That was really annoying and unnecessary.Wednesday night Borussia downed in the second-round stage of the DFB Cup.
Lucien Favre's men lost 1-0 after extra time at Fortuna Düsseldorf.
The Coach fielded the same side that beat Hannover 3-2 in the Bundesliga at the weekend. Martin Stranzl again started at right-back for Tony Jantschke, with Roel Brouwers partnering Alvaro Dominguez in central defence.
A sold-out 52,500 crowd at the Esprit Arena saw Borussia dominate in the opening stages.
Until halftime Borussia had numerous opportunities for leadership. But Düsseldorfs keeper "Giefer" had an excellent day.
The biggest chance in the first half fell to Herrmann, who brilliantly evaded the challenges of Juanan and Levels but was denied from close range by the keeper.
In the second half Düsseldorf was better organized, but Borussia still had the better chances.
The biggest chance of the game was defused by Ter Stegen in the 84th minute when referee Knut Kircher pointed to the spot for a foul by Arango on Kruse after the Venezuelan had lost his footing in the penalty area. Langeneke struck the spot-kick low to Ter Stegen's left, and the Germany keeper got down to make the save to take the game to extra-time.
Durinf the extra time Düsseldorfs goal was nailed by their keeper "Giefer". He defused some further Borussia chances, until Düsseldorfs Rafael scored the winning goal in the 97th minute.
That´s soccer: if you don´t use your opportunities, you´ll be punished!!
Congratulation to Düsseldorf.
