The Sports Day: Mega goalkeeper mistake and "neck strap": Leipzig breakdown at play-offs for the 3rd division

Dhe SC Verl can hope for a promotion to the 3rd league after a curious goal in the final phase. In the play-off first leg of the regional leagues, the East Westphalia (Regionalliga West) in the Bruno Plache Stadium won 2: 2 (1: 1) at Lok Leipzig (RL Nordost) – Lok keeper Fabian Gudewitz let the ball fall into the own goal in the 88th minute and involuntarily provided for the late compensation.

Patrick Wolf (6th) had previously given the hosts a direct lead from close range. Patrick Schikowski (45. + 1) equalized shortly before the break after a quick counterattack. Matthias Steinborn (56), who came on at half-time, restored the lead for Lok with a remarkable long-range shot. Then Gudewitz's dropout followed. "Now I give him a little neck strap"Then he forgot about it until Tuesday," Steinborn said of his goalkeeper after the game. The return leg next Tuesday (4:00 p.m. / MDR) will definitely not take place in Verl. The SC club is only around 15 km away from the Tönnies slaughterhouse in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, where more than 1,500 people have been infected with the corona virus to date, alternatively the stadium is traded by Bundesliga relegated team SC Paderborn, where Verl also wants to play its third division home games if promoted.
