Extra-time half-time: Viktoria Köln 1-1 Nuremberg

Half-time
103'

Risky on both sides

Sponsel takes a big risk in his own penalty area against Moustfa, but the scorer of the equaliser plays the ball and defuses Nuremberg's advance. Shortly after, Markhiev catches Kloss with a late challenge and receives the next yellow card.
96'

Yellow card again

Jahn steps on Fernandez's foot and is consequently shown a yellow card.

End of second half

Equaliser!

Viktoria equalise just before the final whistle to make it 1-1! Fallmann whips a free-kick high into the box, where Sponsel gets across his man to tap the ball over the line from very close range. Extra time awaits!

Kick-off!

Half-time: Viktoria Köln 0-0 Nuremberg

At the interval, it remains goalless in Cologne. Nuremberg have enjoyed more of the possession, but the home side has managed to creat the more dangerous of the chances. Otto narrowly missed the target early on, before Kloss and Duman also later squandered good opportunities. Everything is still to play for in the second half, but the Franconians will need to be significantly more threatening going forward if they're to break down this resolute Viktoria defence.
Half-time
43'

Reichert staying solid

Again, the Nuremberg keeper is well-positioned for a stop - this time against Otto. Had the effort posed more danger, it wouldn't have mattered anyway as the striker had started his run from an offside position.
42'

Comfortable save

Tonye lays it off for Duman, and the former Nuremberg man immediately has a shot. However, his effort is far too central and lands straight into the arms of Reichert.
39'

Shoulder issue

Zoma's left shoulder is being iced, and, as a precaution, Moustfa is sent out to warm up on the touchline.
37'

Zoma requires treatment

The attacking midfielder stays down on the pitch after a challenge with Tonye.
30'

Scrubbed off

Scobel scores what appears to be the opening goal for the away side, however, he is adjudged to have committed a foul in the build-up, and as such, the goal is rightly disallowed.
27'

Nuremberg in possession

The Franconians have control of the game, while Viktoria are lying in wait for counter-attacks. As such, this remains a hard-fought match, with Nuremberg in particular struggling to break down the hosts and make a meaningful impact so far.
26'

Castelle with a header

Once again, a Duman corner causes danger. Castelle lurks at the far post and nods the ball towards the Nuremberg goal with a header, but Reichert is alert and makes a good save to deny him.
19'

First booking

Fernandez is shown a yellow card for a challenge on Tonye.
13'

Sponsel holds firm

Zoma looks to get past his defender on the left flank, but Sponsel comes out on top in the duel and even wins a free-kick in the end to win possession of the ball back for Viktoria.
8'

Just off target

Otto lurks at the near post after a Duman corner and diverts the ball towards goal with his heel, but the ball whistles just wide of the right post.
7'

Quiet start

Neither side has fashioned a dangerous attack yet and are feeling each other out in this early phase of the match.
1'

And we're off!

The ball is rolling here in Cologne. Nuremberg immediately take control of possession.
Kick-off!

More on that Nuremberg team

Miroslav Klose has to do without Finn Becker, who is out with a knee injury. Rafael Lubach (pictured) starts in his stead as the only change made to team that beat Greuther Fürth in the derby last weekend.

Nuremberg aiming for a perfect start

Miroslav Klose's side have already secured two wins in the new season. The last time they started a campaign with three consecutive competitive wins was in the 2017/18 season. Back then, their first opponents in the DFB Cup were Duisburg, who Nuremberg beat 2-1.

Miroslav Klose on facing Viktoria Cologne

"The absence of Finn Becker is well known. Unfortunately, Rafael Lubach, Rayan Ghrieb, Mikayil Faye and Christian Mathenia have also been struck down by illness. If all goes well, only one of them will return. As things stand, they are all unavailable. This match is too important to me to be experimenting in. It is a knockout match, and I want to put out the best possible team."

Marian Wilhelm on facing Nuremberg

"The foundation has to be energy and consistency. We did that very well in many phases of the game last week against Stuttgart II. Nuremberg will perhaps also pose us with one or two challenges that we cannot prepare for quite so easily. As a team, we need to be more disciplined and also show the necessary courage."
