Bundesliga club FC St. Pauli has reached the second round of the DFB Cup with great effort. The Kiezkickers won as guests at the Millerntor at home 3-2 in a penalty shootout (0: 0, 0: 0) against the Hamburg cup winner Eintracht Norderstedt, who sold expensive.
St. Pauli’s goalkeeper parried the last penalty of Norderstedts Jonas Beiunek and made relief in the Millerntor Stadium, which was the backdrop of this trophy crime novel due to the exchange of the right of home. Norderstedt sold more than just expensive over 120 minutes, but in the end the fourth league kickers failed from the point in the duel. St. Pauli, who were superior, got away again with a blue eye.
The “hosts” from Regionalliga Nord left the Braun-Weißen from kick-off to the field and were only in their own half. St. Pauli knew how to do the ball possession enough to constantly employ the fourth division club. Noel Fujita, who was the linchpin of the game of the Bundesliga club, hit the post with a deflected shot (7th). Hauke Wahl (8th) and Mathias Pereira Lage (21st) also failed with their experiments on Eintracht keeper Lars Huxsohl.
Adders to opportunities through St. Pauli
At the end of the first phase of the game, however, the Kiezkicker operated opportunities for opportunities. Pereira Lage (30th) and Andreas Hountondji (31st) awarded a top -class double option, then David Nemeth missed the long overdue leadership for the team of coach Alexander Blessin (32nd). The end pointed the end of Danel Sinani, sailing the free kick flank past friend and enemy and landing on the post (35th).
Eintracht keeper Huxsohl grows beyond itself
There was also a game of patience for the first division club in the second round. Hountondji (49.), Sinani (51., 55) and Pereira Lage (53.) failed due to his own inconsistency or Norderstedt’s goalkeeper Huxsohl, which grew beyond himself. The fans of the brown-whites tackled their hair with increasing. Your team was oppressive, but did not put the ball in the goal. After further big chance by Louis Oppie (71.) and Sinani (73.), many shook their heads in disbelief in the Millerntor.
What was missing after two posts, numerous blocked shots and parades by Eintracht keeper Huxsohl still in the unfortunate repertoire of the Kiezkicker? Right, a shot on the crossbar. Pereira was delivered in the 82nd minute, his shot slammed to the underside of the crossbeam and jumped up in front of the goal line. The fourth division’s housing – it remained nailed for the district association.
Norderstedt has the sensation on the foot
So it went into the extension, at the beginning of which Norderstedt’s Manuel Brendel almost turned the game upside down. The just substituted offensive player shot a few meters above the FCSP goal. On the other hand, the Bundesliga club once again failed due to the multi-legged defense of Eintracht: the shots of Sinani and Oladapo Afolayan only met the legs of Abdul-Malik Yago and Moritz Frahm (92.).
The fourth division played the time in the cards, who hoped for a penalty shootout and remained with his compact defensive tactics. Instead of the fourth division club, St. Pauli was a bit surprising, the Kiezkicker could hardly perform any constructive offensive actions. Instead, St. Pauli keeper Nikola Vasilj saved the penalty shootout against Ezra Ampofo (120th). There the Bosnian became a celebrated man again.
