The extremely strong HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes saved a penalty, as did his opponent from Cologne. Then it got strange: HSV led 4:3 and the last shot was taken by Cologne’s Florian Kainz. He ran, kicked – and the ball landed in the goal, but the hit didn’t count. Because Kainz slipped, he first shot the ball to his left foot before maneuvering it into the goal with his right. According to the rules, the shooter is not allowed to touch the ball twice. “I slipped away. It’s a difficult story for me personally. I’ll be able to deal with it,” said Kainz on Sky. HSV reached the last eight for the first time in three years. In the 2018/19 season it was only in the semi-finals that the final stop was reached.

“It was dramatic, but in the end we deserved to win,” said HSV coach Tim Walter at Sport. “It was a great game, only one thing was missing: 50,000 spectators.” Robert Glatzel (92nd) took the lead for the underdog. The strong Heuer Fernandes had to accept the equalizer from Anthony Modeste (120+2, penalty kick). For the Bundesliga side, the wait continues after the defeat: Cologne had last reached the quarter-finals in 2009/2010, the cup victory proclaimed by coach Steffen Baumgart failed early on.

Cologne had to work hard against the brave HSV from the start. Baumgart’s many changes – the coach had made six changes compared to the 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga – had an impact. Nevertheless, the initial phase was promising for the favorites: Sebastian Andersson (7th), for example, failed with a header on Heuer Fernandes (7th), who reacted very well. Then Mark Uth (21st) stumbled the lead in front of the almost empty goal.

That almost took revenge on the other side when suddenly Glatzel (35′) shot free from a few yards but didn’t put the ball in the goal either. Moritz Heyer (45+1) also hit the post, Sonny Kittel put the rebound shot past the right. Cologne shouldn’t have complained about being behind at this point.

Immediately after the break, U21 national player Jan Thielmann failed at HSV keeper Heuer Fernandes (46th). This furious start did not give FC more security. Instead, a wild back and forth developed with degrees on both sides. In order to regain more control, Baumgart brought on top scorer Modeste, Salih Özcan and shortly afterwards Benno Schmitz, who are regulars in the Bundesliga. But even with the fresh forces, FC didn’t really build up pressure. HSV defended skillfully and caught many balls well in front of the dangerous zone.

There was no further class difference to be seen, the Hamburgers became more and more courageous as the game progressed. And when FC did get chances, as with Modeste’s header (77′), Heuer Fernandes was there. In extra time, Glatzel struck at the first chance. Köln were looking for an answer and found it late through Modeste after a foul by Sebastian Schonlau. But in the penalty shoot-out, HSV had the better end for themselves.

1860 Munich – Karlsruher SC 0: 1 (0: 0)

After a work win, Karlsruher SC is in the DFB Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 25 years. KSC won 1-0 (0-0) against the strong third division team 1860 Munich, Marvin Wanitzek scored the decisive goal for the second division tenth with a penalty kick (70th).

It was the duel of the cup nightmares: KSC had sensationally won at European Cup participants Bayer Leverkusen, surprisingly knocked out the second division teams Darmstadt 98 and Schalke 04 in 1860. In the ghost game in Giesing, KSC had more possession of the ball and won more duels, but initially did not have the better opportunities. For a long time there was little offensive from guests – the only serious advance in the first half was a free kick from Philip Heise (40th). Marcel Bär (10th) and Fabian Greilinger (13th), on the other hand, put Marius Gersbeck’s goal in greater danger for 1860.

After the break, KSC increased the pressure: Fabian Schleusener hit the goalpost from the left, and Lucas Cueto pushed the rebound over the line from a minimal offside position (51′). Karlsruhe now played more purposefully towards taking the lead, the hosts struggled to keep the game open. Greilinger finally jumped the ball on a KSC cross on the arm. A quarrelsome (the ball probably touched the foot in front of the arm and was deflected), but in the end justifiable situation.
