DFB Cup quarter-finals: 1. FC Saarbrücken vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach |
2:1 (1:1)
Next DFB Cup sensation: Saarbrücken throws Gladbach out at the last minute
The ticker for the game to read.
+++ CONCLUSION:
What a final point: 1. FC Saarbrücken scores an almost identical goal to the winning goal against Bayern and also knocks Borussia Mönchengladbach out of the competition.
This means that the Ziehl team is in the semi-finals and will face 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the Saar-Palatinate derby in their home stadium on April 2nd.
The end is very bitter for the foals, but it fits with the messed up season.
The Gladbachers didn't take advantage of their many chances in the first half and didn't do much offensively in the second half.
Saarbrücken made a late breakthrough and was rewarded in the last minute.
This means that only one Bundesliga team is in the semi-finals.
1. FC Saarbrücken – Borussia Mönchengladbach 2:1 (1:1)
Lineup 1. FC Saarbrücken: |
Schreiber – Gaus, Boeder, Zeitz, Thoelke, R. Becker (74th D. Becker) – Sontheimer (66th Civeja), Kerber – Rabihic (46th Günther-Schmidt), Brünker, Naifi (74th di Michele Sanchez) |
Lineup Borussia Mönchengladbach: |
Nicolas – Netz (82nd Lainer), Elvedi (82nd Scally), Itakura, Friedrich, Honorat – Weigl – Hack (69th Ngoumou), Neuhaus, Reitz (69th Koné) – Jordan |
Gates: |
0:1 Hack (8th minute), 1:1 Naifi (11th), 2:1 Brünker (90th + 3rd) |
Next DFB Cup sensation: Saarbrücken throws Gladbach out at the last minute
90th minute + 6: OFF! THE GAME IS OVER! 1. FC SAARBRÜCKEN CREATES THE NEXT CUP SENSATION AND MOVES INTO THE SEMI-FINALS!

90th minute + 3: GOOOOOOOOOOORRRR FOR SAARBRÜCKEN! THIS CAN NOT BE TRUE! The FCS scores again at the last minute. Sanchez goes through to the left and puts it in the middle. The ball slips through and Brünker shoots in. 2:1! Saarbrücken is very close to the sensation!

90th minute + 2:
And it gets really dangerous: Civeja's cross bounces off and Boeder shoots the ball that was left on the ball at the far corner.
Almost over!
90th minute:
Four minutes are replayed.
After a foul on Brünker there is another free kick for the FCS...
88th minute:
The home crowd is enthusiastic, there is hardly anything coming from Gladbach.
Saarbrücken is trying hard, but the FCS isn't really making any progress either.
The quality of the game dropped significantly in the second half.
85th minute:
The Saarbrücken team want it a little more now.
Although there are no real chances on their side either, Gaus in particular keeps going and is keen to make it to the semi-finals.
82nd minute:
Gerardo Seoane reacts: Lainer and Scally replace Elvedi and Netz.
The visitors' Swiss coach wants to see a lot more from his team.
80th minute:
There are no signs of a goal on either side.
Goal scoring opportunities are in short supply, nothing will change that.
The hosts are trying hard, the guests lack creativity and determination.
76th minute:
Will the FCS pull off the next cup miracle here at the last minute?
It was also 1-1 against Bayern for a long time before Marcel Gaus scored the celebrated winning goal in stoppage time and made the sensation perfect.
The fans continue to cheer on the third division team tirelessly, and it won't fail.
74th minute:
Rüdiger Ziehl makes the next changes.
Di Michele Sanchez replaces Naifi, while Dominik Becker takes the place of his namesake Robin.
72nd minute:
It remains disjointed with no real penalty area scenes.
So everything points to an extension.

69th minute:
And the Gladbachers also swap: goalscorer Hack and Reitz leave, and Koné and Ngoumou come on in the same position.
66th minute:
Becker and Kerber push Hack away near the corner flag, a throw-in for Saarbrücken.
And Becker celebrates it extensively, he lives this game!
63rd minute:
Sontheimer has to be careful now.
The clearer already has a yellow card and hits the advancing Elvedi in midfield with a body check.
Civeja will probably come into the game for him soon, Sontheimer can't afford any more foul play.
60th minute:
Hack with a good chance!
Jordan puts a high ball on the edge of the box to Hack, who sees that Schreiber is a little too far in front of his goal.
But his mixture of chip and pike shot lands on the goal net.
57th minute:
Now the FCS is trying again.
After a throw-in from Gaus from the left, things get a bit dangerous.
But Thoelke's header extension is nothing more than a great opportunity for Moritz Nicolas, who also stays warm.
He picks up the ball safely.
55th minute:
There are hardly any chances at the moment, a lot is happening between the penalty areas.
No wonder there is hardly any room for combinations.
53rd minute:
After a Gladbach corner, Naifi dribbles hard and then comes clearly too late against Jordan.
Clear yellow card, no question.
Contested rain battle between Saarbrücken and Gladbach: DFB Cup live
49th minute:
Things remain competitive at the start of the second half.
Saarbrücken is playing well and underpinning their ambitions for the semi-finals.
47th minute:
First good action from the home team: a good cross flies into the penalty area from the right, but Brünker rushes past it.
46th minute: The game is back on track and the second half begins.

