6:50 p.m. – HALFTIME – The mountain pasture is shaking! There was a lot of talk about the magical potential of the Bielefeld Arena, but what happened here in the first 45 minutes probably exceeded all expectations. First, Maximilian Großer took a completely unnecessary penalty, which Freiburg’s Florent Muslija unmotivatedly shot into the middle and was denied by Jonas Kersken.

Afterwards, the hosts really came into their own and actually took the lead thanks to a Sunday shot from Christopher Lannert. Since Michael Gregoritsch received a shot in the arm a few minutes later, striker Julian Kania was even able to make it 2-0 for the third division team. There is a powerful surprise here.

At VfB Stuttgart, however, everything is going according to plan. Enzo Millot and Anrie Chase gave the Swabians a clear lead early on in Regensburg.

6:00 p.m – And here we go in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup. While the Freiburgers have to survive at the Bielefelder Alm, VfB Stuttgart competes at the bottom of the second division in Regensburg. You can also follow the Swabians’ duel against the Upper Palatinate live in the Flashscore audio report.

5:03 p.m – Coach Sebastian Hoeneß from VfB Stuttgart does not want to underestimate their upcoming opponents Jahn Regensburg in the DFB Cup despite being favorites. “Of course we know that we have to be able to beat Regensburg, but we also know what the cup means. Therefore, we would be very ill-advised to look at the second division table for too long,” said the 42-year-old before the round of 16 duel at the bottom of the lower house. More info

4:23 p.m – The city of Bielefeld has issued an urgent warning before the cup clash against SC Freiburg. Be sure to close the garbage can lid tightly, please make easy access to rooftops difficult – and be careful with the cat flap! But not because marauding SC hooligan hordes would invade, no: brazen serial perpetrators from cheeky raccoon families have been tormenting the residents for weeks. More info

3:56 p.m – Return to old love: Florian Kohfeldt is expecting an emotional roller coaster ride before his guest appearance at his former place of work. “8:45 p.m., a knockout game in the Weserstadion – there are few places I would rather be on a Tuesday evening,” said the coach of the second division team Darmstadt 98 to the Deichstube before the round of 16 in the DFB Cup at Werder Bremen.

2:00 p.m. – Welcome to Cup Tuesday! The first four games of the round of 16 are scheduled for today and all eyes are of course on the top game in the evening, when Bayer Leverkusen visits Bayern Munich. Werkself coach Xabi Alonso has already described the duel “like a finale”.

Not included: Harry Kane. The English star striker was injured in the first half against Borussia Dortmund at the weekend and is therefore missing from the cup.
