Strange things happen in the Ü50 league Berlin. The opponent of Hertha BSC scores on the assembly line as if through a miracle. Exactly as many that Hertha’s big city rival descends from 1. FC Union. Is everything going with right things? The trouble is big, the trainer takes a position.
The last game days often have it all. It is about championships, descents and rescues at the last second. So also in the Ü50 association league Berlin, in which seven against seven players fight for points over 60 minutes. Also the old gentlemen of Hertha BSC and Union Berlin. One had a large part with a mysterious Tor Festival that the other descended.
While Hertha was nothing more for Hertha on the last match day, Union fought for relegation. The Köpenickers did their homework and won their last season 4: 1 at Berolina Mitte. With the victory, Union jumped with 33 points and a goal difference of 73:70 to the first non -relegation place.
The relegation seemed almost safe, because the direct competitor SD Croatia needed a win with at least six goals against the second place in the table Hertha BSC. The game was kicked off immediately after Union, so the starting point was clear.
It didn’t go well for Croatia at all. At the break it was 3: 3 before Hertha pulled away to 6: 4. Now only a football miracle helped. And it actually arrived in a strange way. Croatia scored eight goals in the last 15 minutes, won 12: 6 and can also play in the association league in the coming season. Hertha’s Great Rival Union has to go to the Landesliga.
Hertha conceded four goals in six minutes
Croatia turned the game between the 47th and 54th minute with four fast goals and led 8: 4 suddenly. And that against Herthan, who had made the second best defensive in the league with only 38 goals in 25 games. Four hits for rescue were still missing. But these also fell: In the 57th minute, Darko Misir increased to 9: 6, Sasa Milojevic scored the tenth goal in the 60th minute. In added time, Stipo Vrdoljak became a hero with a double pack.
Croatia jumped to the saving tenth place with 33 points and a goal difference of 83:80, Union Berlin slipped on the relegation rank eleven due to Hertha’s clear defeat.
Did everything really go with right things? Yes, says Jürgen Marquardt. Hertha’s 62 -year -old trainer, who had to step in as a player this time due to lack of staff, is destroyed by the game. “Of course, the result sounds strange. But of course that was no intention! Why should we only lead 6: 4 in the end to collect all goals every minute?” Says Marquardt: “We broke in at the end, did not make the huge chances in the front and then did not run back. The opponent ran everything, played with flying goalkeeper. The goals fell like ripe fruit.”
Then Marquardt apologizes: “I am very sorry. I can understand the trouble of Union completely, I would also like the matter to go out differently. This result is shameful. That was the worst game of my player and coaching career. I have never conceded twelve goals.
How is Union really angry? On the world request, the Köpenickers only said that they deal with the topic and will decide on the next steps at short notice.
In any case, Marquardt also makes it clear: “An observer was specially parked by the association, another was in the game Berolina against Union. So that no suspicion of cheating can arise. We unfortunately played chaos football at the end. But we were also extremely substantiated on this match day after the game was only pre-lived on Monday to Friday evening. have to listen to. “
