New week – fresh news. In the current issue of “Lilies across the Board” we report on Kai Klefisch’s dream goal, which was nominated for “Goal of the Month” by the ARD Sportschau. There is also all the information about a Lilies fan team that has been unbeaten in six games and we take a look at the final match day of the Blind Football Bundesliga.

Kai Klefisch was nominated for the “Goal of the Month for August” by the ARD Sportschau. He scored his dream long-range goal in the DFB Cup game against Teutonia Ottensen: from around 23 meters, the number 17 of the Lilies slammed the ball under the crossbar and into the goal, giving the team a 1-0 lead (final score 3-1 from the SVD’s perspective). ). „Some people say the ball was sliced…“ smiled Klefisch after the game and explained: „I didn’t see anyone in front of me and thought I’d just give it a hit. It was a disgusting one for the goalkeeper to try and judge.“ Voting for the “Goal of the Month” runs until September 28th (7pm). Vote here for the dream goal from Kai Klefisch
