A car parade in honor of Holstein Kiel, a horn concert, a few firecrackers and even pyroforches.

When does that happen in the far north, where they usually tend to be economical with their emotions?

Where a "Moin" for "good morning", "good day" and "good evening" is enough, whoever says "Moin, Moin" is already considered a chatterbox and "Jo" is a complete sentence with subject, predicate and object.

But now more than that had to come out, just as drunk as after being promoted to the second division in 2017. Oh, how nice it is again.

The appearance of Bavaria as an emotional chest loosener.

Who would have thought that?

DFB-Pokal, record champions against provincial club from the handball stronghold, in itself a clear thing.

Just not that evening.

Not in the condition in which the Munich star ensemble is currently.

Above all, not with this Kiel troop this winter, actually for the whole season.

They are third, attacking the established ones in their league - and now also the defending champion.

Equalization to 2: 2 in stoppage time, courageous in extra time, nervous on penalties.

Bayern out, Kiel in the round of 16 and some of their fans no longer in the TV chair, but in the car around the stadium.

"We are happy that with a good game and a corresponding historical result for Holstein Kiel we were able to do our part to create a good atmosphere on the street," said coach Ole Werner, also one of the faction of the North German sober types.

Born in Preetz, around 17 kilometers from the Schleswig-Holstein capital.

The success in Kiel with a view to Bavaria is extraordinary in many ways.

For the first time in more than 20 years, Bayern failed in the second round of the DFB Cup.

The defeat in Kiel was also the first in 17 years against a lower class club.

The Kiel, on the other hand, could now add the game against league rivals Darmstadt 98 to their schedule at the beginning of February.

Even Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU), a member of the Bayern Munich club, confessed to the "loud roar" after the 6: 5.

"It was really a sensational game to stand up to Bayern Munich from a really well-positioned defense," he said.

Serge Gnabry (14th) from offside position, video evidence is not planned in the second round of the cup and Leroy Sané (48th) with a free kick gave Bayern Munich two lead.

The Kielers, who played most of the time at eye level, equalized with Fin Bartels (37th) and captain Hauke ​​Wahl seconds before the final whistle.

Bartels finally converted the decisive penalty against national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Munich's Marc Roca had previously failed due to Holstein keeper Ioannis Gelios.

It was Holstein's hussar piece.

Bartels closed a gap in his professional career.

In the 13th game he managed to win against Bayern.

Neither with Hansa Rostock, FC St. Pauli or Werder Bremen, the now 33-year-old had a sense of achievement against the Munich team.

The Kiel native returned to his home club in summer 2020.

One of the success factors for the soaring in Kiel.

In the past few years they had invested a lot in the club's infrastructure.

Better training conditions, expansion of the stadium.

This season the course was adjusted a little differently, Bundesliga legs instead of stones.

Bartels came, as did Joshua Mees from Union Berlin.

In addition, Jae-sung Lee was not sold, although it was the last chance to cash in again with the South Korean international.

He didn't want to extend his contract and will go on a free transfer this summer.

For those in charge of the club, the sporting bull market is in any case no coincidence, but rather the fulfillment of the plan thanks to Holstein's down-to-earth attitude.

Economically, the club is well positioned thanks to potent and, above all, level-headed financiers, the country’s major corporations sit on the supervisory board and the team on the pitch is armed for some storms thanks to a high level of identification with the club.

In any case, the city of Kiel knew what it owed after this game: Instead of the national flag, Mayor Ulf Kämpfer had the club flag hoisted on Thursday.
