BELFAST (Interstat) — In a dramatic comeback, Nürnberg U17 rallied from a two-goal deficit to draw Freiburg U17 2-2 in a GER U17 Bundesliga match Saturday at Queen’s University Malone Playing Fields.

Freiburg took control early with first-half goals from Leon Sawas in the 21st minute and Deniz Bilgic in the 26th. The match turned just before halftime when Freiburg’s Elijah Oguguo scored an own goal for Nürnberg in the 45th minute. The equalizer came in the 58th minute from Nürnberg defender Esad Akgün. Bilgic received a yellow card in the 75th minute for Freiburg.

The result defied pre-match projections, as statistical models heavily favored a Nürnberg victory. Both clubs remain in the middle of the league table following the draw.
