Trailing 1-0, Cologne responds with 9 goals in German Cup

Dynamo Berlin quickly regretted scoring first against Cologne in the first round of the German Cup yesterday.

Cologne - relegated from the Bundesliga last season - responded by putting nine goals past its fourth-tier opponents to win 9-1 in the Olympiastadion.

Simon Terodde scored four for Cologne, his first goal coming only two minutes after Dynamo midfielder Patrik Twardzik opened the scoring in the 19th.

Leipzig also came from behind to beat fourth-tier Viktoria Cologne 3-1, and Hannover defeated third-division Karlsruher SC 6-0.

Leipzig finished with 10 men after new signing Marcelo Saracchi was sent off on his competitive debut for bringing down Viktoria’s Patrick Koronkiewicz as the last defender.

Augsburg made hard work of beating fourth-tier Steinbach Haiger 2-1.

Defending champion Eintracht Frankfurt was knocked out at the first hurdle on Saturday, when Bayern Munich struggled to overcome fourth-tier SV Drochtersen/Assel 1-0.
