The match between Austria and Germany played by the two “national teams” on June 4, 2010 in Altach , each composed of celebrities and legends, was won by the Austrian team 5-2. During the game, the German coach illegally increased the number of legends. After injuring goalkeeper Andreas Thiel - he suffered a shoulder injury on the goal post - the Austrian player Leo Hillinger was put in the German goal. Soon after, Guido Buchwald replaced him and Hillinger was allowed to switch to the “home” goal. In this he could not hold the second goal of the Germans shortly afterwards.
