What a goal-fest in Klagenfurt!

Team Ronaldinho and the Austrian legends team Copa Pele draw 7:7 at Ronaldinho’s Legends Cup in the Wörthersee Arena.

The international selection features Ronaldinho, Wesley Sneijder, Maicon, Bruno Alves, Giorgos Karagounis, Hernanes, and Ronald de Boer, among others.

Sneijder Scores Stunning Goal

After the first 35 minutes, Team Ronaldinho leads 4:2. Wesley Sneijder delivers one of the first half's highlights with a spectacular curled shot. Ronaldinho scores from the penalty spot, and Marcos Tavares also gets on the scoresheet.

After the break, Michael Liendl pulls one back with a remarkable volley. Jessey Sneijder, Wesley's son, and Greece's European champion Giorgos Karagounis then extend the lead to 6:3.

Jantscher Nets Equalizer

However, it's not over after two 35-minute halves. A spectacular back-and-forth battle unfolds in a 15-minute third half.

Stefan Maierhofer first reduces the deficit to 4:6, before Wesley Sneijder restores the two-goal advantage with his second goal. Liendl also scores his second goal, making it 5:7.

Maierhofer brings Copa Pele closer again with a tap-in after a header from Walter Schachner. In the very last action of the game, Jakob Jantscher manages to equalize to a 7:7 final score after a superb pass from Liendl.

Thus, the Legends Cup in Klagenfurt concludes with a total of 14 goals.
