The regional division Rot-Weiss Essen had already defeated Arminia Bielefeld in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, now the outsider has also defeated the second division from Düsseldorf - the reward is the move into the second round.
This means that the front-runner in Regionalliga West remains unbeaten across all leagues in the last game of the year.
When the ball was lost, Essen switched to Dennis Grote, who pushed the ball to Simon Engelmann.
Goalkeeper Rapahel Wolf was in the short corner, but got the ball from the striker through his legs (15th).
Fortuna's striker Rouwen Hennings only briefly equalized (36th), before captain Marco Kehl-Gomez took the lead back with his head (39th).
Fortuna made too many mistakes on the defensive even after the break.
Substitute Oguzhan Kefkir made the decision (70th).
Hennings' subsequent goal after a penalty kick came too late (87.)
In Wolfsburg, on the other hand, there was no surprise: The Bundesliga club prevailed against the second division club from Sandhausen due to several corona cases despite a lack of personnel.
Yannick Gerhardt scored the leading goal (27th).
After that, things went well for the Wolfsburg team: Just three minutes later, the lead was extended by a header from striker Wout Weghorst.
João Victor brought the decision with his third goal in this cup competition (41st).
Weghorst finished with his second goal that evening (90th).
