A historic performance that only eight guests managed before her. Most recently, the 1999 Frank Rost and Frank Pagelsdorf succeeded. Grings, six-time top scorer in the Bundesliga, with 314 goals record shooter, also two-time European champion, is the first woman with five goals. Even Franz Beckenbauer only managed four. No one has ever managed to sink all the balls. It was Günter Netzer who scored five goals on the goal wall in 1974 for the first time.

"I was too nervous, could not handle the pressure," the coach of fifth division SV Straelen said jokingly after her last shot, which narrowly missed.

The record scorer of the Bundesliga had previously been honored as a member of the founding member of the Hall of Fame of German football in the Football Museum Dortmund.
