In der 35. Minute kann der Norden ausgleichen. Mit 1:1 geht es in die Pause.
Nach dem Wiederanpfiff abermals ständige Angriffe der Süddeutschen. Noch immer ist das Spiel beider Mannschaften ohne rechten Zusammenhang.
Tor für Süddeutschland. Es steht 2:1.
Die Entscheidungen des Schiedsrichters werden immer unsicherer.
Hier das umstrittene Abseits-Tor für Norddeutschland.
Doch alle Reklamationen bleiben erfolglos. Des Stadion verwandelt sich in einen Hexenkessel. Die Süddeutschen sind immer wieder im gegnerischen Strafraum. Ein norddeutscher Spieler faustet den Ball aus dem Tor.
Elfmeter. Aber der Bill geht ins Aus.
2:2 endete diese dritte Begegnung nach der Kriege zwischen Nord-und Süddeutschland. Der Schlusspfiff ging im Tumult der 35,000 Zuschauer unter. Nur mit Polizeischutz konnte der Schiedsrichter den Platz verlassen.
