This was going to be an iconic moment in history we could feel. As for the first time in the football history (if of course you don\u2019t count the 2:1 at the 1994 FIFA World Cup), the Bulgarian team had pretty good chances against Germany and their experienced strikers Andr\u00e9 Kreft, Simon Kovacic and the solid\u00a0 goalkeeper Chris Benz .<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_4197590.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_4197590.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_4197590-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was a long night out, lets just leave it at that shall we and of course it goes with out saying it was a lot of fun where yes of course \u2013 Germany used their home advantage to take this win on the table.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC03067590.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC03067590.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC03067590-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Day 2: Matchday! Lets Get it On!<\/h3>\n<p>Come match day it sure\u00a0wasn&#8217;t\u00a0easy to get to the Olympiastadium on Saturday afternoon. With a city full of\u00a0Bayern and Borussia fans, who were really friendly to each other we made our way through the turnstiles. The atmosphere of this\u00a0historical\u00a0famous and important stadium was just fantastic &#8211; and with over 75,000 spectators the place was ready for some serious action on the pitch!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC03101590.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC03101590.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC03101590-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A couple of early goals from both teams gave the start to what turned out to be a really exciting game. With the score board reading 1:1 our thirst was whetted and the \u00a0equally excited <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/en\/loyalty\/diamond-club\">Elite Players<\/a><\/strong> needed refreshing, an easy task in the land of beer we hear you cry! Amazingly the game ended 5:2 for Borussia which if you&#8217;d asked before no one would have expected in a million years, we should have had a bet on that action!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_4318590.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_4318590.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_4318590-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A Game of Two Halves?<\/h3>\n<p>With the game ended, the night was just beginning.
