The slaughter of Bundesliga clubs continued on Wednesday in 8is final of the German Cup, with the elimination of Mönchengladbach, who defeated Bayern Munich in the previous round. For its part, Leipzig logically won 2-0 at home against Rostock (D2).
Borussia, who played with Yann Sommer and Nico Elvedi, fell heavily 3-0 against Hannover, current 12e of the classification in the second division. Beier opened the brand from the 4e minute for the hosts and Kerk doubled the lead just before halftime (36e). The entry into the second half of Denis Zakaria and Breel Embolo did not change the case. Gladbach even conceded a third goal by Beier, in the 51ste minute.
On Tuesday evening, defending champion Dortmund was trapped 2-1 by St. Pauli, leader of D2, as well as Cologne, eliminated on penalties (1-1, 4-3) by Hamburg, also a resident of D2 .
A very clear picture now opens in front of RB Leipzig, still in search of its first title since the club’s rise to the first division in 2016.
Unlucky finalist of the cup last season, the Saxon club will be one of four D1 clubs in the quarter-finals, with the promoted Bochum, already qualified, as well as Union Berlin and Freiburg.
The Union won, in front of 2,000 spectators, the Berlin derby on the lawn of Hertha (3-2), and Freiburg went to teach Hoffenheim (4-1), with a double from the Italian Vincenzo Grifo.
