Eight goals in the top game – Nuremberg and Wolfsburg deliver a dramatic spectacle

1. FC Nürnberg missed out on making it to the top of the table in a wild top game in the second division. The Franconians drew 4:4 (0:2) from VfL Wolfsburg - after a 0:2 deficit and then two leads to 3:2 and 4:3. Three goals in stoppage time were the culmination of a memorable football evening in which Nuremberg failed to overtake leaders Hertha BSC.

In the Max Morlock Stadium, coach Miroslav Klose's team turned the match around within just eleven minutes after the break: Piet Scobel with a brace in the 52nd and 59th minutes and Mohamed Ali Zoma in the 63rd minute turned the game on its head. Lower Saxony had led thanks to goals from Hauke ​​Wahl (12th) and Muhammed Damar (29th).

The injury time then became a real drama. First Alessio Besio equalized for VfL (90.+1), then Giannis Masouras seemed to ensure Nuremberg's happy ending (90.+6). But Besio again set the final point (90th + 9th).

“Fantastic game,” says Klose

Wolfsburg had previously shown an outstanding first half and could have led significantly more than 2-0. Captain Wahl scored early with a shot following a corner. Damar curled the ball into the corner from a distance. Yannick Gerhardt lacked such accuracy and failed twice while completely unmarked in front of the goal.

This was initially the guests' downfall: Scobel shortened the score with a powerful shot and revived the "club". The striker followed up shortly afterwards. The stadium was roaring. And again it only took a few minutes for Zoma to score the third goal. The “club” could have made everything clear later. But that failed – and so this memorable evening game ended in a draw. Klose's conclusion: "It was a fantastic game for the spectators, but not so much for us coaches and our nerves."
