Eduard Halfpap tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Joerg-Uwe Ngnoubamdjum kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. FC Lenzen's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team.

FC Lenzen played a much better game than LZS-Radstein and deserved their victory. The LZS-Radstein players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
