Now only Bayern have to deal with it: Four other teams have made it into the second round of the cup – Hoffenheim only had trouble in extra time. One game is still pending.
Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim only fought their way into the second round of the DFB Cup in extra time thanks to Torgarant Andrej Kramaric and a lot of effort. The team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß prevailed on Monday evening at the third division club FC Viktoria Köln with 3: 2 (1: 1, 1: 1). Kramaric made the decision with his second goal in the 107th minute.
Borussia Mönchengladbach also lived up to their role as favorites in the late game. At the traditional third division club 1. FC Kaiserlautern, a goal from captain Lars Stindl in the eleventh minute was enough for the guests to advance in front of 5000 spectators on the Betzenberg.
Second division clubs Ingolstadt and Karlsruhe in round 2
Without detention, the second division clubs FC Ingolstadt and Karlsruher SC had progressed one round. Ingolstadt decided the league duel with the Saxons from Erzgebirge Aue 2-1 (1-0) for themselves. KSC had no problems with the 4-1 (1-0) at regional division Sportfreunde Lotte, meaning that 15 of 17 Bundesliga clubs have made it into the second round – only Greuther Fürth (at the fourth division Babelsberg) and Eintracht Frankfurt were eliminated. In the competitive debut of their new coach Oliver Glasner, the Hessians delivered a terrifyingly weak performance at the third division club SV Waldhof Mannheim and flew out of the competition due to the 0: 2 (0: 0) defeat.
