DThree of the four Cologne shooters converted their penalties, Hamburger SV had four goals after the fifth. Florian Kainz, the last shooter, had to score to give his team a chance of reaching the quarter-finals in the DFB Cup.
Kainz stepped up, slipped, but still scored. The man from Cologne cheered with relief, as did his colleagues in the middle circle. To everyone’s surprise, however, referee Daniel Schlager called the Austrian back and the game was over: no goal, HSV was one round ahead, but nobody knew why at first.
The referee provided clarification, first explaining to the shooter himself and then to anyone who wanted to hear that Kainz had shot the ball with his right hand at the slipped left one when he slipped. Two contacts, one too many. “I immediately had a bad feeling because I realized that I had slipped. In the end, it’s very bitter for the team. Being eliminated on penalties is very bitter.”

It was the memorable end of a cup game in which the two traditional clubs had met on an equal footing for the entire duration of the game and HSV seemed to have been slightly ahead after just 120 minutes.
The decisive phase was located between the 90th and 100th minute: After Robert Glatzel had headed Hamburger SV in the DFB Cup round of 16 at 1. FC Köln (92nd), Jan Thielemann hit the post on the other side. Little things made the difference. The goalscorer was injured shortly afterwards in a duel, spat up blood and had to be treated for a split lower lip.

Less than a minute later it was HSV captain Sebastian Schonlau who lost the ball after an action. Intensity and toughness increased again, and there was a lot going on on the sidelines as well. HSV coach Tim Walter saw a yellow card for complaining (100th).
It remained heated and exciting, and it actually ended in a penalty shoot-out. In the last second of added time, the Rhinelanders received a penalty after Schonlau saved Modeste. A tough decision that Modeste used to make it 1-1 (120+2) and needed HSV coach Tim Walter upset.
Before kick-off and after 90 minutes, he greeted fellow coach Steffen Baumgart warmly. The FC coach expected an “open game, it’s not about the first or second division”. With six changes to the starting eleven compared to the 0:4 against Bayern, the Bundesliga ninth then determined the initial phase, Sebastian Andersson tested HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes early on from close range with a header (7th).
In the 108th competitive game between the two traditional clubs, the people of Cologne made too little of the available space. In addition, Mark Uth missed a huge chance in the 21st minute when he was unable to get the ball into the goal after a bad pass from Heuer Fernandes despite being in the best position in front of the goal. Goalscorer Modeste initially only sat on the bench, the 33-year-old came on in the 60th minute.
HSV, who started the new year poorly with a 1-1 draw in Dresden, initially made too many mistakes, especially when trying to build up the game with short passes in their own half. The second division team was only rarely able to develop dangerous scenes in the first half, and Glatzel’s wasted chance came about more by accident than on purpose (35′). However, full-back Moritz Heyer was unlucky when he hit the post after a solo (45+1).
A minute after the restart, Heuer Fernandes thwarted another great Cologne chance against Jan Thielmann (46′). FC briefly increased the pressure, Andersson had the next good chance with a header (49′). But then HSV got into the game better. Sonny Kittel tested FC goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe with a free kick (72′), Heyer hit the post again after a free kick (83′). A little later it went into overtime.
Hand penalty against 1860 Munich

KSC had previously celebrated in vain: Lucas Cueto headed the ball into the goal after a shot by Fabian Schleusener – but from an offside position (51′). The big chance to equalize was missed by Erik Tallig for the “lions” who seemed powerless after the break. The midfielder failed with a shot from eleven meters at the good KSC goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck.
After the successes against Darmstadt 98 and Schalke 04, the “Lions” could not confirm their reputation as a terror for the second division teams for a third time. In the first half, however, there was no sign of a class difference. 1860 was defensively compact and launched several promising attacks. Marcel Bär shot powerfully over the goal from 18 meters (10th). And Greilinger failed from an acute angle at the attentive Gersbeck (13th).
At first there was little from the guests. KSC only took over after the break, with Schleusener repeatedly causing danger. The KSC can look forward to a million-dollar bonus and to the first quarter-final participation since the 1996/97 season.
