This game will go down in the history books! SG Oldenburg/Göhl pulled off an incredible comeback in the round of 16 of the German "Flens Cup". Despite being 7:0 down against SV Wasbek, they still emerged victorious.

Crazy scenes on Tuesday evening in Germany: Oldenburg/Göhl were 7-0 down against SV Wasbek in the round of 16 of the "Flens Cup" until the 57th minute. And then something almost unbelievable happened: The home team suddenly turned on the heat and even scored in the seventh minute of stoppage time to tie the game at 7:7.

"Had to catch our players again"
 "The jubilation was boundless. After that, we first had to catch our players again because there was still a penalty shoot-out to go," coach Jens Theuerkauf was quoted as saying by Bild. "That's absolute madness and hard to grasp. It happens from time to time that a team in Germany makes up for a 4-0 defeat. I've personally never heard of a 0:7!"
