Substitute Valdrin Mustafa (74th minute) made the decisive goal, having already knocked Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen out of the cup with SV Elversberg and Viktoria Köln.
Led by outstanding new signing Keke Topp, Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen effortlessly played its way into the second round of the DFB Cup.
In the 3-1 (2-0) win against the hopeless third division team Energie Cottbus, the 20-year-old centre-forward scored all of Bremen’s goals (32nd/37th/55th minute). Henry Rorig (70th) made his own fans cheer at least once with a direct free kick. Cottbus attacker Romario Hajrulla (78th) was shown the red card after sliding into Werder goalkeeper Michael Zetterer with his outstretched leg.
VfL Wolfsburg has completed its mandatory task in the DFB Cup and has moved into the second round. The Bundesliga football club defeated TuS Koblenz 1-0 (1-0) on Monday evening. The only goal in Koblenz’s Oberwerth Stadium was scored by Patrick Wimmer in the 15th minute in front of around 8,000 spectators.
