🎥 Mascot drops trousers to distract during penalty shootout | OneFootball

He really gave his last shirt for the club of his heart. Well, or at least pulled it up. On the sidelines of a penalty shootout in the DFB-Pokal of the women, a mascot tried a creative distraction maneuver.

The Hamburg team knocked out the favored Werkself from Leverkusen yesterday. From the spot, HSV showed nerves of steel, converting all four attempts. Kristin Kögel also initially scored for B04, but then conditions became more challenging.

HSV mascot "Hermann" climbed onto the stands before Julia Mickenhagen's penalty and did his best to confuse the shooter. Even the plush dino chest was not spared.

Whether Mickenhagen's miss really had anything to do with it is doubtful. However, the final result speaks for itself.
