In a low-scoring but intense match, the score was 2:2 after regular time – so it went into overtime. There, the first goal decides the game, and every minute a player has to leave the field. In the first minute, neither team managed to score the golden goal, so it came down to a one-on-one.

There, Giardini and Ben-Hatira faced each other – Giardini with the ball. The dribbling artist was stopped by a foul just outside the penalty area, which in overtime always means the fouled player gets to go one-on-one against the goalkeeper.

So Giardini went up against Reck with no defender, but Reck made a brilliant save. Both teams then switched players, and Grünberg took responsibility for the Plyrs. He dribbled forward, danced past his opponent, and finished under the crossbar.

The celebration among the Plyrs was huge – they now have the chance to win the cup and the prize money in the final. Their opponent is still being determined: either Bürgeramt or Berlin City.
