In 2020, Viktoria 89 lost the Berlin Cup final against Altglienicke 0:6. Now there was revenge.
Lukas Pinckert (90./+1) and Soufian Benyamina (90./+7) make it 2-1 in a hectic finale. Altglienicke had led through Tugay Uzan (40th) for a long time.
It’s a drama win!
After a controversial yellow-red card for Tim Häußler (90th), Viktoria got serious. Viktoria is lucky that captain Christoph Menz is not sent off after assaulting goalkeeper Leon Bätge.
Viktoria trainer Farat Toku was showered with beer and water by his professionals at the press conference. After relegation from the 3rd division, he still stops. Toku: “I have decided not to be a coach at Viktoria next year.”
