In August 2004, HSV was upset in the German Cup by regional league side Paderborn. The match became one of the most infamous in recent football history when it was discovered that the match referee, Robert Hoyzer, had accepted money from a Croatian gambling syndicate to fix the match. The resulting scandal became the biggest in German football in over 30 years, and was a major embarrassment to the country as it prepared to host the 2006 World Cup.
