Erfurt wins despite double red: dramatic game against Greifswald!

An exciting afternoon of football awaited the 6,462 spectators in the Steigerwaldstadion when Rot-Weiß Erfurt played against Greifswald on Sunday. Despite numerous adversities - including being twice outnumbered - Erfurt held their nerve and won 3-2. An exciting game that shows that anything is possible in football.

The game started brilliantly for the hosts, with Obed Ugondu taking the early lead in the 4th minute. This was extended to 2-0 by half-time with a goal from Ben Luca Moritz in the 32nd minute. Everything seemed to be going well for Erfurt until luck changed. There was a landmark incident in the second half: Phillip Aboagye had to leave the field with a red card in the 56th minute after a foul and kicking. Just ten minutes later, Marco Wolf followed, who was also sent off with a yellow-red card in the 66th minute after already receiving a yellow card.
