To brutally watch for neutral viewers”said Demirovic in the sports show and praised the second division: “Eintracht made an outstanding game.”

But the Eintracht was suddenly torn out of the dreams: Leweling prevailed on the left and played from the goal line inwards, where Nick Woltemade met the ball in the replenishment and the extension forced (89.).

Extension: Braunschweig comes back again

The teams did not come down in the extension either: Stuttgart’s Tiago Tomas played the ball inwards from the right, Sanoussy Ba unhappily pushed the ball into their own goal (92nd).

Braunschweig did not let up: Lukas Frenkert came to a header, but failed on the latte (99.). Christian Conteh then cheered Braunwieg a fourth time: Marie alluded him on in the penalty area, he turned at lightning speed and surprised Nübel with a massive shot (105.).

Braunschweig almost achieved the 5: 4, but only contained Conteh on Nübel (105.+3), a shot from Gomez was blocked (105.+4).

20 penalty is needed for the decision
