🇩🇪 Third-tier German side take another huge Bundesliga scalp in the cup | OneFootball

The remarkable story of 1. FC Saarbrücken continues after they took another huge Bundesliga scalp in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday.

The German third-tier side, who caused a huge shock after knocking Bayern Munich out in the last round have gone and done it again tonight – with 2022 Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt the victims this time.

Kai Brünker took advantage of some hesitant defending to smash home from inside the box to give the hosts the lead in the 64th minute before the hosts found themselves in dreamland when Luca Kerber tapped in 14 minutes later.

Frankfurt then had Noel Futkeu sent off for a straight red card when chasing the game in the dying minutes.

The Pokal giant-killers now progress to the quarter-finals, becoming only the sixth third-tier side to make it through to this stage, with Paderborn achieving the feat last back in 2018.

Although Saarbrücken do have history in this competition having gone one step further to the semi-finals in 2020, when they were a fourth-division side.
