Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

1. FC Kaiserslautern beat SV Waldhof Mannheim 1-0 in the DFB Pokal first round, but needed until the 120th minute to do it. Ibrahim Kanate scored the only goal from Alex Murphy's assist after a goalless 90 minutes and most of extra time.

The match was tight and increasingly scrappy, with 13 yellow cards shown across the two sides. Kaiserslautern had plenty of the ball and created the better chances, but Waldhof defended stubbornly until Kanate finally found a way through in the last minute of extra time.

Kaiserslautern dominated the shot count 22 to 18 and took 15 corners to Waldhof's five. They also had five big chances to Waldhof's one, yet needed the final kick of the match to separate the sides.
