Overview
- In the closing minutes at Greifswald’s Volksstadion, players passed the ball unchallenged and let the match end 1–1.
- The regional governing body NOFV called the conduct unsporting and said it violated fair‑play standards, with no penalties announced.
- Lok coach Jochen Seitz and Greifswald coach Björn Lipfert defended the approach as late‑game risk management to avoid a decisive mistake.
- The draw moved Lok ahead of Carl Zeiss Jena on goal difference and left Greifswald close to safety, with the title to be settled on the final matchday when Lok host Magdeburg II and Jena play Rot‑Weiß Erfurt.
- Clips of the finish drew heavy backlash online and on TV, with frequent comparisons to the 1982 “Gijón” match that is widely cited as a non‑aggression precedent.
