Curious scene at the second division handball match in Lübeck. Neither the referee nor the referees noticed that the home side scored the equalizer at the last second with eight outfield players.

Curious final goal with potential for discussion: In the second division handball match between VfL Lübeck-Schwartau and HC Elbflorenz Dresden, the hosts scored an irregular goal to make it 33:33 with three seconds remaining - and nobody noticed the infringement.

The club from Lübeck had eight players on the court when it equalized - and apparently not even by mistake. The images from the streaming service Dyn show that VfL coach David Röhrig sent right winger Nadav Cohen, who was already on the bench, back onto the pitch after he noticed the faux pas.

Possible consequences still open

The relegation-threatened Lübeckers managed to score the equalizer and thus win the point in a disallowed overtime situation. The "Bild" newspaper first reported on the incident, which hurts Dresden in their fight for promotion. It was initially unclear whether HC Elbflorenz would subsequently lodge a protest.

It is also unclear why neither the referees nor the referee duo Marvin Völkening/Jonas Zollitsch did not notice the clear breach of the rules, even though Cohen had run right past the referees' table twice.
