1. FC Köln were eliminated in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup. At 4: 3 (2: 2, 2: 2) after a penalty shoot-out in second division Jahn Regensburg, the Cologne team fought for a long time with the referee and with themselves. Alexander Meyer saved a penalty in regulation time and one in the penalty shoot-out. Jannes Horn from Cologne also failed.
New striker Emmanuel Dennis had secured an early and comfortable lead in the Regensburg rain, not least with his first goal for Cologne. When he wisely let a deep pass run down his legs and sent teammate Ismail Jakobs in the direction of the first goal (4th). And then he was hit in the penalty area after a strong corporal deception (22nd).
Even Scott Kennedy’s intermediate goal (35th) did not seem to unsettle Cologne. Five minutes later, the ball was back at the Regensburg Gate; Benno Schmitz had headed a Jannes Horn cross to the furthest angle (40º).
Offside decision issues
However, after extensive review by the video assistant, the success was withdrawn. Horn stood in front of his flank on an offside shot attempt, which a Regensburg defender had cleared. Because there was apparently a goal defense reaction, Regensburger’s contact did not count, unlike Tuesday’s cup match between Dortmund and Paderborn in a situation that was at least similar in terms of rules.
In keeping with this, Cologne received the tie a few minutes later. Jann George had passed goalkeeper Timo Horn after Andreas Albers dropped his head (43.). For the rainy night the Cologne team spent in Regensburg, it was also fitting that Dennis missed a hand penalty against Regensburg goalkeeper Meyer (78th). In extra time, Cologne was decisive for the game, but nothing really came out.
On the penalty shoot-out, Max Besuschkow converted the decisive shot. They are the first quarter-finals in the history of the Regensburg club.
