The penultimate matchday of the Icon League saw intense competition, particularly between DNA and OneFootball. Despite leading 8:5 with two minutes left, DNA suffered a dramatic collapse.
😤 DNA and the Eagles brought down: Icon League's penultimate matchday
The penultimate matchday of the Icon League has been played, and the race for the Play-In spots remains incredibly exciting. It is still completely open which teams will ultimately make it into the top 8.
Particularly explosive was the clash between DNA and OneFootball. Both teams were under enormous pressure after a poor start to the season. For a long time, it looked as though DNA would secure an important win: with just two minutes left, they were still leading 8:5.
But then came a complete collapse.
In a very short space of time, DNA conceded four goals and completely lost control of the match. OneFootball turned the game around in spectacular fashion and secured an immensely important victory. "I've never seen Willy this angry before," Elias Nerlich said after the match, referring to DNA's visibly frustrated team head.
Even so, the situation remains difficult for both teams: on the final matchday, they will need other results to go their way, but they still have a chance of reaching the Play-Ins.

At the top of the table, however, an important decision has already been made. In the top clash between Two Stripes United and Berlin City, Berlin City made a major statement and won convincingly 6:2. That means they have already secured their ticket to the final.
There was also a surprise involving Fokus Eagles. The already confirmed league leaders, who had previously won all nine of their matches, suffered their first defeat of the season on the penultimate matchday. They lost to the Players and showed unusual weaknesses in the process. Possibly a sign that after the perfect run, they were lacking a bit of edge — or exactly the wake-up call they needed before the decisive matches.
That keeps the Icon League highly exciting. The final decisions will be made on the last matchday.
Here is an overview of the remaining results:
The Pack FC – Eintracht Spandau 7:6
DNA Athletics – FC OneFootball 8:9
Two Stripes United – FC Berlin City 2:6
Wontorriors FC – Buzz Club 13:7
Plyrs United – Fokus Eagles 5:3
SC Bürgeramt – Berlin Underdogs 8:6
