Berlin Thunder Suffers a Crushing Defeat in European League of Football Game against Nordic Storm
Berlin's Thunder suffers heavy defeat in its third match of the season - Berlin's Thunder suffers a substantial defeat in the third game of the season.
Swinging the field though not on their side, the American Football team, Berlin Thunder, faced one of their toughest rivals, the Nordic Storm from Copenhagen, in the third season game of the European League of Football. Unfortunately, it was the Storm who rocked Berlin with a massive 0:35 (0:22) crushing victory—the home team's second loss in the ELF season.
The debacle started right off the bat for the Berliners. Kicker Nils Schauerte's field goal attempt was blocked, and the loose ball was seized by Luke Glenna, who galloped the ball into the Berlin endzone, sending the hosts surging with an early 6:0 lead. The Berlin offense, led by quarterback Jakeb Sullivan, found themselves struggling to make any impact whatsoever throughout the game, failing to score a single point.
The Nordic Storm, the newly-formed Scandinavian team, seized this opportunity to score points. As the second half commenced, the home team took the stage, with their impressive performance showcasing dominance on both sides of the ball, making it difficult for the Thunder to even catch a break.
With next weekend swiftly approaching, the Berlin Thunder will face a tough German duel against the Hamburg Sea Devils, eager to put the heartrending loss behind them.
