Due to the high stress that FC Bayern was exposed to in the second half of 2020 from the Champions League final tournament, the cup game between the record champions and Holstein Kiel was postponed to the new year. On Wednesday evening, the second division team invited to a cup dance in gruesome weather.
For FC Bayern there was actually a compulsory task waiting in Kiel. The second division, however, had a say on Wednesday evening. On the lead of Bayern, scored from a clear offside position (there is no VAR in the 2nd round of the DFB Cup) by Serge Gnabry, the storks in the person of Fin Bartels replied with the equalizer before the break.
After the break, Leroy Sane put Bayern back in front and on course with a wonderful free kick. In bad Nordic weather, however, the home side demanded everything from Bayern and earned more than a narrow cup failure. Kiel was finally able to reward itself in absolute Bayern fashion: Hauke Wahl scored the equalizer for the second division team in the 95th minute and thus forced extra time.
In the 30 extra minutes it stayed 2-2 and ultimately the penalty shoot-out decided between victory and defeat. After the first five shooters turned safely, FC Bayern’s Marc Roca failed to Kiel keeper Ioannis Gelios; Fin Bartels then remained sovereign and made the cup sensation perfect!

No VAR in the 2nd cup round:
Leverkusen turns the game with an offside goal against Eintracht. Bayern with an early offside goal against Kiel.Maybe the video referee is never as stupid as some always claim.#KSVFCB

Yes, sex is great, but as a Champions League winner have you ever scored a clear offside goal against a second division team without a VAR? #KSVFCB

Which Kasper at Werder actually meant that Bartels is no longer good enough and worse Osako, Sargent and Co.? #KSVFCB #Werder

Bayern and Martin Sonneborn are equally convincing on the defensive.#KSVFCB

It’s just ridiculous. Any, really any football team would meet against Bayern. With the same move. #KSVFCB

Kiel has meanwhile deserved the equalization so much that they are sure to hit the post again and then hit Bayern with a second offside goal. #KSVFCB

Two takeaways from this game:
1. I want to see Kiel in the Bundesliga.
2. If Bayern don’t improve a lot compared to the last few weeks, they’ll win at most one title this season. #KSVFCB– Alex (@AlexAlxalix) January 13, 2021

From a competition point of view, I find it very beneficial that a second division team will be able to get extra time against Bayern in 2021. #KSVFCB

Negative for Hansi Flick: An uncomfortable cup fight with excess length and an uncertain outcome.
Pros: One of the main roles in the “Das Boot” remake is Flick for sure.#KSVFCB pic.twitter.com/UO47xJ6DmA
