exciting encounter read here at www.bvz.at.
