The first match of the Weißenfels home team was the definite highlight for them. Some 400 spectators watched the maybe most-well-known floorball team of the world, and everybody knew before that everything but a loss with more than ten goals difference was a sensation.
In the first minutes Weißenfels tried to compete in playing floorball instead of destroying Pixbo's game which was nearly honored by a goal. After the first five minutes without goals, it was 55 minutes Pixbo-time. After ten minutes, the score was 5:0. Weißenfels improved very much in defensive play then, but before the first break, the Gothenburg team made three more goals.
Though it would be the right one, I cannot use the word impressive for the way Pixbo played in first period - as the second period was REALLY IMPRESSIVE! It was 12-0, no, not after 40 minutes, but in the second twenty ones, the score was 20-0 after the second period. In the third period, Pixbo played a bit less concentrated and more fun-like. After 36 minutes they lead 27-0. Andreas Gahlert managed to score the honorable goal for the hosts, which was celebrated by the crowd like a victory over that fantastic team from Sweden.
That was a really impressing one, the win could have been even higher. The day after, you could read in the local newspaper that the Weißenfels coach complained that this was unsportsmanlike behaviour by Pixbo and a bad day for German floorball. No, Mr Gahlert! Maybe it was a bad day for your city's floorball club, but it shows Germany that we have much work to do, e.g. by coaching kids and improving our major leagues before we are able to compete in international floorball, especially in male floorball. Weißenfels dominates German floorbal and is the positively best team in Germany beating new Bundesliga teams 17:3 or 18:2. But they are beaten the same way when they compete with teams who do not play "Unihockey" but "floorball".
