LOWLY German outfit Magdeburg failed to find the net for five consecutive
games.
But rather than boo their own players as is the modern way, these fans decided
to lend a helping hand.
Supporters of the German Regionalliga Nord side handed out arrows ahead of
their home match with Berliner AK '07 on Sunday.
The fans gathered in the stands behind the goal and held up a banner reading: "Don't
worry, chaps, we will show you where the goal is!"
And their efforts seemed to work. American forward Chris Wright finally found
the back of the net to equalise for Magdeburg and end their 558-minute goal
drought.
His goal looked set to earn the basement club a vital point - but it wasn't to
be. Berliner hit a last-minute winner to snatch the game 2-1.
The result means Magdeburg remain rooted to the foot of the table with only 20
points from 25 games and just 16 goals all campaign.
But at least their fans have shown that Germans do have a sense of humour
after all.
