The amazing Austrian Football League just wrapped up with an exciting final and if you managed to miss such a nerve-wracking game, here is everything that you need to know.

THE FIRST QUARTER

The quarter started out quiet with no points scored for each team, until the Vikings defence started slipping. The first Touchdown was made by the Danube Dragons runningback Lukas Schlemm and after a successful PAT the Dragons were up 7-0. with 10 seconds left of the first quarter, Devin James Childress, a wide receiver of the Dragons managed to score another touchdown and at the end of the quarter the score was 14-0 for the Danube Dragons.

THE SECOND QUARTER

Fabian Eder, a Vienna Vikings wide receiver took the first quarter personally. 10 seconds before the quarter ended, he scored probably the most interesting touchdown of the season. He was almost tackled right in front of the endzone, but managed to roll over the DB without touching the floor and stick the landing for six points. After a successful PAT the Dragons‘ lead was halved and the score was 14-7.

THE THIRD QUARTER

This is when things got heated. Eder was riding high off his success in the first half and was determined to continue performing in the second half. He scored another touchdown only seven minutes into the first half and after a fortunate PAT from Kevin Voznyak the Vienna Vikings and Danube Dragons were tied 14-14. Desperate to stay in the lead, the Dragons scored a field goal but their 3-point lead didn’t last long. 5 minutes later Eder scored another touchdown and the PAT was once again triumphant. The third quarter ended with a score of 17-21.

THE FINAL QUARTER

The Danube Dragons were furious. They were only one touchdown away from being in the lead again. Even if they didn’t score a PAT. But the Vikings defence didn’t give them any chance. With two minutes left in the game the Vienna Vikings were in possession of the ball and that’s when the newly recruited quarterback, Russel Minor Shaw, decided to show just why he was here to stay and scored an amazing 36-yard rushing touchdown. The game ended with a score of 17-27.
