49th minute:The hosts dominate the first minutes. Viktoria apply constant pressure and relentlessly search for a way forward. Up until this point, their attempts to threaten the Green-Whites have been unsuccessful. Werder drop players back to shore up the defence, but they’re struggling to get forward.
56th minute:A corner goes high and deep. A Viktoria player puts real power behind his effort, yet Pavlenka just manages to outstretch his hand and block it. Philipp then pulls the trigger on his shot from the right, where Pavlenka makes an impressive dive and punches it away. The subsequent corner appears to be dangerous at first; however, Pavlenka once again saves the day as it falls nicely into his hands.
67th minute:Schmid finds Stage on the left wing. He goes to cross the ball into Füllkrug, who is waiting to head it, but the delivery is intercepted by the Viktoria defender. Straight after, Werder have two huge chances, which neither Schmid nor Stage can put away.
72nd minute: Goal for Viktoria! David Philipp gets on the scoresheet to make it 1-1.
77th minute: A sudden turnaround! Niclas Füllkrug slots a penalty kick into the bottom right corner to make it 2-1 to Werder.
79th minute: The goals keep on coming. David Philipp scores again to bring Viktoria Köln back in the game. Schmid and Stark blocked each other’s path, allowing Philipp lots of space to attack.
90th minute +4: Viktoria turn the game around! Donny Bogicevic makes it 3-2 to the hosts.
90th minute +5: The final whistle blows! With a 3-2 defeat, Werder’s DFB-Pokal campaign has come to an early end.
