Dortmund (dpa) - Cup fright 1. FC Saarbrücken receives the team from Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals for the DFB Cup. This lot was drawn by the pregnant national goalkeeper Almuth Schult in the German Football Museum in Dortmund as a lucky fairy.

The semi-finals will be held in Völklingen again, as the stadium in Saarbrücken is being renovated. In the second semi-final, record cup winners Bayern Munich, who has won the Cup 19 times, and Eintracht Frankfurt meet. The games of the semifinals will take place on 21/22. April. The final will take place on May 23rd in Berlin's Olympic Stadium.

Thanks to a 7: 6 penalty shootout against Fortuna Düsseldorf, regional league team Saarbrücken was sensational as the first fourth division team in the history of the DFB Cup to reach the semi-finals.

Before the draw, coach Lukas Kwasniok had already expressed the wish: just not Bayern. "If you get Bayern, then you have to enjoy the game and know that this will be the last appearance in the DFB Cup," he said on TV channel Sky and added: "The others would probably have an even smaller one Chance as against Düsseldorf, but it would be there.
