He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Rot-Weiss-Essen reached it. Stamatis Zindros hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match.

When Süruri Şanalp came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the GREEK ARMY fans jumped to their feet.

Uwe Ziege took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bon Culot, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Rot-Weiss-Essen's Uwe Ziege played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Süruri Şanalp in the 91st minute of play.
