Dortmund haunt Frankfurt’s dreams in the German Cup | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund seems to have a “favorite target” in the German Cup.

According to Opta data, the black and yellow team has beaten Eintracht Frankfurt in all 4 matches between the teams in this millennium in the tournament.

And the most curious part: Eintracht has never been eliminated by another club so many times in the competition this century.

This record was extended this Tuesday (28th) with the clash between the teams in Frankfurt for the second round of the tournament.

The match was decided only in a penalty shootout, with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel making the difference to send Borussia Dortmund through.

In regular time, Ansgar Knauff opened the scoring in the first half and Julian Brandt equalized to make it 1-1.

Once again, Dortmund confirms its role as the rival’s “executioner” and keeps its dominance alive in the DFB-Pokal.
