HAMBURG FAN STEALS ENTIRE GOALPOST

An 88th-minute winner from Luca Waldschmidt was enough to keep Hamburg out of the relegation picture on the final day of the Bundesliga season, ensuring the club maintain their record of never having been relegated from Germany's top tier. After the last-minute escape, Hamburg fans were notably frenzied when the final whistle blew, with a mass pitch invasion ensuing at the Volksparkstadion. Amidst the hubbub, one of the goalposts was completely uprooted and removed from the stadium. Amazingly, the guilty party was spotted on CCTV later on that day, parading with his keepsake around the local train station.     —Agencies
