Türkgücü Munich qualified for the DFB Cup on penalties.
A firecracker before the supposedly decisive penalty from Illertissen causes trouble.
Petr Ruman had to laugh out loud first.
Process what you have experienced.
“I have to be honest, who came up with that shit, penalty shootout?
That's amazing, ”said the coach from Türkgücü Munich *.
Shortly before, his team had defeated the regional league club from Illertissen 8: 7 on penalties.
However, an action by the Turkgücü fans who traveled with them caused a stir.
Before Fabio Maiolo's penalty - a hit would have meant Illertissen's victory - a firecracker exploded in the guest block.
Türkgücü's goalkeeper Frank Flückinger was able to parry, the Munich team then secured victory in the final of the Totopokal and thus their first entry into the DFB Cup.
Firecrackers on penalties: FV Illertissen is annoyed - Ruman understands
“It's crazy when something like this happens right before the shot. That pulls everyone out of the phase of concentration. It's completely logical that the ball won't go in, ”said Illertissen player Lukas Rietzler. However, the team of referees decided not to have the penalty repeated. “It's not nice, I'll admit that,” said Ruman: “But on the other hand, when you shoot a penalty in front of 50,000 spectators, it's not exactly quiet either. The fans are part of football. "
With the entry into the DFB-Pokal *, a dream has come true for President Hasan Kivran's club, which burst in court after a week-long farce last year.
In Illertissen there was another player for Türkgücü who was actually almost gone: Sercan Sararer.
"It is a big sign to all other clubs in the 3rd and even in the 2nd division when a player like Sararer chooses our club and extends the contract," said Ruman.
Contract until 2024: Will Sararer fulfill his wish from the 2nd Bundesliga with Türkgücü Munich?
Before the labor court it quickly became clear that there was no agreement on a possible transfer fee for the top scorer from Türkgücü.
A hearing in front of the chamber, which probably would not have taken place until November, would not have been a suitable solution for both parties.
Sararer consultant Michael Ruhnau traveled to Munich and negotiated with Kothny for over four days.
“It was a hanging game,” says Ruman.
With Türkgücü, Sararer can now fulfill his wish to play at a higher level again.
The new contract runs until 2024, and the ambitious Munich team want to play in the 2nd Bundesliga * until 2023.