+++
Things will continue in a few moments.
The Saarbrücken team changes.
Julian Günther-Schmidt replaces Kasim Rabihic.
45th minute + 2: HALF TIME! At the end of the first half there is a draw. The Gladbachers had more of the game, but the draw is not undeserved. It continues to rain and the conditions certainly won't get any easier in the second round. Both teams have to continue to fight and fight their way into the semi-finals.
45th minute:
A header from Jordan after a corner is more of a shot with the shoulder.
He doesn't hit the ball correctly, but Schreiber picks it up safely.
Two minutes are replayed.
43rd minute:
Again a Saarbrücken standard situation, this time a free kick, almost results in a Gladbach counterattack.
But the guests don't play the situation well, no danger for Schreiber.
39th minute:
Naifi with an offensive sign of life from Saarbrücken.
After a good extension from Brünker, he tries from a tight angle on the right in the penalty area, but his attempt is clearly too high.
No problem for Nicolas in the Gladbach goal.
38th minute:
The game isn't looking good at the moment.
It's getting rougher, which can also be attributed to the track in the Ludwigsparkstadion.
It's been raining for hours, the grass is deep and the ball isn't moving well.
36th minute:
The Foals have significantly more possession of the ball.
A lot is going on with Neuhaus, who wants to take over the game.
It didn't become imperative in the last few minutes, Saarbrücken was deep, but Gladbach didn't give up.
32nd minute:
The hosts also receive their first warning.
Patrick Sontheimer fouls Neuhaus impetuously on the left, but the six-man promptly blocks the following free kick so that nothing burns.
30th minute:
The Gladbachers are now clear about the game and are pushing for the second goal.
But the exploitation of opportunities has so far left much to be desired.
28th minute:
Elvedi comes too late against Rabihic and rightly receives the first yellow card of the game.
25th minute:
Gladbach's next dangerous move.
After a header from Jordan, Neuhaus shoots from a tight angle, but the attempt is cleared out of the goal.
Closely fought: Gladbach's Rocco Reitz (l.) against Saarbrücken's Bjarne Thoelke (r.).

24th minute:
The grass is deep, the legs are getting heavy and the duels are increasing: this has been a textbook cup evening so far!
21st minute:
Honorat Gaus again moves away to the right and passes it to Hack from the goal line.
But the ex-Bielefeld player doesn't hit the ball optimally, his shot goes well over the box.
18th minute: BOEDER ON THE LINE!
What's going on here?
Gladbach counters.
Neuhaus finishes, Schreiber lets it bounce to the left, where Hack is waiting.
His direct finish turns into the perfect template for Honorat, who has to maneuver the ball into the empty goal.
But Boeder has something against it and scratches the ball off the line.
It goes back and forth here, this is the DFB Cup!
15th minute:
Boeder tries very ambitiously to turn from around 30 meters, but the ball misses quite clearly.
There's really a lot on offer here so far, a great game!

