On matchday 5, Steven Skrzybski had already curled the ball into the opponent’s goal from a long distance. Back in September, his club Holstein Kiel was still a middle-class club in the second division, and Skrzybski became the big story of the game with his goal from 57 meters.
Now, at the start of the second half of the new year, the Kieler went one better: the attacker scored against relegation candidate Eintracht Braunschweig from 58.6 meters. “Of course I’m happy that it worked out again. I have a good shot and then we’ll see what happens,” said the long-range shooter, whose goal in the end was only a side note. The big number is now the team itself. Kiel is at the top of the second division and lost to Braunschweig despite Skrzybski’s dream goal.
The beautiful long-range goal had no effect: Holstein Kiel instead has to worry about the lead in the second league. At the start of the second half of the season, the promotion candidate suffered a bitter 1:2 (1:1) against relegation candidate Eintracht Braunschweig on Friday evening. Competitors FC St. Pauli can regain first place with a win on Saturday against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. For Eintracht it is an important success in the bottom of the table.

We have to improve that quickly, but a game like this won’t throw us off track,” said Skrzybski, who first impressed the Kiel audience with his goal (11th) from almost 60 meters. ecstatic. However, Fabio Kaufmann (43rd) and Rayan Philippe (57th) really annoyed the weakened hosts. Philippe’s supposed second goal (80th) was canceled due to offside.
