Waldhof Mannheim – Eintracht Frankfurt 2: 0 (0: 0)
Oliver Glasner’s debut on the Eintracht Frankfurt coaching bench went completely wrong. The Bundesliga team lost 2-0 (0-0) at the third division team Waldhof Mannheim at the beginning of the cup and said goodbye to the national cup competition. Marcel Seegert (48th) and Joseph Boyamba (52nd) ensured with their goals in the south-west duel that Waldhof is in the second round for the first time in almost 20 years. Eintracht, in which the entrants Christopher Lenz, Jesper Lindström and Rafael Santos Borré were in the starting eleven, also weakened itself after 62 minutes: Martin Hinteregger saw the yellow-red card. There is still a lot of work waiting for Glasner and Frankfurt before the start of the league next Saturday at Borussia Dortmund.
