Wroclaw Wins 2nd Straight, Outlasts Leipzig, 54-28

Leipzig traveled to Wroclaw for the Week 2 opener, and right out of the gate, the Panthers picked up where they left off in Week 1.

The Kings started with the ball, and moved down the field in a methodical fashion, with RB Jason Aguemon carrying the load. The drive stalled, causing Leipzig to decide to kick a FG.

The kick was blocked, however, and CB Darius Robinson scooped it up and ran it back the first TD of the game.

QB Michael Birdsong and WR Timothy Knuettel hooked up for the first Kings score in the 1st quarter. The only other Leipzig first half TD was scored by RB Raymond Sobowale.
