Great tension in the DFB Cup matches in the early evening.
Three of the four games go into overtime.
Both at Bochum against Augsburg and at Waldhof Mannheim against Union Berlin and at Dynamo Dresden against FC St. Pauli it is a draw.
The games are still ongoing.
Only in Leverkusen was it over after regular time - with a real surprise.
Bayer Leverkusen was surprisingly eliminated in the second round of the DFB Cup.
The first division was defeated by Karlsruher SC 1: 2 (0: 1).
The downward trend at Bayer, which recently also became apparent in the Bundesliga, continues.
Bayer, who started with numerous injury concerns, ran after the second division side's 0-1 early on.
Lucas Cueto dusted off in the six-yard box after Bayer goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky was only able to fend off a header briefly.
As a result, the home side ran against the Karlsruher Tor with might, but with little effect.
The tour guide stopped for a break.
After the change, it initially seemed to be going according to the favorites, Jeremie Frimpong managed to equalize (54th minute), but KSC hit back a few minutes later.
Kyoung-rok Choi benefited from a serious mistake by Hradecky in the 63rd minute, which put the ball into his feet.
Bayer then brought two national players into the game with Kerem Demirbay and Florian Wirtz, but despite several chances, the KSC saved the lead over time.
