It was a real thriller between the Stuttgart Surge and the Raiders Tirol, with the Raiders' last drive deciding the game. Many turnovers and many touchdowns created real excitement in the game, which the Stuttgart Surge won 30-25.

Head Coach Neumann was satisfied with the game, saying, "It’s huge to get a win like that on the road. We played against some of the best players in the conference." However, the team still has a lot of work ahead: "I just let them know that our standard has to be a lot higher than that." Next up for the Stuttgart Surge are the Wroclaw Panthers, who are coming fresh and prepared from a bye week.

Bonatti as a beacon of hope for the Raiders

Despite the loss, Raiders' running back Tobias Bonatti impressed once again with three touchdowns, bringing his season totals to 688 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Bonatti commented on the game: "Of course we are disappointed. We made too many mistakes and made things difficult for ourselves." The Raiders now have their first bye week, before facing the rising Helvetic Mercenaries in Week 10.
