German Cup Upset: Saarbrücken Knocks Out Frankfurt in Quarter-Finals

Updated 00.35 | Published 2023-12-06 20.18

In the last round, Saarbrücken knocked out Bayern Munich.

Tonight, Hugo Larsson knocked the ball away.

And then Frankfurt fell against the third division team in the round of 16 of the German Cup.

Hugo Larsson has had a brilliant start in Frankfurt and there is already talk of bigger tasks.

But when the team rotated in the cup, the Swede started on the bench – and when the 19-year-old was to come in and reverse the disadvantage, he did not succeed.

On the contrary.

After just one minute on the pitch, the Swede lost the ball twice before Saarbrücken extended the lead to 2-0.

The season’s rabble-rousing gang

Then twelve minutes remained, but there were no more goals.

Thus, Saarbrücken’s new giant scare is a fact, and they advance to the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

The team is eleventh in the German third division, while Frankfurt is seventh in the top league – in the German league system, the clubs have 36 teams between them.

Bayern next

It’s also not the first time Saarbrücken messes up in the German Cup – in 2020 they made it all the way to the semi-finals.

Who will be the opposition in this year’s quarter-finals will be determined during the draw on December 10.

The day before, they face Freiburg U23 in the league game.

For Frankfurt, the next task is against another of Saarbrücken’s victims – Bayern Munich.
