The Sportschau-Schauer chose: Jorrit Hendrix from Prussia Münster is the scorer of May 2025. His chopping goal gets over 40 percent of the vote.
The goal of the month is richer. Hendrix ‘hit is “only” another goal with the hoe. There have been some of them, especially in recent years. And they were all spectacular in their own way, but many were very similar. Hendrix ‘”impossible” thing with the hoe stands out, like the handstand hacker by Karsten Kammlott in August 2015, the incredibly cool volley hack gate by Nico Perreys in August 2017 or the Scorpion-Kick from Valention Lazaro in November 2020.
What makes Hendrix ‘Hackentor so special is difficult to explain at first. The pass from Etienne Amenyido is so worth seeing that you have to look at it several times to understand how exactly he kicks the ball out of the ankle and 20 meters through all opponents.
Three actually and a fabulous
Hendrix crosses the penalty area with full throttle from the right, takes the ball with them and first runs past the goal to the left, but lets Hertha’s goalkeeper Dennis Schmarch go into emptiness. Hendrix is actually too far out, the angle is actually too pointed, and a Herthan is on the short post and blocks the way.
But we would not be at the goal of the month if all of this could prevent a great goal. And so the ball finds its way into the net because the Dutch chips it over all obstacles with the hoe.
Almost 70,000 votes for Hendrix
The football fans in Germany also saw this: almost 172,000 took part, over 40 percent voted for Jorrit Hendrix’s goal. In second and third place, Janis Anti-Stese’s fabulous header falling back combination and Manoli’s Saliacas’ beautiful Schlenzer.
Beautiful, important, historical
And then the goal of the month of May 2025 is not only particularly beautiful, but also particularly important, because Hendrix scores another goal this afternoon and thus provides three important points in the relegation battle. At the end of the season it is also these points that make sure that Prussia can look forward to staying in the league.
And in addition to particularly beautiful and particularly important, the hit is something: it is historical. Because it is hard to believe, but in the over 50 years of history of this competition, it has never been a player from the ranks of Prussia Münster, this traditional club, which is one of the founding members of the Bundesliga, managed to score a goal of the month.
The 45th Hackentor at the goal of the month
While hacking gates were rarely awarded in the first few years at the goal of the month, they have been more often since the 2010s. To date, the Golden Medal of Sports Show have received a total of 45 hackers from Hendrix.