14th minute:
Almost the next goal!
Thoelke is the last man to lose the ball to Reitz, who initially dances it out.
But the youngster takes too long in the penalty area and allows Thoelke to make up for his mistake.
That was close!
11th minute: THAT DOESN'T EXIST! 1:1! NAIFI STRIKES BACK FOR SAARBRÜCKEN! The FCS comes into the transition movement via Rabihic in a majority situation. His pass to Brünker on the right is blocked, but Naifi takes courage from around 20 meters and hits the corner beautifully! No chance for Nicolas, the immediate equalizer!
8th minute: GOOOOOORRR FOR BORUSSIA MÖNCHENGLADBACH! 1:0 FOR THE GUESTS! The first corner flies around Saarbrücken's ears. Neuhaus hits the ball forward. Gaus misses, clearing the way for the quick Honorat, who is in front of Schreiber on the right in the penalty area, keeps track of things and passes it to Hack, who slides in very coolly. 1:0 for the foals!
7th minute:
Good attack from Saarbrücken.
Gaus is beautifully sent to the left and passes to his right counterpart half-right in front of the penalty area.
Becker quickly takes the shot there after a short interception, but his deflected shot goes over the goal.
The following corner brings nothing.
4th minute:
Saarbrücken's first goal!
Rabihic dribbles against Elvedi on the right and moves into the penalty area.
He resets and hits the ball well, but clearly misses the far corner.
3rd minute:
The guests apparently really act in a chain of three or five.
2nd minute:
The Foals also attack for the first time, but Honorat's cross from the right finds no taker.
1st minute: The ball is rolling!
Saarbrücken starts right away, but the first attack ends abruptly due to an offside position.
Update, 8:29 p.m.:
Both clubs are stuck in the gray midfield in the league.
Can they continue to cause a stir in the cup?
The game starts in a few moments, the FCS in white jerseys kicks off.
Update, 8:27 p.m.:
The atmosphere in the sold-out Ludwigsparkstadion is great, the teams are now lining up.
Update, 8:22 p.m.:
FCS sports director Jürgen Luginger expects a “fight,” as he said on ZDF before the game.
He believes in the self-confidence of his team, which has already defeated the big teams from Munich and Frankfurt.
Update, 8:15 p.m.:
The last cup quarter-final starts in Saarbrücken in 15 minutes.
It's raining again, but not as hard as it was about a month ago.
This means: The game is taking place, it can begin!
Update, 8:11 p.m.:
The hosts were last in the semi-finals four years ago (0-3 against Bayer Leverkusen), then sensationally as a fourth division team.
They would like to repeat this coup today.
But Borussia is also looking at the round of the last four, which they last reached seven years ago.
In 2017 she failed in the penalty shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Update, 7:56 p.m.:
The last meeting between the two teams was over 23 years ago.
On December 17, 2000, Borussia visited Saarbrücken in the 2nd Bundesliga and won comfortably 4-0.
Markus “Jimmy” Osthoff, who was born in Saarbrücken and went through the youth department of the FCS, scored to make it 2-0.
The now 53-year-old also played for the club's second and first team before landing in the Lower Rhine via Eintracht Trier and MSV Duisburg 2000.
Cup catch-up game live today: Surprising Gladbach starting eleven against FCS
Update, 7:43 p.m.:
The lineups of both teams are known!
As expected, FCS coach Rüdiger Ziehl changed the offensive line after the third division match against Erzgebirge Aue and brought in the slightly more agile Kasim Rabihic and Amine Naifi.
Kai Brünker also starts in the storm center.
Somewhat surprisingly, left-back Calogero Rizzuto is initially on the bench, with Robin Becker starting in his place.
And Gerardo Seoane on the Gladbach side also has an unusual first eleven.
The score sheet shows three nominal central defenders.
Including Ko Itakura, who replaces Maximilian Wöber in the defense center, who is out with muscle stiffness.
In addition, Marvin Friedrich moves into the first eleven.
A five-man chain with Luca Netz and Franck Honorat as rail players with an offensive orientation is also conceivable for the guests.
Alternatively, have Seoane play in a formation with four defenders, with Elvedi playing on the right.
Rocco Reitz and Robin Hack, who played strongly against Cologne on Saturday, alongside Florian Neuhaus should ensure creativity in the midfield.
Update from Tuesday, March 12th, 7:29 p.m.:
There is still an hour until kick-off of the cup quarter-finals between FCS and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
It's a very special game for guest player Patrick Herrmann.
The 33-year-old played in the hosts' youth team for four years until 2008 and was born in Saarbrücken.
“I used to always root for the professionals and see myself as part of the club.
I’m happy when things go well at FCS,” Herrmann told the
Rheinische Post
before the encounter .
However, he will certainly make an exception this evening.
DFB Cup quarter-finals will be rescheduled: Gladbach will be visiting Saarbrücken
First report from Tuesday, March 12th, 4:31 p.m.:
Saarbrücken - Now the time has finally come: 1. FC Saarbrücken and Borussia Mönchengladbach meet in the DFB Cup quarter-finals (all information about the TV broadcast).
The duel was actually scheduled for February 7th, but could not take place due to heavy rain.
The next sensation awaits Saarbrücken.
For Gladbach, however, the cup is a great opportunity to bring a messed up season to a conciliatory end.
No further rain cancellation: the cup game in Saarbrücken will probably take place
About a month ago everything was ready for a great DFB Cup evening in Saarbrücken.
But the constant rain thwarted the hosts and VfL's plans.
The game was therefore canceled and will now be rescheduled.
However, the weather forecast gave the organizers another worry in advance: rain is on the cards for the cup evening.
But a few hours before the match kicked off, the Saarbrücken team gave the all-clear: the FCS cup quarter-final against Borussia Mönchengladbach will probably take place.
This was preceded by an inspection of the pitch by representatives of the city, the home team and the DFB on Tuesday afternoon.
They found the condition of the lawn to be good, and the forecast rainfall would apparently not have a significant impact on this.

DFB Cup live: Will Saarbrücken create the next sensation against Gladbach?
The Saarbrücken team has the chance to pull off a big coup on Tuesday evening.
The third division team, which has already embarrassed FC Bayern and beat Eintracht Frankfurt this season, wants to create the next sensation.
Progressing against the “Fohlen” would also mean a derby in the round of the last four for the FCS: the winner of the game will face 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the semi-finals.
But Borussia also wants to achieve this.
Gerardo Seoane's men are having a mixed season in the Bundesliga.
However, a triumph in the cup could compensate for this.
The “Elf vom Niederrhein” is only three wins away from that.
However, the Gladbach coach warned in advance of a “difficult task” in Saarland.
Will 1. FCS throw the next Bundesliga team out of the cup?
Or will the foals keep their chance of winning their first title since 1995?
