Three Karlsruhers fail from the penalty spot, so that the North Germans ultimately win 5:4 after penalties.

HSV has a great chance to equalize in the 72nd minute.

Sonny Kittel fails from the penalty spot to KSC keeper Marius Gersbeck.

Christoph Kobald, who caused the penalty, has to leave the field with yellow-red, so that Baden are outnumbered in the final phase.

Referee Felix Zwayer's decision caused a lot of discussion.

Seconds before the final whistle, KSC had to concede the goal: Glatzel saved HSV into extra time.
