Bayern-Schreck Holstein Kiel also ended the cup fairy tale of Rot-Weiss Essen thanks to an unauthorized penalty and reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup for the first time in the club's history.

The second division had eliminated Bayern Munich in the second round and won 3-0 (2-0) in Essen.

In the second quarter-final attempt after 2012 it worked with the entry into the semifinals.

“At the moment I'm just flat and empty,” said Kiel's Fin Bartes, but of course he was also happy: “We toast and drink a beer or two.

The Kielers scored against the brisk outsider with a double strike within 113 seconds by Alexander Mühling (26th / foul penalty) and Janni Serra (28th).

However, the penalty whistle to make it 0-1 was a clear mistake.

“It's a huge scandal for me,” scolded Essen's CEO Marcus Uhlig during the break at Sky: “You wonder if everyone was asleep there.

And i am sure.

If the penalty isn't there, the 2-0 won't fall either. ”Joshua Mees scored the third goal in the 90th minute.
