At the gates…

After the Bundesliga, the German Cup returns to the forefront, with the only semifinals of the tournament being held on Tuesday and Wednesday. And if Wednesday's consists of two frequent spectators of these phases, Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt, the former has its peculiarities. With the quarantine you see, we had forgotten that the last obstacle of Leverkusen before returning to the final after 2009 is… Saarbrucken!

The Red Bulls, one of the clubs in the fourth division, have secured promotion to the 3rd Division thanks to the best average score they had when the match was stopped. The last match of the team from Saarland dates back to March 7 and since then there has been inactivity, while Leverkusen has five matches on its feet in the post-coronation era.

Which certainly gives the Bundesliga club an even bigger advantage, although so far the players of Saarbrμπcken have not been overwhelmed by differences in capacity and names.

Their first victim, in the first round, was Regensburg (3nd division), which they had defeated 2-90 thanks to a big upset in the end. This was followed by Cologne, which lost with the same score in the 5 '! The next victim was Carslroy of the 3nd division, who reached the penalty shootout, where she lost XNUMX-XNUMX.

The matter had begun to get serious, with Fortuna Dσελsseldorf going to Saarbrικcken suspiciously. And yet. The Bundesliga team may have escaped defeat in the 90 'in the regular time, but the 1-1 was left until the end of the extra time and finally the outsiders smiled again in the penalties (7-6)!

Now the appointment with history is just around the corner for the team of Lukas Kwasniok, who was recently quarantined with his players. Which means they could not play in a friendly match either. Nevertheless, on Tuesday night they will claim their participation in the final of the German Cup, which will take place in Berlin on July 4. And they have every right to dream…
