Trailed Three Times! Wolfsburg's Nervy Win Against Fourth-Tier Side
The relegated Bundesliga side narrowly avoids a cup exit in the first round, only securing progression to round two in the penalty shootout.
VfL Wolfsburg almost suffered an embarrassing defeat in the first round of the DFB-Pokal!
The relegated Bundesliga side won away against regional league team VSG Altglienicke 6:5 in a penalty shootout. After 120 minutes, the score was 3:3.
Wolfsburg demonstrated comeback qualities. The underdog led three times through goals from Nietfeld (6th minute), Saliger (71st), and Ibrahimi (109th). But VfL found the right answer three times. Arnold with a brace (55th/83rd) and Wahl (117th) rescued the "Wolves" and sent the match to a penalty shootout.
There, the favorites then held their nerve. Ibrahimi missed the decisive penalty, while Fischer converted, sending Wolfsburg into the second round.
Cologne and Hamburg Advance
Bundesliga clubs Hamburger SV and 1. FC Köln have secured their place in the second round.
HSV comfortably defeated third-tier SC Verl 3:0 on Monday. The final goal was scored by 16-year-old Louis Lemke.
Cologne, meanwhile, narrowly avoided embarrassment. After trailing at halftime, Isak Johannesson turned the game around against third-division promoted side Würzburger Kickers with a brace, securing a 2:1 victory for Cologne.
