1899 Hoffenheim are out of the German Cup after a painful night at Holstein Kiel: 1-1 after extra time and a 4-3 defeat on penalties.

In the shootout, Kvilitaia's shot hit the post after a save by Philipp, Avdullahu sent his kick over the bar, and Rothenhagen saved Mats Rots's final attempt to put Kiel through. According to the club's official website, Chris Ilzer's side must now turn their attention to the league: this Saturday at 3:30 pm they visit Werder Bremen.
