HAMBURG, 22 September 2004 — Roy Makaay struck in stoppage time for the second time in four days to give Bayern Munich a dramatic second round victory in the German Cup last night, 3-2 at Third Division VfL Osnabruck.

Makaay, who on Saturday scored Munich’s late 2-2 league equalizer in Dortmund, saved Munich from embarrassment after Osnabruck temporarily led 2-1.

Makaay’s attacking partner Claudio Pizarro got the other goals in the fifth and 74th, while Joe Enochs and Thomas Reichenberger were on target for Osnabruck in the 19th and 63rd, respectively.

But two promoted Bundesliga teams crashed out on the night. Mainz 05 crashed 3-0 on penalties at SC Karlsruhe after a 1-1 deadlock from 120 minutes, with goalkeeper Marcus Miller the hero for Karlsruhe when he saved the spot kicks from Antonio da Silva, Conor Casey and Juergen Kramny in the shootout.

Nuremberg wasted a 2-0 lead in their 3-2 extra time loss at home to Second Division LR Ahlen. In the day’s only all-Bundesliga encounter, substitute Regis Dorn was the hero for SC Freiburg when his goals in the 90th and 116th lifted them 3-2 over VfL Bochum in extra time.

Just 48 hours after the team’s 1-1 league draw, Bochum led twice from Tommy Beckmann in the 23rd and Zvjezdan Misimovic’s 54th-minute penalty, with Sascha Riether getting Freiburg’s first in the 40th.

Munich had to play without playmaker Michael Ballack and captain Oliver Kahn on a windy night in Osnabruck, but took an early lead from Claudio Pizarro’s fifth-minute header off Hasan Salihamidzic’s right wing cross.

Osnabruck got a stunning equalizer in the 19th when their American captain Joe Enochs beat reserve keeper Michael Rensing with a 30 meters drive high into the net.

Munich pleaded in vain for a penalty when Matthias Koch felled Salihamidzic at the end of the half, and things looked really grim for the star-studded Bavarians when Thomas Reichenberger tapped in Osnabruck’s 2-1 lead off Wolfgang Schuette’s lob against the bar.

But Munich rallied to win from Pizarro’s low 16m drive in the 74th and Makaay’s solo seconds before the final whistle. “Osnabruck fought very well. It was a typical cup fight, but we deserved the win,” said Munich coach Felix Magath.

Arminia Bielefeld prevailed 4-2 at Cologne’s amateurs, Eintracht Trier won a Second Division duel at 1860 Munich 4-3 on penalties after a scoreless deadlock and Third Division Paderborn defeated Division Two side MSV Duisburg 2-1.

The final nine second-round matches are today, highlighted by the duel between holders Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen.

Kiev Awarded 3-0 Win

Over Roma

Dynamo Kiev were awarded a 3-0 win over AS Roma yesterday after their Champions League match was abandoned when the referee was hit by an object thrown from the crowd in Rome.

Roma will have to play their next two European games behind closed doors, UEFA said in a statement. The matches are against Bayer Leverkusen on Nov. 3 and Real Madrid on Dec. 8.

UEFA’s disciplinary committee acted after Swedish referee Anders Frisk was injured at the Olympic Stadium at halftime of last Wednesday’s game, shortly after sending off Roma defender Philippe Mexes. Kiev were leading the Group B match 1-0 at the time.

France’s Mexes has been suspended for two matches “for particularly unsporting conduct”, UEFA said.

“In taking the decision the Control and Disciplinary Body took into account the seriousness of the nature of the incident, in which the referee Anders Frisk was injured and therefore led him to abandon the match,” the UEFA statement said.

Roma were given until midnight (2200 GMT) on Friday to appeal but decided not to contest the decision.

The Serie A club said in a statement: “AS Roma takes on board the decision made by the UEFA disciplinary commission and states that it will not be presenting an appeal against it, while at the same time reserving the right to defend its interests, those of its shareholders and its own image, in all opportune forums, for the damage that has occurred.”

Yesterday’s decision satisfied the Ukrainian side who had demanded they be handed victory after the incident. “To be honest we were expecting it,” Dynamo spokesman Serhiy Polkhovsky said.

“It’s a justified decision which will be to the benefit of the sport.”

A month ago, Israeli side Maccabi Tel-Aviv were awarded a 3-0 win over PAOK after the Greek club fielded a suspended player in a Champions League third round qualifier.

In 2001, Paris St Germain were given a 3-0 win at Rapid Bucharest after their UEFA Cup tie had to be abandoned following a floodlight failure.
