Rostock vs Berlin 2:2 OT, 3:4 PS 0:1 Luizao (35 Goor) 1:1 Lantz (63 Rydlewicz) 2:1 Lantz (109 Plassnegger) 2:2 Rafael (119 Marcelinho) PKs (with Hertha starting): Rydlewicz 1:1 Simunic Max (saved) 1:2 Mladenov Lantz 2:2 Schmidt (saved) Persson (over the bar) 2:3 Kovac Tjikuzu 3:3 Marcelinho (wide) Plassnegger (saved) 3:4 Wichniarek Hertha Coach Stevens survives the deadline to stay in office with this win, but he is suspended for the next two Bundesliga games… Burghausen vs Stuttgart 0:1 0:1 Szabics (56 Soldo) Weak first half, Stuttgart with a narrow but safe win in the second half. Bremen vs Wolfsburg 3:1 OT 0:1 Thiam (6 Karhan) 1:1 Ailton (55 Ernst) 2:1 Micoud (95 Charisteas) 3:1 Charisteas (101 -) Wolfsburg scored the first and only chance they had. Bremen was superior and should have decided the game much earlier. Micoud’s game winner was an absolute dream goal – got the ball 20m away from the box with the back to the goal, made a 180° move and scored with a volley shot under the bar. Wolfsburg Reserves vs Cologne 2:3 1:0 Janicki (35 -) 1:1 Springer (38 Lottner) 1:2 Frederico (39 Springer) 2:2 Janicki (69 Donkor) 2:3 Ebbers (88 Sinkala) Wolfsburg was very superior until they scored – the wake up call for Cologne. In the second half the game was pretty open and the decision would have dropped earlier if the ref had correctly counted a goal for Cologne, who advanced to the third round with two more than lucky wins against D4 teams. St Pauli vs Lübeck 2:3 OT 0:1 Groth (49 -) 1:1 Musci (56 Agu) 1:2 Zandi (97) 1:3 Schanda (101) 2:3 Hasse (109 own goal) St Pauli goalie Hollerieth saved a pk vs Zandi when the score was 1-1; the same duel cared for the decision after a harmless 25m shot. Bayern vs Nuremberg 1:1 OT, 7:6 PS 0:1 Vittek (11 Krzynowek) 1:1 Makaay (36 Ze Roberto) PKs (Bayern starting) Salihamidzic 1–1 Passlack Ballack (saved) 1-2 Krzynowek Deisler 2-2 Müller (saved) Santa Cruz 3-3 Vittek Makaay 4-4 Ciric Jeremies (saved) 4-4 Wolf (crossbar) Trochowski 5-5 Paulus Linke 6-6 Mintal Kovac 7-6 Nikl (saved) Bayern with a ridiculous pk win against an average BL2 club… Obvious was that Bayern was absolutely unable to create chances unless after free kicks and counter attacks…
Correction: Gibbs officialy scored St Pauli's 2:3 Result from this afternoon: Velbert vs Regensburg 1-2 OT 0-1 Stieglmaier 54 1-1 Kuchem 67 1-2 Paulinho 110
Mönchengladbach vs Dortmund 2:1 1:0 Demo (11 free kick) 2:0 Kolkka (24 van Lent) 2:1 Koller (88 pk Odonkor) Deserved win, Dortmund practically was not existing in the first 70 minutes… surprise #1 this evening Braunschweig vs Hannover 2:0 1:0 Thomas (46 Rische) 2.0 Rische (90 pk Sümnich) Braunschweig wins the local derby and kicks out the second Bundesliga club after Kaiserslautern... surprise #2 this evening. Thomas scored 11 seconds after the kickoff Unterhaching vs Hamburg 2:4 1:0 Römer (53 Strehmel) 1:1 Jarolim (58 Beinlich) 1:2 Maltritz (61 Beinlich) 1:3 Mahdavikia (69) 1:4 Romeo (73) 2:4 Copado (79 pk) Unterhaching was superior for 57 minutes, then Hamburg played soccer for a quarter hour and the game was decided. Frankfurt vs Duisburg 1:2 OT 1:0 Kreuz (4 Lexa) 1:1 Caca (44 free kick) 1:2 Ahanfouf (110 Bugera) Weak game, but surprise #3 this evening. Union Berlin vs Leverkusen 0:5 0:1 Balitsch (1 Juan) 0:2 Berbatov (24 Ponte) 0:3 Bierofka (63 Berbatov) 0:4 Berbatov (67 Bierofka) 0:5 Ponte (73 Neuville) The B’s score for a smooth win, the game winner happened after 34 seconds... Aachen vs 1860 Munich 1:1 OT, 5:4 PS 0:1 Lauth (11 pk Lauth) 1:1 Meijer (73 Pflipsen) Penalty Shootout (Aachen starts) Meijer 1-1 Lauth Krontiris 2-2 Görlitz Michalke 3-3 Weißenberger Pflipsen 4-4 Hoffmann Grlic 5-4 Meyer (saved) Open game until the last pk… surprise #4 this evening Freiburg vs Schalke 7:3 OT 1:0 Coulibaly (8 free kick) 1:1 Povlsen (37 Glieder) 2:1 Iashvili (42 Coulibaly) 2:2 Pinto (63 Hanke) 2:3 Trojan (68 Hanke) 3:3 Kruppke (84 Coulibaly) 4:3 Bajramovic (105 pk Cairo) 5:3 Coulibaly (108 Iashvili) 6:3 Coulibaly (112 Kruppke) 7:3 Iashvili (116 Coulibaly) Yellow-Red: Varela (105/Schalke) Not the outcome, but the result surely makes this game surprise #5 – to be fair, after an injury Schalke played the second half of the overtime with just 9 players. Siegen vs Fürth 1:2 OT 0:1 Hoffmann (18) 1:1 Weikl (63) 1:2 Weber (118) Hoffenheim vs Karlsruhe 4:0 1:0 Bindnagel (43) 2:0 Möckel (75) 3:0 Herdling (78) 4:0 Theres (85) No, Karlsruhe is the pro club… Surprise # 6 this evening 3rd round draw is on Sunday, games will be played in the first December week.
