The city of Kiel honored the trophy heroes of Holstein Kiel with a special gesture after the sensation against triple winner Bayern Munich: The city hall was flagged with club flags on Thursday. Mayor Ulf Kämper is also hoping for a party in the city hall in the summer - after a possible promotion to the Bundesliga.
"No question about it: a lot is possible with this team - even in the league," said the SPD politician, calling the success in the penalty shootout a "football fairy tale".
Fighter warmly congratulated the storks after the "mad game".
“That was a really great achievement by Ole Werner and his team,” he said: “Players like Hauke Wahl and Johannes van den Bergh have given the term cup fight a new meaning.
Fin Bartels and Ioannis Gelios have their place in Holstein history.
And the newly crowned world goalkeeper had no chance against the precise and cool Kiel penalty shooters. "

After 120 minutes it was 2: 2 (2: 2, 1: 1).
