A pulsating encounter in the German Bundesliga 5 saw Pforzheim and Goppinger SV share the spoils in a 2-2 thriller at the Stadion im Brötzinger Tal. The home side twice led through a first-half strike and a second-half penalty, only to be pegged back each time by a resilient Goppinger side.

First Half: Fast Start

Pforzheim took the lead in the 12th minute when a sweeping move down the left flank culminated in a low cross that was turned in at the near post. Goppinger SV responded well and equalised just before the half-hour mark: a corner was headed goalwards and deflected in off a Pforzheim defender.

The hosts regained the lead in the 58th minute after a handball in the box was penalised. The spot-kick was calmly slotted into the bottom corner. However, Goppinger SV showed great character and levelled once more in the 79th minute when a speculative strike from 25 yards took a wicked deflection and looped over the stranded goalkeeper.
