Chín bàn thắng ở Leipzig khi xu hướng cả hai đội cùng ghi bàn gây ra bạo loạn
Một đêm cuồng nhiệt của các trận giao hữu cấp câu lạc bộ đã tạo ra mười trận đấu mà cả hai bên đều ghi bàn, nổi bật là loạt luân lưu 5-4 cho Mladá Boleslav trên sân khách RB Leipzig.
RB Leipzig put four past Mladá Boleslav and still lost. The German side were beaten 5-4 in a club friendly that swung back and forth late into the game, the kind of result that turns a routine fixture into the standout of the day. It capped a round of matches in which both teams scored in ten separate games, and several of them had little interest in a quiet, low-scoring script.
Hannover 96 were the most ruthless of the lot, putting six past TSV Havelse in a 6-1 win that still saw the visitors get on the board. Pogoń Szczecin needed a 3-2 win over Warta Poznań to stay unbeaten in the friendly, while KAS Eupen travelled to KRC Genk and came away with a 3-1 win, the away side doing most of the damage against a Belgian top-flight opponent.
Goals at both ends, all over the map
Elsewhere the scorelines were tighter but just as shared. FC St. Gallen 1879 and FC Wil 1900 split the points in a 3-3 draw, and Real Valladolid were pegged back twice by Santa Clara in a 2-2 finish. SpVgg Greuther Fürth beat FC Würzburger Kickers 3-1, never letting the gap close beyond a single goal advantage before pulling clear.
The pattern was not confined to friendlies. In Brasileirão Serie B, Londrina edged Náutico 2-1, another case of a losing side at least finding the net before the final whistle.
Sợi dây chung
What ties the ten results together is simple: nobody kept a clean sheet. From a 6-1 rout in Hannover to a 1-3 away win for Eupen in Genk, defenses were breached in every một of these matches, with the Leipzig-Boleslav game standing as the wildest of the lot at nine goals across the hai sides.
