Kiel (AP) - Bayern conqueror Holstein Kiel is in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup after another penalty crime thriller.
20 days after the coup against the cup defender from Munich, the "storks" prevailed 7: 6 (1: 1, 0: 0) against second division rivals Darmstadt 98 in the decisive shooting.
Simon Lorenz converted the decisive penalty.
Janni Serra (58th) for Kiel and Serdar Dursun (86th) for Darmstadt had scored in regular time.
For the last time, Kiel had been among the top eight teams in 2012.
The fireworks that had been set off behind the Holstein Stadium before kick-off did not take place on the lawn.
Despite an early opportunity from Fabian Reese (3rd), the hosts struggled to find their way into the game.
Darmstadt played courageously and could have taken the lead when ex-Kieler Mathias Honsak (9th) shot it from the post.

The third place in the table only gradually took control, but there were hardly any clear opportunities.
The shot by Alexander Mühling (15th) was too unplaced, Fabian Reese (16th) was separated from the ball fairly at the edge of the penalty area by Darmstadt goalkeeper Marcel Schuhe.
It is indicative that the “storks” 'lead resulted from a switchover situation.
Reese played the ball from his own half to Serra, who lobbed the ball nervously over shoes after a long sprint.
When Dursun, who had been substituted three minutes earlier, equalized, the Hessen benefited from a mistake by Holstein keeper Ioannis Gelios.
In the penalty shootout, the 28-year-old German-Greek mutated into a hero again with two shots saved.
