65,000 fans in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, many millions of spectators in the USA and worldwide: Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas is keeping the sports world in suspense this Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs: One of the most successful teams in the history of the National Football League (NFL) against the superior team of recent years.
Will the Californians win their first championship in 30 years? The “Niners” last won in 1994 and had their heyday especially in the 1980s around quarterback legend Joe Montana and wide receiver Jerry Rice, winning the title four times. The Chiefs, on the other hand, are currently having a great moment; star coach Andy Reid’s team has been in the final four times in the last five years, and quarterback Grande Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City to two championships.

San Francisco 49ers – Kansas City Chiefs 10:6
3rd quarter, 5:01 – Kansas City shortened! And that with the next record: Harrison Butker converted a field goal from 57 yards. The Chiefs had previously finished at the 39-yard line.
3rd quarter, 6:40 – This is exactly what the Chiefs need! Mahomes sets an example: He doesn’t find anyone to take a pass and starts a run himself. And can only be stopped after 22 yards, thus getting a new first down.
3rd quarter, 9:10 – Unbelievable: The 49ers have to worry about the next top performer: Wide receiver Deebo Samuel suddenly grabs his left thigh while running and sinks to the ground. He is being treated, but it is still unclear what will happen next for him. Meanwhile, Kansas City has the ball again.
3rd quarter, 10:49 – No, Kansas City’s attack was once again unsuccessful. It continues to go back and forth quickly.
3rd quarter, 12:31 – But the Californians cannot benefit from Mahomes’ mistake. The attack ends with a punt from Mitch Wishnovsky. Purdy had previously repeatedly had problems finding a pass taker.
3rd quarter, 13:38 – Horror start for Kansas City and Mahomes! The star quarterback throws an interception. In the shotgun he wants to play on Marquez Valdes-Scantling – but Ji’Ayir Brown intercepts the pass. The Chiefs’ attack is over immediately. And San Francisco has possession of the ball.
2nd quarter, 0:20 – The first points for Kansas City. But: The favorite really has to fight, San Francisco is making it really difficult for Mahomes. First he is sacked by San Francisco’s Arik Armstead at the 10-yard line, but then Harrison Butker converts the field goal. And that’s how it goes into halftime. Usher will now appear in the highly anticipated show.
2nd quarter, 4:23 – Touchdown! The San Francisco 49ers extend their lead. And with a clever move: a double pass! Purdy plays across to Jauan Jennings, who finds McCaffrey, who is completely unnoticed on his side – and he runs unhindered for 21 yards into the end zone! They caught the Chiefs off guard. Moody raises with the extra point.
