Change error: Wolfsburg threatens cup-out – sport

An embarrassing mistake made by the new coach Mark van Bommel could cost Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg a place in the second round of the DFB Cup. In the lucky 3: 1 (1: 1, 0: 0) after extra time at the regional league team Preußen Münster, the Dutchman made three more changes in extra time after three changes in regular time.

However, the statutes of the German Football Association (DFB) do not allow this. According to a report by Kicker referee Christian Dingert noted the substitution error in the match report. Münster can now protest against the rating of the game. “Yes, we are aware that Wolfsburg has changed six times. We will discuss this internally and decide whether and how we should proceed against it,” said manager Peter Niemeyer. Initially, nobody from those responsible in Wolfsburg wanted to comment after the encounter. To the Kicker According to the Wolfsburg had asked the fourth official during the game whether another move was allowed. His answer is not known.

In terms of sport, the Champions League participant would almost have been eliminated. The team made it to the second round with a lot of dizziness. Central defender Marcel Hoffmeier scored the surprising lead for the long-time strong fourth division team (74th) after a corner. Josip Brekalo equalized for the disappointing cup winner in 2015 (90th). Striker Wout Weghorst (103rd) and Ridle Baku (120th + 1) met in the heated extra time to win the tremor for VfL.

Disgrace for Frankfurt

The competitive debut of Oliver Glasner as trainer of Eintracht Frankfurt went completely wrong after an underground performance of his new protégés. The Bundesliga team embarrassed themselves in the first main round of the DFB Cup with a 0: 2 (0: 0) at the third division team Waldhof Mannheim – and was still well served with the result. Marcel Seegert (48th) and Joseph Boyamba (52nd) met in the south-west duel for the Mannheimers, who secured around 250,000 euros in bonus for moving into the next round. Eintracht defense chief Martin Hinteregger was relegated to abundance of the field (62nd). The Frankfurters have to improve a lot at the start of the league next weekend at Borussia Dortmund.

Only on penalties did FSV Mainz 05 and 1. FC Köln advance. Mainz won from the point 8: 7 at SV Elversberg, after extra time it was 2: 2. Cologne won the penalty shootout at Carl Zeiss Jena 4-2, where it was 1-1 after 120 minutes.

Kruse is successful in Munich

Max Kruse has meanwhile led Union Berlin into the second round. With the winning goal in the 23rd minute, the Olympic participant underscored his exceptional position at the Bundesliga club in the 1-0 (1-0) of the European Cup participants away against Türkgücü Munich with the winning goal in the 23rd minute. The eleventh place in the table in the 3rd division sold well in front of around 2500 spectators in the Grünwalder Stadium.

But for the main round debutant it was not enough against superior Berliners who were accompanied by many fans. Kruse played a decisive role in this. Coach Urs Fischer let the offensive man start right away after only a short preparation. After his sporting Olympic disappointment, in which he caused a sensation with a public marriage proposal to his girlfriend Dilara, Kruse rejoiced over the first big eye-catcher in the cup fight.

Hamburger SV has not confirmed its reputation as the first-round wobbly candidate in the DFB Cup and threw the third division soccer club Eintracht Braunschweig 2-1 (1: 1) out of the race. Jan Gyamerah (8th minute) and Robert Glatzel (68th) scored the goals for HSV and Luc Ihorst (44th) for Braunschweig. In the previous year, Hamburg had embarrassed themselves with 1: 4 at the then third division Dynamo Dresden.

It was only after a long start-up time that Hertha BSC solved its compulsory task and made it into the second round. At the third division club SV Meppen, the Berliners, who played two classes higher, prevailed 1-0 (0-0). Davie Selke (90th + 1) redeemed the favorite. For one half the hard-fought game was totally open. Conducted by returnees Kevin-Prince Boateng, the guests showed the more mature playing system, but in the penalty area the penetration was lacking.

