Werder have been knocked out of the DFB-Pokal after losing 3-2 to Viktoria Köln at Sportpark Höhenberg. After an early red card for Amos Pieper in the eleventh minute, Werder were forced to adapt to playing with only ten men. But even with a numerical disadvantage, the Green-Whites put in a mostly solid performance and earned their opening goal scored by Marvin Ducksch at the end of the first half (43’). The hosts started strongly after the break, with Philipp scoring two equalisers for the 3. Liga side (72’ & 79’) after Füllkrug had put Werder back in front from the penalty spot (77’). In the final moments of the game, Bogicevic hit the ball into the back of the net (90+4’), leaving Werder with no time to salvage their place in the next round of the Pokal.

Ermedin Demirović: “Today is a catastrophic day. To go out in this manner even after a good pre-season is unacceptable. We were too poor in a lot of areas today, even though we worked well in pre-season and prepared a lot for the game. It’s inexplicable – it’s up to us to work on this. Nevertheless, even when it goes badly we have to look forwards, stay positive and put a line through this game very quickly.”

For Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann, there was no reason to sugarcoat what is going on with Manchester City loanee Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese international is less than thrilled with his spot in the bench in Bavaria.
