Eintracht Braunschweig – Hertha BSC 6:5 iE
Bundesliga club Hertha BSC once again made a fool of themselves in the first round of the DFB Cup and were eliminated at Eintracht Braunschweig despite an early 2-0 lead. The capital club lost 5:6 on penalties at the second division promoted team on Sunday. After extra time it was 4: 4 (2: 2, 2: 0). Berlin’s Marc Oliver Kempf missed the decisive penalty. Davie Selke (10′) and Myziane Maolida (42′) initially gave Berlin the lead before Brian Behrendt (63’/penalty) and Lion Lauberbach (66′) scored for Braunschweig. Shortly after the restart, Hertha even conceded the 2:3 through Immanuel Pherai (91st), before Lucas Tousart (103rd) and Dodi Lukebakio (105th) provided the lead again. But Bryan Henning’s goal (118th) resulted in a penalty shoot-out. (dpa)
