DFB Cup
Bayer Leverkusen against Cologne from 20.45 LIVE
Bayer Leverkusen struggled to reach the semi-finals of the German Cup on Wednesday. The reigning German champions beat Gerhard Struber's Cologne 3:2 after extra time - although the visitors had already led 2:0.
After the game was interrupted for several minutes shortly after kick-off because Cologne fans had set off pyrotechnics, Leverkusen actually had everything under control and also had the better chances - but Downs surprisingly put the second division side ahead in stoppage time of the first half (45.+10).
When Maina (54) added to his tally, the sensation was in the air. But Bayer hit back - thanks to striker Patrik Schick (61st, 96th), who saved his team in extra time.
Boniface makes the difference
There, joker Boniface (98) scored the decider. In the 112th minute, Cologne were celebrating the supposed 3:3 through Rondic, but the VAR conceded the goal for offside.
