sport">Leverkusen took the lead in the eighth final in the 105th minute thanks to Leon Bailey. The number 5 of the Bundesliga then thought a little too early for a place in the last eight. “We have missed too many opportunities”, Bosz mourned.
sport">“We have had that problem for a while”, he referred to the recent defeats against Wolfsburg (0-1) and Leipzig (1-0). “But after our goal, we should never have given up the game here again. Our position play was insufficient, we had no rest and failed to make the second goal from the counter. No, this was just really bad. ”
sport">Bosz did not want to apologize in Essen. “It was not the field, not the rain and not the opponent, it was up to us. Rot-Weiss has deservedly won. ”
Put on display
sport">Bayer Leverkusen thus put itself in the eighth finals of the German cup tournament. Bosz’s team went down shamefully at Rot-Weiss Essen, which comes out on the fourth level. After extra time, the game ended in 2-1 for the stunting home team.
sport">Bailey provided the opening goal on behalf of Leverkusen in the 105th minute. Bosz was able to breathe a sigh of relief for a moment, but 3 minutes later it was already right again by a goal by Oguzhan Kefkir. Simon Engelmann was the hero of Rot-Weiss Essen with his winning goal in the 117th minute.
sport">At Leverkusen, defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah played the entire game. Jeremie Frimpong came in in the second overtime. Daley Sinkgraven stayed on the bench.
Less period

sport">Leverkusen reached the final of the German cup tournament last season. Bayern Munich was too strong in that, 4-2.
Overtime for Borussia Dortmund
sport">Borussia Dortmund has reached the quarter-finals in the German cup tournament with the necessary overtime. The number 6 of the Bundesliga gave away a 2-0 lead against SC Paderborn, mid-engine in the second Bundesliga, in the regular playing time. Thanks to Erling Haaland it still went well in extra time: 3-2.
sport">Dortmund seemed to have an easy evening thanks to quick hits from Emre Can and Jadon Sancho. In the final phase, however, SC Paderborn benefited from a reduced concentration at the home club. Julian Justvan made it 2-1 and deep into extra time Prince-Osei Owusu forced another surprising extension. Haaland prevented a failure for his team.
