In the basic time of the game, there were no goals in the match. It was only in the 92nd that Robert Glatzel gave the guests the lead. However, he did not bring the lead, because Anthony Modeste led to a draw in the added time of the second half of extra time, who used a penalty kick.
And it was the series of eleven that decided who will play in the quarter-finals of the German Cup. It started badly for Salih Ozcan missed in the first round and David Kinsombi scored the goal.
The competition evened out in the second series. In it, Sonny Kittel from Hamburger SV did not score, and Modeste equalized. In the next two series, the players of both teams scored confidently. On the side of the hosts it was Dejan Ljubicić and Ondrej Duda, and on the side of the guests, Mario Vusković and Jan Gyamerah.
Everything was decided in the fifth series. First, the goal was scored by Hamburger SV player Bastian Schonlau. When Florian Kainz scored a goal a moment later, it seemed that the match would last a while. However, it happened otherwise.
A strange result in the German Cup
All because of a bizarre mistake of the Austrian competitor. While taking a penalty kick, Schonlau hit his own leg. As he touched the ball twice on impact, the goal was not awarded and the 5th team of the 2nd Bundesliga advanced to the quarter-finals of the German Cup.
This is not the only such surprise in Tuesday’s matches. An even bigger one happened in the St. Pauli – in which the leader of the 2nd Bundesliga eliminated the vice-leader of the German Premier League. St. Pauli won 2: 1.
The hosts were leading to a 2-0 break after a goal by Etienne Amenyido and an Axel Witsel own goal. Although Erling Haaland used a penalty after the break, the result of the match has not changed.
