142 seconds of Bundesliga madness
Cologne - It may have been the Rhineland that was gripped by Carnival fever on Saturday, but as the batch of five mid-afternoon kick-offs drew to a close, the lid was let loose on an almost nationwide explosion of sheer barminess in the Bundesliga.
In Sinsheim, Mönchengladbach and, above all, Leverkusen, fans were put through the emotional mill as two local derbies and a clash between two top-four rivals were decided by dramatic last-minute goals, all of them coming within 142 seconds of each other. That's not to mention an 8-0 result in Munich and a five-goal thriller in Bremen. Spare a thought for reporters, commentators and editors everywhere...
