The Raiders Tirol have to admit defeat to the Munich Ravens with 3:30 in the last round of the regular season of the European League of Football (ELF).

The team around head coach Jim Herrmann finished the season with eight wins from twelve games, but missed out on a place in the playoffs due to the loss to the division rival from the Central Conference.

For the Tyroleans, the direction of travel on the rainy afternoon was already announced in the first drive: Cinque Sweeting allowed a fumble, but despite winning the ball, the Munich hosts failed to convert the field goal attempt that followed shortly afterwards.

The Raiders only scored points in the first quarter. Darragh Leader scored a field goal for the Austrians.

From the second quarter onwards, the southern Germans took control. First, Etuale Lui scored the touchdown, and after the successful PAT, the score was 7:3 from the hosts’ perspective.

Running back Oyewo increased the score to 14:3 before the break. Justin Rodney underlined the offensive strength of the Munich team with an 80-yard touchdown. The third quarter ended with another field goal at 24:3.

In the final quarter, Oyewo lets the home fans cheer again with a touchdown, the 3:30 defeat of the Raiders means the second missed playoff place in the ELF.

The Raiders Tirol reward themselves in a crazy, hard-fought game with a 45:42 victory against the Stuttgart Surge.

Head Coach Jim Herrmann’s team fell behind 10:28 in the second quarter, but was able to reduce the deficit to 21:28 before halftime.

When the third quarter kicks off, a real exchange of blows begins. First, the Raiders equalize at 28:28, the Stuttgart home team increases their lead by seven points, before the Innsbruck team equalizes again.

The final quarter begins with the score at 35:35, and the Austrians regain the lead with a field goal from Darragh Leader (38:35). The Surge, in which German NFL player Jakob Johnson is a partner, respond with their last points and increase the score to 42:38.

The salvation for the Raiders, coupled with the first defeat of the season for the Stuttgart team, comes from Richard Weber and a successful PAT (point after touchdown) with 43 seconds left on the clock.

With a score of 45:42 and a blocked field goal attempt by the home team, the Raiders can no longer be denied their seventh win of the season at the final whistle.

Football record in Munich

In the twelfth week, fans will witness a new record: The Munich Ravens clearly beat the Barcelona Dragons 90:0!

The final quarter was particularly impressive, with the Germans scoring 34 points.

Not only is this the biggest win by an ELF franchise ever, but no team in the NFL has ever scored so many points in a single game.

In the USA, the Washington Commanders hold the NFL record with 72 points scored. This was set on November 27, 1966 in the game against the New York Giants (at that time still known as the “Redskins”).
