🤯 Quarter-final shock: Icon League favourites already knocked out
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
The first quarterfinal of today's final day offered a surprise right from the start: Bürgeramt defeated title defender FC OneFootball and now stands in the semifinals.
Bürgeramt started well into the game and scored as early as the first minute through Dzindic to make it 1-0. After the equalizer in the eighth minute, Bürgeramt stepped up and pulled away with three goals to make it 4-1.
OneFootball, visibly impressed, made many easy ball losses. However, they came back through Spanish futsal legend Miguelín. The 40-year-old took responsibility, and his goal counted double since the Rulebreaker Golden Ball was activated. Fries then scored spectacularly to equalize.
The game was open again, before Aghnima made a consequential mistake. He dribbled as the last man, lost the ball, and Dzemailji scored the goal to retake the lead. In the 22nd minute, the game seemed already decided: Dzemailji scored a double pack to make it 6-4 for Bürgeramt.
30 seconds before the end, Bürgeramt goalkeeper Derwein played a fatal wrong pass, Fries only had to shoot in.
OneFootball actually managed to equalize – but one second too late. The goal no longer counted.
Bürgeramt now stands in the semifinals and has to face the winner of the match between The Pack and Berlin City. The team from Frankfurt convinced and can continue to dream of the title.

‘No need to panic', insists Tuchel after England slump to Senegal defeat
Thomas Tuchel insisted England should not panic over their World Cup prospects despite being humbled by Senegal one year and one day before the tournament starts. Tuchel suffered the first defeat of his reign at the City Ground and England their first loss to African opposition in 22 matches as Senegal ran out deserving 3-1 winners. Jude Bellingham had a goal controversially disallowed at 2-1 but, after the laboured win against Andorra in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, there was no disguising the paucity of England's latest performance under their German coach. England were booed off for the second game in succession.

'We lost a test match so there is no need to panic,' said Tuchel. 'We have three qualification games, we have nine points, we have not conceded and we will be competitive in September and we will go for two more victories, 100%. We know more now, we are smarter. It is tough at the moment. I am the first one to dislike and hate losses but we don't go next week, we go in one year and I think by nature it will get more competitive in the nomination process and in the demands for players to be nominated and to be with us in September, October, November because we are in a World Cup season.' Tuchel defended his decision to leave Ivan Toney on the bench until the 88th minute, explaining the striker was at his best inside the box and England were not close enough to it when he brought on Morgan Rogers instead. But he conceded the defeat, plus two poor performances, would leave a bad feeling throughout the summer.

I'm glad for a tough test and challenges. We wanted to feel the quality of a top-20 team and we felt their quality. We felt what it means to them. I heard them in the dressing room before the match, I heard them in the dressing room after the match so I know how much it means to them to play against us. How much joy they expressed if they make this happen. 'It's the right thing to test, the right thing to challenge. Of course we demand a lot of ourselves and I demand more of myself, we wanted to play better against Andorra, and do better today. It is a tough learning.'

Thomas Tuchel says ‘no need to panic' for England after Senegal defeat
Thomas Tuchel insists there is no need for England to panic after losing 3-1 at home to Senegal in Tuesday night's friendly. Harry Kane gave England an eighth-minute lead but goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly gave Pape Thiaw's side a deserved victory. Tuchel, 51, had guided England to victories in their World Cup qualification group over Albania, Latvia and Andorra in his opening three matches, but the German coach's 100 per cent winning record was ended at the City Ground in Nottingham. Advertisement 'We lost a test match, so there's no need to panic,' Tuchel said after the game. 'We have played three qualification games, we have nine points and and not conceded. We will be competitive in September and we will go for two more victories 100 per cent. 'We know more now. We are smarter. It is tough at the moment. I'm the first one to hate losses like, like nothing else. But we don't go next week to the World Cup. 'We go in one year, and I think by nature it will get more competitive in the qualification process and in the demands for the players to be selected and to be with us in September, October, November.' Tuchel was quizzed on why striker Ivan Toney was not introduced until the 88th minute, replacing left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly, despite starting No 9 Harry Kane being replaced in the 58th minute by Morgan Rogers. 'No it was too early,' Tuchel said of Toney not being introduced around the hour mark. 'We wanted to play there with Morgan Rogers — more fluid, much more physical player. I think it was too early for Toney because the game was so physical. 'We were not close enough to the goal consistently to get his strengths into play. That is my view of the game.' England return to action at home to Andorra on September 6 before an away game in Serbia three days later. (Eddie Keogh – The FA/The FA via Getty Images)

Liverpool and Leverkusen in final stages of Florian Wirtz transfer negotiations
Negotiations between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen over a deal taking Florian Wirtz to Anfield are in the final stages, with the clubs speaking daily as they try to reach an agreement. Liverpool made an improved second offer for the 22–year-old Germany playmaker last week worth around €134million (£113m), with about €118.7m (£100m) guaranteed. Advertisement This proposal was not rejected as such and talks continue in order to settle on a package that is acceptable to both sides, but Liverpool have no intention to bid as high as the reported €150m (£126.4m) asking price for the attacking midfielder. The discussions — led by Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and Leverkusen managing director of sport Simon Rolfes — are now mainly focused on the structure and specifically payment terms, plus the nature of any add-ons. A medical has also yet to be arranged. The first part of this summer's transfer window, created for the Club World Cup, has now closed and will not reopen until June 16, giving time for both clubs to agree the finer details of this agreement. The magnitude of the transfer, allied to Leverkusen not specifically needing a trade and Liverpool wanting to work within their parameters, explains why the parties are going into such detail over the situation and it is taking understandable time and patience to find a resolution. There is a level of respect within the dialogue that should produce an amicable outcome for what would be Liverpool's record signing and Leverkusen's biggest sale. There is, meanwhile, a possible departure from Merseyside in the form of Darwin Nunez. Al Hilal contacted Liverpool about the Uruguay striker on Monday and the Saudi Pro League team were made aware about the conditions of a move. Liverpool rejected a proposal worth €70m from Al Nassr in January and that sets a minimum bar if an exit is to materialise. Nunez is thought to favour staying in Europe — Spain and Italy being a priority. Atletico Madrid are among those considering the forward. The 25-year-old has scored 40 goals across three seasons at Anfield since joining from Benfica in 2022. (James Gill – Danehouse/Getty Images)
