Hertha BSC surprises in the DFB Cup: Dream of the final lives on!

Hertha BSC causes excitement in the DFB Cup! In a gripping duel, the team of coach Cristian Fiél defeated the Bundesliga club Heidenheim 2-1 and thus remains in the race for the final in the home Olympic Stadium. Despite an early red card for defender Arthur Theat, who was put off the pitch for the second time within just three days, Hertha fought bravely. Derry Scherhann and Michael Cuisance secured the goals for the Berliners, while Heidenheim was connected by Stefan Schimmer in the 89th minute. However, a later compensation was not recognized due to offside.

Eintracht Frankfurt also moves into the round of 16 after defeating Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1. Hugo Ekitiké put the Frankfurters in the lead shortly before the break, while Ko ItaKura equalized for Gladbach. Omar Marmoush finally scored the decisive goal for Frankfurt. SC Freiburg and Werder Bremen complete the round of the last 16 teams after winning their games against Hamburger SV and SC Paderborn. More about this at www.zvw.de .
