Locomotive Leipzig: 135-second heroes home in the cold bus

In January, FC Lok steams into a week’s training camp. The destination is the Turkish side. 17 sponsors spontaneously applied yesterday to accompany the seminar trip offered by the club (with presentations by the coach and captain).

It was probably mainly due to the craziest 135 seconds that FC Lok has ever experienced. “Football sometimes lasts longer than 90 minutes,” grinned coach Almedin Civa (50) with satisfaction. “You’re more than willing to accept the return journey in a cold bus.” A roof hatch no longer closed properly.

2:1 at Berlin AK. In stoppage time. After two previous league bankruptcies. Farid Abderrahmane scored from the penalty spot and a good two minutes later Mike Eglseder pushed a corner over the line with his thigh. “Loss would have been a slap in the face. Three points are unbelievable,” said the defender, who came off the bench. “Hopefully that will give us a boost for the next tasks.”

Sunday Chemnitz comes for the second advent. Civa: “A tough nut to crack.”
