First cup surprise
In 1860 Darmstadt wrestled on penalties

Dynamo Dresden is the first club in the second round of the DFB Cup. The second division climber defeated SC Paderborn in the league duel. Because Julius Kade meets very late. The second game of the evening at 1860 Munich is only decided on penalties – and ends with a victory for the underdog.

Dynamo Dresden – SC Paderborn 2: 1 (0: 0)

Dynamo Dresden has reached the second round in the DFB Cup. The second division football team prevailed against league rivals SC Paderborn 2-1 (0-0). Tim Knipping (54th) and Julius Kade (88th) scored the goals for the home side in front of 12,702 spectators in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium. Sven Michel (61.) met to equalize in the meantime.

Both teams invested a lot right from the start. The opposing build-up game was attacked early on, which repeatedly led to mistakes or ultimately haphazard attempts at liberation. Scoring chances remained a rarity in the first half, but Dresden had the better ones. In the 35th minute, defender Michael Sollbauer headed to a corner from Paderborn goalkeeper Jannik Huth. Just a few seconds later, Michael Akoto pulled just past the goal from 15 meters.

After the restart, the game clearly picked up speed. First, Knipping headed the home side after a corner kick, only seven minutes later Michel equalized after a shot from the post by Kai Pröger. Dynamo then had several opportunities to take the lead again. But neither Ransford Königsdörffer (63rd) nor Morris Schröter and Brandon Borrello (both 64th) were able to put the ball in the goal. Afterwards, both teams slowly lost their strength. Ultimately, however, Dresden had the happier end because the substitute Panagiotis Vlachodimos lifted Kade, who scored the celebrated victory.

1860 Munich – Darmstadt 98 5: 4 (1: 1, 1: 1, 0: 0)

In a thrilling cup fight, TSV 1860 Munich defeated the corona-plagued second division soccer club SV Darmstadt 98 on penalties. The courageous third division team cheered after a 1: 1 (1: 1, 0: 0) after extra time a 5: 4 in the decision of the point. Match winners for the “Löwen” were goalkeeper Marco Hiller, who defended the first penalty from Patric Pfeiffer, and Stephan Salger, who converted the last penalty, in front of 4158 spectators in the Grünwalder Stadium. In the regular season, Philipp Steinhart (75th) had taken the lead in 1860, while the strong Luca Pfeiffer equalized for the guests (80th).

The game picked up speed without much fumbling. Stefan Lex had the biggest “lion” chance of the first half in the 6th minute. The attacker failed after a fine interaction with captain Sascha Mölders on goalkeeper Marcel Schuhe, whom he wanted to lop over.

The guests then found their way into the game. Hiller, who returned to the 1860 goal after being suspended, parried a Matthias Bader header with a reflex (17th). The later goalscorer Pfeiffer shot from 20 meters to the lower edge of the crossbar (22nd). A class difference was not discernible at any point in time. 1860 was mostly on the trigger, had chances after the break through Mölders and Lex. Darmstadt quickly countered the deserved 1-0 by Steinhart. In the 119th minute of the game, Hiller parried a header from Darmstadt’s defender Pfeifer and saved his team.
