i'm curious if hertha bsc will make it to the semi-finals . that would be a great success for the berlin team . then one more win and they'll be in the final in their home stadium.
Hertha Berlin have been knocked out from the DFB Cup. They lost 1:3 against Kaiserslautern in their own stadium. Kaiserslautern now have the opportunity to play in the final in the Olympiastadion again.
Kaiserslautern deserved to win this match. But it was also a very boring game in many phases in the first half.
The other two quarter-final matches will take places next week.
This year's DFC cup really is special.
I don't think there have ever been 4 2nd league and 1 3rd league team in the final 8. And since the 4 2nd league teams played each other yesterday maybe there have never been 2 semi finalists from that league as well.
Would be so funny if one of those 2nd league teams would get a spot in a European cup next season.
Still a lot has to happen for this to come true but only having a chance is big.
I am not a fan of Kaiserslautern but I am a fan of teams with a long tradition in German football, and FCK is one of those teams for sure.
Unlucky for Leverkusen & Stuttgart they are facing each other. Every other team would have been some kind of a "walk in the park" but since Stuttgart is one of the top teams this year and Leverkusen is still unbeaten in German football this is the early final in this year's cup.
