A quick counter‑attack caught Hegelmann off guard, and Transinvest’s striker slotted calmly past the goalkeeper to make it 1-0.

A corner was met by a powerful header that glanced off the post and into the net, sending the home fans into raptures. Despite late pressure from Hegelmann, Transinvest held firm, with their goalkeeper making two crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet. The victory marks one of the biggest results in Transinvest’s recent history and sets up a tantalising quarter‑final tie.
