So after seeing what was going on in Magdeburg and before in Rostock ... then just open the standing room again.
Seriously.
Annoying so hard.

What kind of security concept is that with #FCMSVD?
Then leave it straight away.
Why does everyone have to sit in the same stand?
Makes no sense at all

11. Minute: Magdeburg - Darmstadt: We have the same scenario in Magdeburg as in Rostock.
At Hansa there were 7,500 spectators, there was not much to be seen of the distance rules due to Corona.
At the FCM, 5,000 fans follow the game against the Darmstadters, here too the supporters stand close together in the stands, most of them without face masks, and when they do, it hangs half-heartedly under the chin.
The differences in how the corona pandemic is dealt with in German professional football are simply huge.
This is an impressive example of this DFB Cup round.
As with Hansa Rostock against VfB Stuttgart, there is also plenty of criticism this time on social media, especially on Twitter.
9. Minute: Magdeburg - Darmstadt: Good opportunity for the Hessen!
According to a standard, the FCM keeper must clarify with his fist.
5th Minute: Wiesbaden - Heidenheim: Best weather for the second division relegated from Hessen.
After the missed promotion to the Bundesliga, Heidenheim now wants to really get started in the DFB Cup.
Neat mood here!
Let's go in Magdeburg 💯 #FCMSVD #DFBPokal pic.twitter.com/2splfX0JVU

2. Minute: Magdeburg - Darmstadt: Setback for the home team.
Storm tank Beck has to go straight out with an ice pack around his ankle.
In Magdeburg, too, there is a good atmosphere in the stands, with almost 5,000 spectators.
1. Minute: It starts with the three evening games in Mannheim, Magdeburg and Wehen!
Update, 6:18 p.m.: Jahn Regensburg decides the second penalty shoot-out this afternoon against 1. FC Kaiserslautern 4-3 for himself and also moves into the next round of the competition.
DFB Cup in the live ticker: 1899 Hoffenheim and Sebastian Hoeneß are in the next round
Update, 6.12 p.m.: Sebastian Heoeneß is in the second round of the DFB Cup with 1899 Hoffenheim! The new team of the nephew of FCB honorary president Uli Hoeneß prevailed in the penalty shootout 3-2 against regional division Chemnitzer FC.
The East Germans had forced the big favorite first into extra time and then into the penalty decision. Then it got really dramatic: Two shooters per team failed before Bickel screwed up the decisive shot.

Do the Hoeneß boys have to go to penalties?
Time is running out of the clock ...

So it gives the impression that the third division team has a lot more of the game.
Chemnitz - Hoffenheim in the live ticker: Sebastian Hoeneß celebrates the equalization
111th minute: Tooooorrrr !! Chemnitz - Hoffenheim 2: 2, goal scorer: Kramaric. The fouled competes himself and cleans the ball dry.

The regional league now plays like liberated.
And the team of Sebastian Hoeneß, the nephew of the FCB honorary president, staggered tremendously.
101st Minute: Kaiserslautern - Regensburg: The next chance for 1. FCK!
But the ball goes towards the upper tier.
Jahn is staggering seriously and currently has little to counter.
100th minute: Toooooooorrrr !! Chemnitz - Hoffenheim 2: 1, goal scorer: Bickel. THE - GATE - FOR - THE - OUTSIDE! And what a ping pong goal. After a throw-in, the ball is placed finely on him and he actually hits the bottom right with the outer foot. Badly defended by the Bundesliga club. How does coach Sebastian Hoeneß react?
Oh man ...

Kraus heads the ball into the box.
But he is said to have stood a few centimeters offside.
Tricky scene and protests from the Palatinate.
95th Minute: Chemnitz - Hoffenheim: After consulting his assistant, the referee takes back the decision - brave! Or wrong? Gacinovic is actually clearly hit.

