Berlin – The Bundesliga club did not show any nakedness in the first round games of the DFB Cup on Saturday afternoon and evening. Only 1. FC Union Berlin had to go into overtime to prevent the early retirement at Karlsruher SC. Nils Schlotterbeck scored the decisive goal in the 118th minute to make it 1-0 against the second division side.
RB Leipzig had previously prevailed 3-0 (1-0) against KSC league rivals 1. FC Nürnberg. Borussia Mönchengladbach gave the regional division FC Oberneuland no chance at 8-0 (5-0). So did the FC Augsburg, who defeated the upper division MTV Eintracht Celle 7-0 (2-0).
1. FC Köln had more trouble than expected in the 6-0 (3-0) against the fourth division club VSG Altglienicke from Berlin. The same was true for VfL Wolfsburg, who defeated Union Fürstenwalde 4-1 (2-1). Eintracht Frankfurt won the third division TSV 1860 Munich just 2-1 (0-0).
Hertha already retired
On Friday evening, Hertha BSC from Berlin was the first Bundesliga club to be eliminated by a 4: 5 at second division promoted Eintracht Braunschweig. Mainz 05 defeated TSV Havelse 5: 1 after being 0: 1 behind.
The SSV Ulm delivered a big surprise. The regional league beat the second division Erzgebirge Aue well deserved with 2-0 (1-0). Aues league competitor VfL Bochum made it better against the league club FV Engers from the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar and won 3-0 (1-0). Bundesliga relegated Fortuna Düsseldorf retained the upper hand at third division club FC Ingolstadt 1-0 (0-0).
The second division clubs SpVgg Greuther Fürth and VfL Osnabrück had a hard time: The Osnabrück team needed 77 minutes to score the winning goal for 1-0 (0-0) at the upper division SV Todesfelde in Schleswig Holstein. The Fürth were even 0: 1 behind against the Sauerland upper division club RSV Meinerzhagen. But they made it with the 1: 1 equalization in the extension, in which they then shot out a clear 6: 1 (1: 1.0: 0) against the exhausted guests.
Amateur clubs such as Fürstenwalde, Celle, Altglienicke, Engers, Meinerzhagen and Oberneuland as well as Havelse had waived their home rights because of the Corona restrictions and had traveled to the Bundesliga or second division clubs. Some games took place in front of a few spectators.
In the supposedly top-class game between the Bundesliga club from Leipzig and the second division club from Nuremberg, the guests hardly had any problems. In the duel between RB head coach Julian Nagelsmann and his former assistant Robert Klauß, the Saxons took the lead early on through Amadou Haidara (3rd). Substitute Yussuf Poulsen (67th) and Hee-Chan Hwang (90th) made everything clear.
Hector puts Cologne on track
FC Oberneuland suffered the greatest defeat. A double strike by Patrick Herrmann (13th / 14th) within a minute initiated the Gladbach scoring. Florian Neuhaus (52nd / 84th) also stood out as a double scorer.
VSG Altglienicke from Berlin performed more courageously in Cologne. The club from the Regionalliga Nordost held up well for a long time, but had to admit defeat in the end. A happily converted penalty from Jonas Hector (17th) put Cologne on the track. The most striking player was Elvis Rexhbecaj, who scored in the 36th and 63rd minutes.
It was exciting at the ex-Bundesliga club 1860 Munich. The third division team embarrassed Frankfurt. André Silva (51st) and Bas Dost (56th) gave the Eintracht lead after the break. Phillipp Steinhart (79th) made the next goal with a penalty. But it wasn’t enough for more.
