Werkself ends Bavarians run in DFB Pokal

Werkself ending defending DFB Pokal champions Bayern München hopes of repeating with a 4-2 victory in Düsseldorf. After a furious first half that somehow concluded without a score Tranquillo Barnetta gave Werkself the 1-0 lead six minutes before the hour as he accepted Lukas Sinkiewicz long cross and powerfully drove the ball in from twenty metres. In rapid-fire manner Arturo Vidal doubled the margin seven minutes later when he nodded in Barnetta's corner. With twenty minutes remaining Bastian Schweinsteiger's poor pass was picked up by Michal Kadlec and then sent to German international Patrick Helmes who sent the ball in. The Bavarians came back scoring twice in the next four minutes, first with Massimo Oddo's being headed in by Lúcio and the Franck Ribéry cross into the six yard box for Miroslav Klose to head in. Now 3-2 Jürgen Klinsmann's side poured forward looking for the leveler. However two minutes into added time Stefan Kießling was provided the ball from Angelos Charisteas, who pounced on a defending error by Martin Demichelis and added the fourth and final goal as Bayer 04 won 4-2.
