Tuesday’s 1/8 final matches provided a few surprises. The biggest of them was a defeat in the 2nd league, but also a defeat of Hamburger SV, who plays at the second level. The result of the second of these meetings was resolved in bizarre circumstances.
No settlement in regular game time
Both teams did not manage to score a goal in the regular time of the game, so the game was to be decided by extra time. It was also a draw – he took the lead in the 92nd minute after a goal by Robert Glatzel, but in the last seconds, Anthony Modeste led to the equalization from the penalty spot.
A series of penalty shots was therefore needed to determine the winner. After three attempts by each team, the scoreboard was 2: 2 – Salih Ozcan did not find the way to the net on the hosts’ side, while Sonny Kittel was mistaken among the guests.
A curious criminal in a series of eleven
In the fifth series, the second-tier player Bastian Schonlau hit the net, so the hosts had to score to prolong their hopes for promotion. Florian Kainz approached the ball and beat the rivals’ goalkeeper. Ultimately, however, his team dropped out of further competition.
All due to the fact that the Austrian footballer made a kix. When taking a shot, the 29-year-old hit the ball in such a way that it first hit his other leg and only then fell into the net. Double tapping the ball meant that the referee did not recognize this hit, which made the Hamburger SV players enjoy the promotion to the next round.
