Mats Hummels and rolled her eyes. What he saw in that Moment, only he knows. It can’t have been Good. Perhaps the defender of FC Bayern Munich, saw before his inner eye once more to the incredible error that was him. After a long Pass of the Berlin Hummels wanted to heads the Ball safely to his team in the back, instead, he extended it right to the feet of Davie Selke. The striker from Hertha BSC had just been hired, he hadn’t had the ball in contact and met with his first action for 2:2 for Berlin soccer Bundesliga. The hope of a Sensation, a success in the first knockout round of the DFB-Cup against the record winner of this competition, was back.

But she lived only up in the extension: In the 98. Minute, Kingsley Coman, a took advantage of the great indecision in Herthas defense and headed in 3:2 (2:2, 1:1)-end. Three defenders around him, and could not prevent him, however, on successful completion. Herthas big dream of qualifying for the Cup final in our own city remains in this season unfulfilled. The Berlin that had been in the League the last four Times undefeated in the duels with Bayern, and at the end of September even a 2:0-were able to celebrate success, were grown in Munich in front of 74.667 spectators in the sold-out Olympic stadium, this time only sporadically.

her coach Pal Dardai had not made just three personnel Changes (Skjelbred, Kalou and medium urban for Maier, Selke and Lustenberger), but also the tactical change from the 3-5-2 to the tried and tested 4-2-3-1 with Maximilian Mittelstädt on the left in attack and Salomon Kalou on the right. At the Munich Manuel Neuer was missing. The goalkeeper was not even in the squad, was sitting with geschientem thumb for moral support on the bench.

national player Gnabry was the most noticeable player on the court

The game started at a furious pace. After a little more than a Minute, the emotions were flowing. Leon Goretzka in the penalty area. Referee Markus Schmidt decided to swallow and showed the Munich the Yellow card. In real speed some of the language for this interpretation of the action, in slow motion but it was clear to see that Goretzka had come from the Occurs because of Herthas defender Karim Rekik had kicked him on the foot. Also in the DFB Cup, there is a video wizard, but only from the quarter-finals.

As the game went on with a free-kick for Hertha, the goalkeeper Rune Jarstein far into the Munich half, joined Mittelstaedt, played a one-two with Kalou and hit from the box and through the legs of Mats Hummels to 1:0. Emotional, intense and dynamic the game is in the beginning phase. Probably it would have been a coach Dardai rather, it would have managed his team to slow the pace a little. But Bayern did not have to run after the residue for a long time. After a cross from Joshua Kimmich from the right side, Robert Lewandowski was able to take the Ball to Serge Gnabry, who had escaped his counterpart, Marvin Plattenhardt. With a well-placed low shot to the short corner Gnabry scored the 1:1.

The national players was the most noticeable in Munich in the first half, Bayern given after the compensation is largely Done. More than two-thirds possession of the ball had guests, 8:1, the shooting ratio was on the break. Two more Times it tried to Gnabry, the react but failed on the good Jarstein in the Berlin goal. To Goretzka to a corner with a header but the ball is a chance for the guests, and a deflected shot from Mats Hummels had went narrowly past the post. Hertha was a bit too passive, failing to provide more relief. The attack attempts of the Berlin, after the ball win to end in the approach.

after the break, the Bavarians were not long with the formalities. Not even five minutes after the re-start they led 2:1. And again the goal-scorer Serge Gnabry was called. After Rekik from the defense network had curls, joined the Munich-based in the free space and hit after the Pass from James with a shot into the far corner for the lead for the guests.

The thing seemed to have done, because Bayern were also in the episode is hardly a doubt as to their determination: they controlled the Ball, Hertha delivery usually afterwards – up to Hummels, helping engagement and the Berlin back into the game repeatedly. At least until the renewal.
