"Fantastic Cup Night": Kiel cheers Harres and next round - Holstein Kiel stuns Hamburg with last-gasp free kick and shootout heroics

Holstein Kiel progressed to the German Cup's quarter-finals following a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Hamburger SV. Phil Harres scored a late free kick to extend the game into extra time, ultimately leading to a 4:2 shootout win for Kiel. The team now gears up for a crucial match against Eintracht Braunschweig on Sunday.

The game appeared headed for a Hamburg triumph until Harres curled in a stunning free kick in the 118th minute, forcing extra time. With the score tied at full time, the game went to penalties, where Kiel remained composed. Harres stepped up once more to convert the decisive spot-kick, securing a 4:2 shootout win.

Kiel's penalty shootout triumph keeps their cup aspirations alive. Their next challenge comes against Braunschweig, where a victory could help alleviate their league woes. Bernhardsson's fitness will be closely monitored, but the team's momentum from midweek may prove pivotal.
