It was clear to everyone involved that after the penalty shootout a week ago, it was going to be another exciting match.

Weißenfels’ players were rarely able to bring their excellent game technically and tactically onto the field. The people of Holzbuttger put a lot of spirit, speed and physical commitment into it.
However, it was always the hosts at Stadtparkhalle Weißenfels who supposedly were closest to victory, who repeatedly took the lead (Philip Weigt (10), Max Planck (29) and Tommy Takala (53)). But the people of Holzbottger, with their irrepressible will, always found an answer. Janus Brucker equalized the first goal with a dismissal from his brother Niklas (10 min), who fought at the beginning of the third half through the Weissenfels defense alone and poked the ball into the net (44), Turbine Kleinhans allowed himself to go at the end of the regulatory time and then managed by Janus Brucker, sinking into the goal From a middle distance, he entered his team in overtime.
Between then, goalkeeper Jan Surber repeatedly stuck his fingers in the match and stopped the Weißenfelsers’ dangerous attacks so they couldn’t close the sack too soon.
With 3:3 he went into overtime and it looked a lot like a penalty shootout again, until a minute before the end Jannick Heinen grabbed a heart, Moritz Neustadt poised and searched the way forward and in front of the opponent’s goal a double pass. Combined with Janus Brucker, who was as strong as a bear, he played again today, for the sure turnaround to win and finally the German Championship.

After the match, Yannick Heinen revealed his opinion on the near final: “I think it’s fun for the fans to see a final like this. It’s also a great feeling as a player: Weißenfels went up three times, we came back three times and then to win a match like this and get the German title.” That’s more important. For us, too.”

We knew our game plan, we knew what we had to do and we also knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Absolutely. In the regular season finals, the team was able to follow the game plan and every player took responsibility. We showed throughout the season that we were good at coming back and didn’t lose extra time this season. That gave us confidence. The confidence in the plan was there, the team followed it and it rewarded for that. “.
