Fans in Pforzheim rejoice in triumph of the German squad

In the heart of Pforzheim, Germany, the Enzauenpark and the streets around Zerrennerstraße and Leopoldstraße became a frenzy of joy and excitement as the German national football team secured a dramatic victory in the 2018 World Cup.

The game, played on Saturday, saw the team come back from a seemingly lost position against Sweden. With a 1:1 draw in regular play, many believed the team's progression was at an end. However, in the final seconds of extra time, Toni Kroos scored a winning goal, keeping all chances of progression alive.

The crowd erupted into wild cheers, drumming wildly on large drums and singing victory songs. Strangers embraced, cheering and shouting in unison. Photos from the Enzauenpark and Pforzheim's streets can be found online, capturing the raw emotion of the moment.

Meanwhile, at the intersection of Zerrennerstraße and Leopoldstraße, fans shouted "Sit down" to block the intersection, causing a momentary traffic jam. The police, reinforced for the occasion, only intervened in extreme cases in the city center parade.

One older gentleman expressed his disappointment about the team's luck in extra time, but his voice was drowned out by the collective joy of the crowd. He had watched the first game against Mexico in a local bar in Pforzheim.

A fan won a case of beer by correctly predicting the German victory, while DJ Don Jogi provided musical accompaniment during the celebrations. Some fans may have woken up hoarse the next day from cheering too loudly.

A police officer admitted he would rather be at home with his family, but the excitement of the moment was palpable throughout the city. The win brought a sense of unity and camaraderie among the fans, making the long wait for the team's victory worth it.

Despite the search, there are no records explicitly identifying the goalkeeper who played in Enzauenpark for the German national team and saved the decisive winning goal against Sweden in the 2018 World Cup year. Regardless, the memory of that night will live on in the hearts of Pforzheim's residents for years to come.
