Big celebrations in Saarbrücken: The third division team sensationally made it into the cup semi-finals.

Saarbrücken has done it again! This cup terror, which was in the semi-finals four years ago and has already eliminated the great FC Bayern (2:1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (2:0) this season, shocked the Gladbachers with the Swiss coach Gerardo Seoane in stoppage time.
Kai Brünker became a big hero with his 2-1 win, shooting Saarbrücken into luck with a low shot in the 92nd minute. Before that, the lower class also had to suffer, especially in the second half they ran after the ball for a long time on the deep grass.
The sensation is already in the air before kick-off: 16,000 spectators provide goosebumps. The belief in the sensation at the Ludwigsparkstadion is palpable. The lower class got off to a correspondingly stormy start in the heavy rain – but was punished by a Gladbach counterattack by Robin Hack (8th). But Saarbrücken just kept going and equalized in a wild start phase through Amine Naifi.
After 25 minutes, things calmed down and the cup fight that could have been expected developed – with the better end for the third division team. They will now face Kaiserslautern in the semi-finals – a derby. Bitter for Gladbach’s Nico Elvedi: He misses a possible duel with twin brother Jan. And for the first time in the history of the DFB Cup, only one Bundesliga team, Leverkusen (against Düsseldorf), is in the semi-finals.
