Cup game at the BayArena on 13 September

The first round of the DFB Cup has now been finalised: The Werkself play Hamburg Cup winners Eintracht Norderstedt on Sunday, 13 September with the kick-off at 15.30 CET. However, the match will not be played at the home of the Regional League North club but instead at the BayArena.

Norderstedt have forgone their right to be at home. One of the reasons is the comprehensive coronavirus protocols. "Even without spectators, there is a huge amount of organisational work for an amateur club with a home game in the DFB Cup and also considerable costs for staff and provisions for TV broadcasting that can hardly be covered without the income from gate receipts, so the club has decided to play at Bayer Leverkusen and offered to swap the right to play at home," Eintracht Norderstedt announced on their website.

Exchanging the right to be at home is normally not allowed; but the DFB has suspended the rule due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Werkself review #FCHB04: ‘We’re ready to overcome this situation’

Three goals weren’t enough for the Werkself to beat FC Heidenheim on Saturday. The 3-3 stalemate was Bayer 04’s third Bundesliga draw in a row. After a commanding first half and a two-goal lead, “we didn’t get back into our game,” summarised Mark Flekken, who featured between the sticks for the first time in two months. Patrik Schick once again proved his nose for goal, bagging a brace. He is now the third-most prolific Bundesliga scorer in the club’s history. Despite the squandered points, head coach Kasper Hjulmand remains confident ahead of the final spurt of the season: “We’re ready to overcome this situation.” The Werkself review.
