So far, the Hamburgers are a little higher than the billy goats. At least at the moment, Cologne is looking for the quick changeover moments.

The subsequent standard from the left half-field sails in high in front, but does not cause any danger.

Lex picks up speed on the left of midfield. On his way to the middle he is fouled by Kobald and the sixties get their first free kick.
: Hamburg3
18:34
Moritz Heyer crosses from the right corner of the penalty area in front of the goal. Glatzel is lurking there, but the striker misses the pass by a meter or two.
: Karlsruhe3
18:34
Karlsruhe immediately takes control of what is happening. However, Munich are defensively good and do not allow anything.
: Hamburg2
18:32
Dejan Ljubicic breaks through on the left for the first time, but his pass to the backcourt gets stuck on a defender. On the other side, the Hanseatic League’s first counterattack fails when Alidou loses the ball.

Here we go! The guests toast and play in yellow and red jerseys. 1860 Munich counters this in the usual blue and white.
: Hamburg1

The teams gather in the catacombs of the RheinEnergieStadion. After all, 750 spectators are allowed to spread out across the stands.
: Hamburg18:21
Daniel Schlager was appointed referee for this game. The 32-year-old bank clerk is assisted by Sven Waschitzki and Arno Blos with the flags in their hands.
: Karlsruhe18:21
The direct comparison of the two traditional clubs is extremely balanced. After 75 encounters, the lions are slightly ahead with 30 wins. KSC has won 29 times and drawn 16 times. In the DFB Cup, however, this duel only happened once. In August 2016, TSV had the upper hand 2-1.
: Karlsruhe18:16
Also at Karlsruher SC there is only one change in the starting eleven. Tim Breithaupt replaces Ricardo van Rhijn, who is initially on the bench, in the starting line-up.
: Karlsruhe18:14
In the first encounter of the year, 1860 was able to provide a small highlight. The Munich team turned a 2-0 deficit against SV Wehen Wiesbaden and actually managed to win 3-2 in the end. The lions scored all three goals from standards. Compared to this spectacle, Michael Köllner makes a change. Erik Tallig starts for the injured Marius Willsch.
: Hamburg18:13
It is the 108th game between 1. FC Köln and Hamburger Sportverein. In eight duels in the DFB Cup, the away team only prevailed once: in 1953 Cologne won 1:3 after extra time. Cologne and Hamburg last met in the 2018/19 season when the teams drew 1-1 at the RheinEnergieStadion.
: Hamburg18:05
HSV coach Tim Walter moves closer to the starting eleven. Only Jan Gyamerah and David Kinsombi have to sit on the bench after the sobering 1-1 draw at Dynamo Dresden. Miro Muheim and Manuel Wintzheimer start for the two.
: Karlsruhe18:02
Karlsruhe are also in form. They are unbeaten in three games in the league. Most recently there was a 2:2 against second-placed Darmstadt. The KSC even scored the supposed 3:2 lead goal. However, Schleusener was just offside when it was created. KSC has also proven its ability in the cup. In the first round, Baden celebrated a 4:1 win against Sportfreunde Lotte. This was followed by a surprising 2-1 win in Leverkusen. Now Christian Eichner and his squad are dreaming of reaching the quarter-finals for the first time since the 1996/97 season. At that time, the journey even ended in the semi-finals.
: Hamburg17:57
Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart rotated to six positions compared to the game against Munich. With Benno Schmitz, Salih Özcan, Florian Kainz, Ondrej Duda, Louis Schaub and Anthony Modeste, some regular players are currently on the bench. Kingsley Ehizibue, Jannes Horn, Dejan Ljubicic, Kingsley Schindler, Sebastian Andersson and Jan Thielmann start for this. Goalkeeper Timo Horn is having a hard time, who was supposed to replace Schwäbe again, but is not yet fit after a corona infection.
: Hamburg17:50
In the cup, HSV can distract themselves from everyday league life, which repeatedly causes tense nerves. As fifth in the table, the Rothosen would like to cause a little surprise in Cologne today and thus get new impetus for league two. It is Hamburg’s first Bundesliga opponents this season, having previously eliminated Eintracht Braunschweig and 1. FC Nürnberg (on penalties).
: Karlsruhe17:48
1860 Munich goes into the game as an outsider in the third division. However, they have already proven several times this season that they feel quite comfortable in the role. On the way to the round of 16, they already knocked out two teams from the 2nd Bundesliga. They started with a 5-4 win on penalties against SV Darmstadt and in the second round they beat FC Schalke 04 1-0. The self-confidence of the lions is correspondingly high, and they also have a small run of three wins in a row. So the chances of another coup by the sixties are very good.
: Hamburg17:39
Cologne is fresh from the almost obligatory defeat against Bayern Munich and is now focusing on the cup again. In this competition, the surprise team from the Bundesliga has beaten Carl Zeiss Jena and Vfb Stuttgart so far, but had to go on penalties for the fourth division team from Jena. In round two, guaranteed goal Anthony Modeste scored twice for a late but relatively easy win.
