Austrian and German lower‑league football matches end with late drama

In an Austrian regional league match, Puch built a 3‑1 lead in the first half but a red card reduced them to ten men and the game finished level at 3‑3. Captain‑coach Patrick Schober said, “From three chances we made three goals. Puch is cold as a dog’s snout,” and called the quick dismissal a scandal. Later, SAK earned a 2‑1 victory over Berndorf, while ATSV Salzburg opened their season with a dominant 5‑0 win over the newly promoted side.

In Germany, DJK Gebenbach were beaten 1‑2 by Eintracht Bamberg after a late goal, despite creating many chances throughout the match. The loss came in the final minute, leaving Gebenbach unable to secure a point.
