Richard Golz held firm against his trauma: on October 3, 1998, with the Bundesliga home game against Hamburg in stoppage time at 0–0, a penalty was awarded for HSV. It became a defining moment for goalkeeper Richard Golz, who had moved from Hamburg to Freiburg after being displaced there by Hans-Jörg Butt. Butt took the penalty, Golz saved it, and the Dreisamstadion celebrated as if Freiburg had scored a winner.
