Of the last six penalty kicks parried the Czech four.

resolution to secret weapon: Referee Gräfe not helped the HSV for victory. On the contrary: When 1: 2 Ujah was just offside. A number of other scenes the referee gave more likely to feel that he would want to make sure you forget the mistake of Karlsruhe. It was: When in doubt for Werder.