Rostock in the second round for the first time in three years

Hansa Rostock is back in the second round of the DFB Cup for the first time in three years. The team of coach Jens Härtel defeated 1. FC Heidenheim on Sunday evening in front of 15,000 spectators in the Ostseestadion with 3: 2 after extra time (0: 1, 1: 1). Patrick Mainka (57th minute / own goal), Calogero Rizzuto (94th) and Ridge Munsy (120th) scored the goals for the Mecklenburgers, Patrick Mainka (25th minute) and Stefan Schimmer (108th) scored for the guests.

With a lot of effort, SC Freiburg also cleared the first cup hurdle. The 1-0 (1-0) in Würzburg is deserved, but lackluster. “We didn’t manage to score the second goal. In the end we were lucky in the last situation. All in all, it was a difficult game,” said coach Christian Streich. Jonathan Schmid (45th minute) scored the decisive goal for the Breisgauers, who were concentrated and defensively stable in front of 2820 spectators at the Würzburg Dallenberg. For the second division relegated Würzburg, the current lull continues after the start in the third division failed with zero goals and zero points.

Even a not always confident FC Schalke 04 made it through. The second division ultimately deservedly won 4: 1 (1: 1) at the southern Baden upper division club FC 08 Villingen. Marius Bülter brought the Bundesliga relegated early on in front of the 4992 spectators admitted due to the Corona conditions (17th). But when Nedzad Plavci equalized for the bravely fighting fifth division club FC 08 (31st), the guests lost a bit of the thread. But a double pack from Schalke’s new signing Rodrigo Zalazar (49th) and again Bülter (51st) ensured clear conditions shortly after the break. Substitute Iaroslav Mikhailov scored for the final score (79th). Villingen is still waiting for its first victory in the DFB Cup. With ten participations so far, the South Baden cup winner has been eliminated from the start every time.

Second division Fortuna Düsseldorf has easily reached round two. At the fifth division VfL Oldenburg, the Rhinelander won 5-0 (3-0) on Sunday and showed a clear performance. In front of 4200 spectators in the Marschwegstadion, Rouwen Hennings (12th minute / 62nd / penalty kick), Carsten Abbes (23rd / own goal), Dawid Kownacki (26th / penalty kick) and Nicklas Shipnoski (69th) scored the goals for the coach’s team Christian Preusser. The favorite from the 2nd division showed a clear class difference right from the start. Felix Klaus (2nd) and Kownacki (8th) could have met early. The 1-0 win was made by captain Hennings, who was able to head in from a short distance after a cross from Leonardo Koutris.

Hennings was also involved in the second Fortuna goal. His cross pushed Oldenburg’s Abbes over their own goal line (23). Three minutes later, VfL goalkeeper Thilo Pöpken fouled Düsseldorf’s Klaus in the penalty area – Kownacki converted the penalty that was due for a 3-0 break. After the break, the guests still had no problems with the Oldenburgers. VfL were a little braver, but the hosts didn’t have any chances to score. On the other side, Fortuna got another penalty after Kownacki had been fouled: Hennings increased to 4-0 (62nd). Shipnoski ensured the deserved 5-0 final score after 69 minutes.

Jahn Regensburg has safely reached the second round. The team of coach Mersad Selimbegovic won their first round match on Sunday at the regional division Rot-Weiß Koblenz 3-0 (2-0). In the preseason Jahn had made it to the quarter-finals. Jan-Niklas Beste (27th), Andreas Albers (31st) and Max Besuschkow (68th) scored for the favorite, who started the second division season brilliantly with two wins. For Koblenz, the representative of the fourth-class Regionalliga Süd-West, it was the second cup participation after 2018. In a fight-heavy game, Regensburg initially found it difficult to play through the defensive rows. Red-White stood safe and sought his salvation in the counter game, but made the wrong decisions.

The guests needed a flick of the best from 20 meters for the tour. A little later, Albers headed a cross from Bayern’s loan from Sarpreet Singh. After the break, Koblenz came out of the cabin more energetic, Regensburg left the host too many rooms and remained too passive itself. But even for coach Heiner Backhaus’ team there were hardly any real scoring opportunities in this phase. Besuschkow punished this with a header from a corner from Beste.
