SV Oberachern played happily for 20 minutes in the DFB Cup duel with Borussia Mönchengladbach, then the Bundesliga team rushed into the second round.

Thuram scored three times in the new coach's competitive debut, the South Baden team celebrated their only goal like a win.

Freiburg – Led by triple goalscorer Marcus Thuram, Borussia Mönchengladbach has confidently advanced to the second round of the DFB Cup.

The French striker scored a hat-trick (3rd, 22nd and 36th minute) in the 9-1 (6-0) win of the Bundesliga against fifth division SV Oberachern on Sunday, paving the way for a successful competitive debut for the new Gladbacher coach Daniel Farke.

The other goals for the favorites were scored twice in front of 15,000 spectators by Jonas Hofmann (37', 45'+3'), Rami Bensebaini (45'), Lars Stindl (47'), Joe Scally (59') and Florian Neuhaus (78'). ).

Nico Huber (61st) scored for the Oberliga club.

Oberachern had moved to Freiburg's Dreisam Stadium for their debut in the DFB Cup.

In line with the biggest game in the club's history to date, there was a festival atmosphere, the fans took photos with the team buses before kick-off and loudly urged the players forward during the game.

The South Baden team's only goal was celebrated like a victory.

As announced by captain Nicola Leberer and team manager Mark Lerandy, the outsider did not put himself in the back, but - at least at the beginning - played an offensive role.

He even kept the game open for 20 minutes and created a handful of chances.

After Thuram's goal to make it 2-0, the guests pulled away before the break.

The 24-year-old scored well in all three of his goals - twice by Captain Stindl, once by Hofmann.

Gladbacher Thuram scored three goals in all of their 21 competitive appearances last season.

National player Hofmann also did a good job in the first round.

Stindl, who had prepared three times before the break, put his name on the top scorers list immediately after the change of sides.

Moritz Nicolas was in goal for Borussia, as regular keeper Yann Sommer with thigh problems and his deputy Tobias Sippel were absent in private due to a corona case.

Huber's consolation goal opened up another good phase for Oberachern in the middle of the second half - then Gladbach's Neuhaus hit the top right corner.
