Petersen's Law

Petersen's Law (sometimes referred to as Peter's Law) describes a phenomen in ballgames and states that when a team scores a last-minute equalizer in a match, said team will nevertheless lose the match in the subsequent penalty shoot-out
Jens Petersen: "Erneut greift übrigens Petersen's Law. Das Team das spät den Ausgleich erzielt verliert wahrscheinlicher am Ende trotzdem als dass es gewinnt. Denke so ist es grammatikalisch perfekt formuliert."
