In a shootout thriller, Cologne made it into the semifinal of the German DFB Pokal. While each team scored a goal in the first half, there was no more score in the Heidewaldstadion, whose ground was frozen on one half of the pitch. Gütersloh had more chances than Cologne, who played quite disciplined and managed to keep the score until the penalty shootout, which the guests managed to win.
