🔥 Pure drama: FC OneFootball knock the Bavarian Clique out of the top 8 | OneFootball

OneFootball and the Bavarian Clique engaged in an intense duel for the top eight spots. The Icon League match gained extra excitement due to the reunion with Denis Hoxha and Nedzad Plavci.

Both faced their former club for the first time, having worn the OneFootball jersey last season.

In true top-match style, the score remained 0:0 for a long time. As early as the 4th minute, Sven Wurm received a yellow card for a foul. OneFootball played two minutes shorthanded, but the Bavarian Clique did not capitalize on this phase.

Ironically, it was Wurm himself who broke the deadlock shortly after and scored the 1:0. Soon after, the season's most dangerous goalkeeper, Andrea Hoxha (brother of Denis Hoxha), equalized. With 15 assists, he is also the league's top provider. Just seconds later, Jacob Göker restored the lead for OneFootball. He deflected a pass from Amer Dzindic over the line just in front of Hoxha. The Clique responded immediately: Hoxha scored again. After an assist from Plavci, he netted his second goal, bringing the halftime score to 2:2.

After the break, Wurm struck again. With an impressive volley, he completed his brace and put OneFootball back in the lead.

The 18th minute sparked intense frustration for the Clique. Plavci hammered the ball inside after a run, hitting it under the crossbar. The ball clearly bounced behind the line, but the referees did not award the goal. Since it was the Clique's third shot off the woodwork, they were awarded a 9-meter penalty. However, Julian Mehl made the save. Thus, the Clique remained without a goal and without the two shots off the post—a bitter scene.

Two minutes later, Anton Rinas's team was awarded a foul 9-meter penalty. Nicolas Jann converted and equalized. OneFootball's response was immediate—and spectacular. Dzindic played the ball off the boards to the left of the goal. Berkant Canbulut took it directly with his heel and scored at the near post to regain the lead.

In the last four minutes, the Bavarian Clique pushed hard for the equalizer. But they were repeatedly denied by OneFootball's defense. Marc Müller's team secured three important points with their 4:3 victory, climbing to sixth place and now just three points behind second place.

The Bavarian Clique drops out of the top 8 due to the defeat. With three matchdays remaining, the team finds itself in ninth place—but level on points with seventh and eighth place.
