Brandt scores BVB’s 500th Pokal goal: other milestone scorers | OneFootball

After the hard-fought 1-0 win at FC Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund looks back on a successful week. Two games, two wins, with the one on Wednesday only coming about after a penalty shootout. Julian Brandt scored the 1-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt, marking at the same time the 500th goal of Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal. Here is an overview of the previous milestone scorers of BVB.

Before Borussia Dortmund reached the mark of 100 goals scored, the club had already won the DFB-Pokal once. In 1965, BVB defeated Alemannia Aachen 2-0 in the Niedersachsenstadion. This also laid the foundation for the victory in the European Cup Winners' Cup a year later.

It took over ten more years before the 100th goal for the Black and Yellows was scored. It was scored by the relatively lesser-known Burghard Segler when BVB won 9-0 against TSV Ottobrunn in the first round in 1977. Segler scored the 1-0 after 15 minutes. Other scorers in this rout were Peter Geyer with three and Erwin Kostedde with two goals.

BVB then needed just eight years for the next 100 goals in the DFB-Pokal. Ralf Loose, a junior world champion of 1981, scored in the 1985/86 second round in a 4-2 win at TuS Schloß-Neuhaus, the predecessor of today's SC Paderborn. BVB then advanced to the semifinals, where they were defeated 1-4 away at VfB Stuttgart.

Heiko Herrlich now a coach, formerly a scorer for BVB

The third milestone scorer for BVB in the cup was a double scorer. In 2000/01, Heiko Herrlich scored the third and fourth goals when the Ruhr club won 4-0 at FC Ismaning. However, two rounds later, they were eliminated when BVB lost 1-2 to FC Schalke 04. Heiko Herrlich played nine seasons for Borussia Dortmund between 1995 and 2004, where he also began his career as a (youth) coach.

The scorer of Borussia Dortmund's 400th goal in the DFB-Pokal remains. Like Burghard Segler decades earlier, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal was also a 1-0. In this case, he scored this goal on May 30, 2015, in the DFB-Pokal final against VfL Wolfsburg. However, the Lower Saxons countered with three goals of their own, leading to BVB losing this final, which was also Jürgen Klopp's last match as the coach of the Borussians.

New to this series is Julian Brandt, who with BVB's 500th goal in the DFB-Pokal kept the door open to perhaps reaching the final again or even winning the competition – as recently as 2021.
