The Köpenicker are warned, because St. Pauli defeated one of the title candidates in the last round of the cup with Dortmund.

"St.

Pauli is a team that is playing for promotion.

They didn't deserve to beat Borussia Dortmund at home in the cup either," said Union coach Urs Fischer before the two cult clubs met.

For Union, a win would mean the second semi-final entry in the DFB Cup* since 2001.

At that time, they even made it into the final, but the then regional league club's big dream was shattered after a 2-0 defeat against FC Schalke 04.

St. Pauli was also a sensational regional league team in the semi-finals in 2006, but was then held back by the eventual cup winners FC Bayern* with 0:3.
