German Cup: Three goals in a row for Leipzig and Opinda, as Geraerts exits after extra time | DFB Pokal

Karel Geraerts was unable to continue the good trend this weekend. In his first home match as coach of Schalke 04, he beat Hannover 3-2, but in the cup his team lost mercilessly to St. Pauli.

The commander of the German 2nd Division rose above Geraerts and his followers. Schalke took the lead after 16 minutes through Kaminski, but the home side were awarded a penalty on the hour mark – converted by a busy Hartel – and struck the final blow deep into extra time.

There is still work to be done by the Belgian coach at Schalke, who occupies only 16th place in the German second division.

Leipzig will not win a third cup in a row. The defending champion fell in the second round at Wolfsburg.

Fifteen minutes earlier, Wolfsburg took the lead, with Bornau and Franks in the starting line-up, thanks to Cerny. Leipzig searched for an equalizer, but that did not succeed. For example, Openda’s attempt flew off after twenty minutes.

In the second half, things became more difficult for the visitors after Yossi’s red card. With 10, the cup holder can no longer reverse the position. The Grail adventure ends too soon for Openda and his partners.

Cup holders Leipzig survived their first mission against Wiesbaden, which plays in the second division, but the matter was not very convincing. Leipzig, where Obinda started on the bench, led 0-2, but the second division side proved to be a difficult customer. Wiesbaden is back to 1-2.

Cisco thought he had won with his second goal of the evening (1-3), but the equalizer came again. Leipzig goalkeeper Golaxy had to make a few saves, but in the end the score remained 2-3 on the board.

Bayern Munich did not have to give their best to reach the 1/16 World Cup finals. Bayern easily won 0-4 at Munster, which plays in the third division. Pawns like Harry Kane were saved, and Choupo-Moting, Laimer, Kratzig and Till took honors on the scoreboard.

Eye-catching: At half-hour, visiting fans bombarded the court with tennis balls (and some apples). They protested against the date of this match.

Bayern played tonight, not like the other teams participating in the cup in mid-August, before the start of the competition. Bayern had to play the German Super Cup this weekend. He lost that game to RB Leipzig, which should turn on Wednesday evening.
