Havelse Nurnberg DFB-Pokal

Major upset ... Havelse players celebrate one of their three goals (AAP)

Regionalliga side Havelse sprung a major surprise by knocking Bundesliga side Nurnberg out of the DFB-Pokal 3-2 after extra-time.

Despite Alexander Esswein's early opener, Nurnberg required Robert Mak's 80th-minute equaliser to see it into extra-time.

But Marc Vucinovic struck early in the second extra period to add to Christoph Beismann and Patrick Posipal's goals in normal time and see Havelse through.

Hamburg twice squandered the lead as it was dumped out 4-2 by 3.Bundesliga side Karlsruhe.

First-half goals from Marcus Berg and Maximilian Beister gave the visitor the upper hand but Koen van der Biezen and Selcuk Alibaz scored equalisers.

And the third-tier outfit stunned its illustrious opponent with two goals in the final 12 minutes from Martin Stoll and Elia Soriano to secure its spot in the second round.

Werder Bremen crashed out after extra-time to Preussen Munster, from the same level of the game, after Matthew Taylor's hat-trick.

The American equalised twice to ensure extra-time after first Eljero Elia and then Niclas Fullkrug had given Werder the lead.

And Dima Nazarov put the host 3-2 ahead before Werder had Sokratis Papastathopoulos sent off and Taylor grabbed his third late on.

Eintracht Frankfurt had Kevin Trapp sent off inside 20 minutes as it was hammered 3-0 by second-tier Erzgebirge Aue.

Thomas Paulus scored from the resulting penalty and Jakub Sylvestr's double ensured there was no way back for the Bundesliga side, despite the dismissal of Aue's Oliver Schroder at 2-0.

Regionalliga side Wormatia Worms beat Hertha Berlin of the 2.Bundesliga 2-1.

Tim Bauer set the minnow on its way with a third-minute penalty and, despite Sandro Wagner's equaliser, Romas Dressler's winner sent the Worms into the next round.

Sergio Pinto and Jan Schlaudraff scored twice apiece as Hannover cruised past Nottingen 6-1 and Julian Draxler and Ciprian Marica did likewise in Schalke's 5-0 win over Saarbrucken, while 1860 Munich enjoyed a 6-0 success against Hennef with six different goalscorers.

Aalen beat 2.Bundesliga rival Ingolstadt 3-0 and Paderborn was beaten 3-1 by third-division Arminia Bielefeld after late goals from Patrick Schonfeld and Thomas Hubener.

Kaiserslautern is through to the second round after a 3-1 victory at 2. Bundesliga rival Hansa Rostock.

Albert Bunkaju gave the visitor a 49th-minute lead before Hendrick Zuck doubled the advantage seven minutes later.

Johan Platt gave the home side hope with a goal 14 minutes from time, but Konstantinos Fortounis secured Kaiserslautern's progression in added time.

Fortuna Dusseldorf will join it after Stefan Reisinger netted a 76th-minute winner at SV Wacker Burghausen.

Mainz eased to a 4-0 win over Oberliga side Rossbach Verscheid. Adam Szalai scored twice before the break with Julian Baumgartliner adding to the tally three minutes after the interval.

Maxim Choupo-Moting completed the scoring after 62 minutes to seal progression.
