DFB-Pokal: Only one winner from the last 30 years left in the cup

After the premature end of record winners* Bayern Munich and cup defender Borussia Dortmund, there will only be one winner in the last 30 years among the last eight teams in the DFB Cup*. Hannover 96, who surprisingly won the final against Borussia Mönchengladbach* as a second division team in 1992, and Gladbach, who were successful three years later, will meet on Wednesday evening. The last time there was a quarter-final without FC Bayern and BVB was in 2007. In that competition, Dortmund coached by Dutchman Bert van Marwijk lost 1-0 at home to then-Bundesliga side* Hannover 96 in the second round. Goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller saw the game red card for a hand ball outside the penalty area,Shortly before the end, referee Felix Brych took back an alleged penalty kick for Borussia because of a swallow at the intervention of his assistant - there was no video evidence at the time.

DFB Cup sensations have a great history, will the next ones follow today?

In the round of 16, shortly before Christmas 2006, Munich were knocked out of the cup for the second time in a few years at the Tivoli in Aachen. Bundesliga promoted Alemannia celebrated a 4-2 victory over Felix Magath's Bayern, for whom substitute Lukas Podolski and Mark van Bommel were only able to shorten the gap after the 3-0 loss at half-time. Even today's ARD expert Bastian Schweinsteiger, his later world champion colleague Philipp Lahm and current sports director Hasan Salihamidzic were unable to prevent the end that later Bayern professional Jan Schlaudraff sealed shortly before the end of regular time. This season, the record champions were eliminated in the second round due to the 0:5 bankruptcy in Mönchengladbach. Dortmund * followed on Tuesday evening in the round of 16 with the 1: 2 at second division leaders FC St.Pauli. (acknowledgment with dpa)
