🔥 Overtime thriller: B2B United edge Two Stripes by a whisker | OneFootball

B2B United had to face Two Stripes United today on the fifth matchday. During last week's double matchday, Benjamin Henrichs' team conceded nine goals twice and dropped significantly in the standings. Today was supposed to be better.

Two Stripes United, on the other hand, started the season strong, winning the first three games and only suffering a narrow defeat recently.

The match began evenly, but neither team really got going. B2B was still trailing 3:2, prompting team head Benni Henrichs to speak plainly at halftime: it had to be about fight and determination. In the second half, Hamza Salman secured the 3:3 equalizer.

In the 21st minute, Björn Kluft put Two Stripes ahead again – thanks to activated Hero Balls, his goal even counted double, leaving B2B chasing a two-goal deficit. It initially looked bleak, but then Noah Thompson took center stage. In the 23rd minute, he scored a double and saved B2B into overtime.

There, Thompson continued to show his class. He set up the winning goal for Nick Hirschfeld, who rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball through Sinani's legs for the Golden Goal.

B2B celebrates a hard-fought victory, which is meant to give the team new momentum after last week's thrashings. With this success, they start the double matchday much better and aim to build on their performance tomorrow.
