Frauen DFB Pokal Cup Round of 16 Review (30-10-11)

Frauen DFB Pokal Round of 16:

Frankfurt 1 Wolfsburg 0

Wolfsburg’s dream of winning the DFB Pokal cup was disrupted by last year’s champions, FFC Frankfurt. According to VfL Wolfsburg’s website, Wolfsburg had early scoring chances but failed to convert. Frankfurt’s goal keeper, Angerer, made a few key saves to secure the clean sheet. (In this season’s Bundesliga action, Angerer has only given up one goal) 

Wolfsburg’s folly occurred during the second half. Playing an offside trap (which is risky against any team and perhaps not wise against Frankfurt), Wolfsburg’s Verena Faißt tried to push away a dangerous pass with Frankfurt’s Garefrekes approaching. Unfortunately for Faißt and Wolfsburg, the ball was pushed into the goal, giving Frankfurt a 1-0 lead due to an own goal. (KICKER has an excellent photo of the own goal) 

To make matters worse for Wolfsburg, Goeßling picked up her second yellow of the match. Although playing down a player, Wolfsburg still battled offensively for the elusive tying goal. Despite throwing numbers forward into the offensive attack, Wolfsburg  could not score and was eliminated from the DFB Pokal Cup.

Lok Leipzig 6 FV Löchgau 1

Lok Leipzig had few problems against 2 Bundesliga South team, FV Löchgau.  Six different players scored for Leipzig. FV Löchgau’s goal was a penalty kick by Van Bonn in the 20^th minute.

Lok Leipzig’s goals:

Klotz (11), Toth (35), Ebermann (39), Lübcke (63), Heller (70), M. Hermann (81)  M. Herrmann (81)

Hamburger SV 2 SC Freiburg 0

Hamburger SV secured their advanvement into the next round by scoring two goals in the second half against another top flight Bundesliga team, SC Freiburg.  Hamburger had previously defeated Freiburg 2-3 during the Frauen Bundesliga 6^th round match. Kameraj scored twice for Hamburger during that match and scored Hamburger’s second goal to ensure Hamburger’s advancement into the next round during today's DFB Pokal Cup.

Goals: Timmerman (48), Kameraj (86)

Nagasato scored twice, leading Turbine Potsdam to a comfortable victory over VFL Sindefingen. Berger started in goal for Turbine Potsdam.

Bayern Munchen 2 USV Jena 0

Bayern Munchen and USV Jena were scoreless at the end of regulations and needed extra time to proclaim a winner.  Bayern Munchen scored early in over time, with a goal by Lotzen in the 94^th minute. Bachor’s goal in the 110^th minute secured Bayern’s victory. USV Jena’s coach, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg seemed to have unsuccessfully altered her formation/starting line-up that was showing progress during the last few weeks.

SC 07 Bad Neuenahr 3 1899 Hoffenheim 1

Celia Okoyino da Mbabi dominated this match for Bad Neuenahr. Okoyino da Mbabi secured her hat-trick in the 69^th minute due to a penalty kick.  C. Schneider scored for Hoffenheim in the 76th minute to deny Bad Neuenahr’s Schult a clean sheet.

FSV Gütersloh 2 Werder Bremen 1

Werder Bremen was able to level it up just before half time with a goal by Wallenhorst. The winning goal was scored in the 106^th minute by Anabel Jāger, who according to KICKER, is only 17 years old!

Duisburg 10 Herforder 0
