😳 Most thrilling match: last-minute turnaround secures the play-ins | OneFootball

Due to the evening's previous results, the duel between DNA Athletics and the Bavarian Clique was highly charged from the start. DNA urgently needed a win to advance into the Top 8. The Bavarian Clique, on the other hand, could catapult themselves into the Top 4 with a victory – thereby securing a ticket to the final in Vienna.

The match turned into a wild exchange with quick goals on both sides. In the sixth minute, Amar Cekic scored the 2:3 connection goal for DNA. This score carried into halftime.

After the break, Mergim Bajrami converted one of his three attempts at the Rulebreaker 'Triple Threat' to level the score. But the Bavarian Clique responded impressively: goals from Nicolas Yann and Christopher Bachleitner restored their two-goal lead. DNA was under immense pressure – in this scenario, they would have slipped out of the Top 8 and missed the final in Vienna, while the Clique would have moved up to 2nd place.

However, DNA did not give up. In the 18th minute, Anthony Janin narrowed the gap to 4:3. A minute before the end, DNA was still trailing – until Cekic found too much space and spectacularly drove the ball into the corner. 4:4! The celebration at DNA knew no bounds, the relief was palpable.

But DNA went one better: Raffael Kobrowski was set free on the right side, smashed the ball under the crossbar, and scored the goal that catapulted DNA from 9th to 3rd place – thus securing a spot in the Vienna final.

The late DNA comeback left The Pack as the sufferers, as they slipped to 9th place due to the last-minute goal and will not be at the final.

Due to the turnaround in the last minute, the Bavarian Clique slips to 8th place and now must win their game in the Play-Ins.