DFB Cup in the live ticker: Hoffenheim and Sebastian Hoeneß have to go into overtime in Chemnitz
90th minute + 5: End, off, final whistle on all seats! Two games must go into overtime. Kaiserslautern against Regensburg, and Chemnitz against Hoffenheim must or may be detained, depending on your perspective.
90th minute +4: Hansa Rostock - VfB Stuttgart: The game is over!
Several Hanseatics storm referee Zwayer because he can no longer take a corner kick.
The Swabians are in the next round.
90th minute + 3: huge excitement in Rostock!
The Hanseatic League want to have seen a handball by VfB in the penalty area.
But then the Hansa keeper clearly presses an opponent from Stuttgart - and sees the yellow card for complaining.
7,500 spectators whistle what it takes.
89th Minute: Chemnitz - Hoffenheim: What a drama! The ball is in the goal of the East Germans, but four Kraichgauer are offside. The team of referees paid attention, Hoeneß nephew Sebastian paces nervously through his coaching zone.
87th Minute: Kaiserslautern - Regensburg: huge chance for the Upper Palatinate!
But giant parade from the keeper of the Lauterer.
Is that exciting in the Palatinate!
84th Minute: Hansa Rostock - VfB Stuttgart: The Hanseatics keep on running like wild, maybe too wild.
The Swabians, on the other hand, defend soberly - they just want to keep the lead over time.
Either way: The corona hygiene concept for this game will be questioned afterwards, that much can already be assumed.
What’s going on in Rostock is just annoying.
I'm not interested in distorting competition or visiting fans, but standing shoulder to shoulder in the stadium without MNS is irresponsible.
I would like to see the hygiene concept.

But some actions seem too hasty and hectic.
Everything is open here.
72nd Minute: Chemnitz - Hoffenheim: The CFC is very compact in its own half, there is no getting through for the Hoeneß protégés.
The people of Baden play the ball back and forth, the only thing is that the last pass into the box is missing.

71st Minute: Hansa Rostock - VfB Stuttgart: 7,500 spectators whip the Hanseatic forward.
The third division is not giving up, the supposedly overpowering VfB, on the other hand, is swimming.
It was definitely not a great game here and today by the Swabians.
67th Minute: Tooooooorrrr !! Elversberg - St. Pauli 4: 1, goal scorer: Schnellbacher. What's going on here? The regional league from the Saarland leads against the second division from the Hanseatic city with three goals difference. The Elversbergers play like unleashed in front of a few hundred spectators. The Hamburgers, on the other hand, are literally going under.
57 .: "SANTA PAULI! SANKT PAULI!"
it is echoing here in Elversberg from the grandstands.

59th Minute: Chemnitz - Hoffenheim 1: 1, goal scorer: Freiberger. Setback for Sebastian Hoeneß! The Munich team received the equalizer against the blatant outsider. This has been suggested, the CFC is running here and now, as if it were going against relegation. Respect!
53rd Minute: Hansa Rostock - VfB Stuttgart: The mood is really good in the Ostseestadion, despite the backlog.
Many supporters should be happy to go back to the arena.
But with a view to the corona pandemic, something remains, as they say in Swabian.
The Württemberg Swabians continue to lead just under 1-0.

50th Minute: Hansa Rostock - VfB Stuttgart: On social media, especially on Twitter, there are increasing critical voices as to why Rostock can be played in front of 7,500 spectators and why other stadiums remain completely empty.
Pictures from the Ostseestadion suggest that not every fan takes the Corona distance rules so seriously.
Is that really still fair?
Is it really still a competition?
48th minute: Tooooooorrrr !! Chemnitz - Hoffenheim 0: 1, goal scorer: Kramaric. Relief for Uli Hoeneß's nephew, Sebastian Hoeneß. His Hoffenheimers take the lead after a rough first half in the third division relegated team.

Meanwhile, there is a lot of excitement on social media because of the many spectators in the Ostseestadion, who apparently do not really adhere to the propagated distance rules. One user comments on Twitter: "It's a joke what's going on." Another user asks: "Is there no corona in Rostock?"

sports director
Jochen Schneider
criticized
the reaction of the Bavarian Football Association (BFV) to the judicial proceedings of
Türkgücü Munich
.
"I would like to expressly emphasize at this point that my criticism only refers to the association, but not to Türkgücü Munich," said Schneider in an interview with Sport1 (Sunday).
“That's why I can't understand why the Bavarian Football Association is now trying to look for the mistake at Türkgücü.
It is simply not understandable why the Bavarian representative was only appointed a week before the first round of the DFB Cup. "
The District Court of Munich I had previously decided that the third division side Türkgücü could play against
FC Schalke 04
as the Bavarian representative instead of the regional division Schweinfurt
.
The game planned for Sunday was
postponed
until the dispute was
resolved

This is "of course annoying," affirmed Schneider.
