Preussen Munster 1:2 Karlsruher SC: DFB Pokal Match Result

Match report

Preußen Münster took on Karlsruher SC in the Round of 64 of the German Cup at the Preußenstadion on Thursday evening, and the visitors held on for a 2:1 victory. The result sends Karlsruher SC through to the next stage while ending Münster's cup campaign.

Montell Ndikom gave the hosts the lead in the 35th minute, a moment that shifted the mood at the stadium. Karlsruher SC responded after the break, with Marvin Wanitzek equalising in the 69th minute and Sebastian Jung putting them ahead in the 81st. By then, Münster had already lost Samuel Althaus to a red card on 90+5 minutes, and the visitors came for a cross he never reached in the dying moments.

Karlsruher SC created more opportunities, registering three big chances against none for Münster, and their expected goals figure of 1.53 told a similar story. The hosts managed only 0.36 xG despite having 71 attacks, and their shots went begging more often than not. Possession sat at 56 per cent for Karlsruhe, who also dominated in the final third with 95 passes compared to Münster's 25.

Both sides made several changes in the second half, with Münster bringing on Wesley Adeh and Louis Kolbe together in the 63rd minute. Karlsruher SC introduced Noel Eichinger on 46 minutes and added Kevin Wiethaup and Lucas Zeller later, while Münster substituted Ndikom himself in the 85th minute. The match ended with a yellow card for Münster's Tim Civeja and the red for Althaus, leaving the hosts to face the reality of an early exit.
