At first, though, everything pointed to a clear-cut affair. Two Stripes United made a disastrous start and was already trailing 2:7 at halftime. Bürgeramt looked dominant, took its chances ruthlessly, and seemingly already had a place in the final within reach.

But then one of the craziest comebacks in Icon League history began.

Two Stripes fought its way back goal by goal and completely turned up the heat. They somehow clawed their way from 3:10 down to 10:10. An insane comeback that turned the entire game on its head.

No more goals were scored in the final two minutes of regular time. Overtime. Golden goal. Maximum tension – the next goal would decide who advanced to the final.

Things got wild right from the first minute of four-on-four. Shots off the post at both ends, and the winner was hanging in the balance several times. With every minute, it got tighter, because under the rules, one player had to leave the pitch each time.

The decision finally came in two-on-two: Krasniqi and Halstenberg were involved in the decisive moment for SC Bürgeramt. Halstenberg fired a low left-footed shot, and although Alex Taach got a touch on it, he could no longer keep it out.

That means SC Bürgeramt is through to the Icon League final. Despite an unbelievable comeback, Two Stripes United misses out on the reward and is eliminated after one of the wildest games of the season.
