Dortmund (AP) – Borussia Dortmund has struggled to reach the round of 16 of the DFB Cup.
For a long time, the dominant defending champion lacked ideas on Tuesday evening against FC Ingolstadt, but substitute Thorgan Hazard redeemed his team with a brace (72nd / 81st) against the bottom of the 2nd football team in 2-0 (0-0) -Bundesliga.
SC Freiburg made it more exciting at 5: 4 (2: 2, 1: 1) after penalties, but continued against third division club VfL Osnabrück. After Philipp Kühn’s excursion from the VfL goal was punished by Vincenzo Grifo (33rd), Lukas Gugganig headed the outsider into extra time and Sebastian Klaas completed a solo to make it 2-1 (108th). In the majority, Ba-Muaka Simakala saw yellow-red (117th), Keven Schlotterbeck equalized for the sports club (120th) and goalkeeper Benjamin Uphoff held three attempts from Osnabrück on penalties.
HSV wins in Nuremberg
There was also a penalty shoot-out between 1. FC Nürnberg and Hamburger SV, who got the upper hand 4: 2 (1: 1, 1: 1). In the regular season, Jonas David headed the North Germans into the lead (45th) and Taylan Duman equalized (59th). Then it was David again who became the hero of the evening. However, injuries overshadowed the second division duel. Both Hamburg’s Tim Leibold and Tom Krauss from Nuremberg had to be transported on a stretcher.
Even in extra time, 1. FSV Mainz 05 secured progress with a 3: 2 (0: 1.2: 2) against Arminia Bielefeld. First, Masaya Okugawa took the Rheinhessen by surprise (2nd), before Jonathan Burkhardt and Karim Onisiwo turned the game after the restart (53rd / 59th). Bielefeld came through Fabian Klos to 2-2 (89th). In extra time, Marcus Ingvartsen made the decision (114th).
RB Leipzig had already had a hard time with SV Babelsberg from the fourth division. Last year’s finalist ran 1-0 (1-0) over the entire season, but only Dominik Szoboszlai scored (45th).
1860 throws Schalke out
TSV 1860 Munich managed a surprise. The lions prevailed against the last form strong FC Schalke 04 with 1-0 (1-0). Guest coach Dimitrios Grammozis did without striker Simon Terodde in the starting line-up in Munich. That took revenge, because the home side were rewarded directly for their strong opening minutes. Stefan Lex scored after five minutes. In addition, Schalke’s Malick Thiaw flew off with red (48th).
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim benefited from two own goals in their 5-1 (2-0) home win against Holstein Kiel. First, Johannes van den Bergh maneuvered the ball over the line (3rd). After 31 minutes, an attempt by Captain Hauke Wahl to clarify the situation failed. Even Phil Neumann’s subsequent goal did not initiate the turnaround (48th), because Angelo Stiller (59th), Munas Dabbur (72nd) and Jacob Bruun Larsen (84th) answered for the Kraichgauer.
Hertha BSC had a harder time. At 3: 1 (1: 1) at SC Preußen Münster, the club from the capital took the lead through Stefan Jovetic (3rd). The regional league fought back and came through Thorben Deters to equalize (41st). Only four minutes later, the Prussians weakened themselves, because Nicolai Remberg saw the yellow-red card after a swallow. Ishak Belfodil (79th) and Marco Richter (83rd) secured the advancement of the Berliners outnumbered.
