👀 DFB-Pokal shock in Cologne: how the women's quarter-final unfolded | OneFootball

Things are getting serious in the DFB-Pokal for women. After Carl Zeiss Jena and VfL Wolfsburg already advanced to the quarterfinals yesterday, more teams followed today. There was a surprise, especially in Cologne.

The FC women were knocked out of the cup by SC Sand with a 2:3 loss. For the second-division team, Leni Fischer scored the decisive goal in the 66th minute, bringing her team into the last eight. SCS was the only lower-league team to reach the quarterfinals.

Relegated Turbine Potsdam (0:1 against Essen) and FC Ingolstadt (0:3 against Bayern) both failed against their higher-ranked opponents. For the Bayern women, Lea Schüller, Natalia Padilla-Bidas, and Barbara Dunst, who was in the FCB starting lineup for the first time since her transfer, scored. The remaining three matches were somewhat more spectacular.

Eintracht Frankfurt won against TSG Hoffenheim 6:4 – after 90 minutes. It took a bit longer for HSV against Leverkusen (4:2 on penalties) and Werder Bremen against Leipzig (5:4 on penalties). Both teams won from the spot.

Speaking of HSV and Werder: Just last season, the two teams met in front of a record women's crowd at Hamburg's Volkspark in the cup semi-final. Back then, Werder won 3:1 after extra time. Sounds like a call for a rematch, doesn't it?
