17:31 Guest appearance in Gießen
The Wiesbaden Phantoms missed out on securing their place in the GFL2 league ahead of time against the Golden Dragons in Gießen. The team of Head Coach David Gordon ultimately lost out quite clearly away from home by 17:31 (10:21). The Phantoms did not really get into the game from the outset, had to concede a return by Elloheim Tucker almost to the halfway line on the very first play and then never really got a grip on quarterback Bronson McClelland - regardless of whether the American passed, gained space himself or even scored points, as he did when the score was 20:3 at one stage. McClelland threw the 6:0 and 13:0 to Jake Höchst and Leo Kopf, while Leon Pitzki scored the two extra points. The final score was 17:31 and the Phantoms went home from the Hesse derby as losers.
