Cup fright Saarbrücken (4th league) strikes again and embarrassed the KSC in the penalty shootout.
After second division club Regensburg (3: 2) and Bundesliga club Cologne (3: 2), the Karlsruhe SC must also believe in it. 1. FC Saarbrücken, first in the Regionalliga Südwest, hits the second division side in the replacement stadium in Völklingen 5: 3 n.E. out and is sensational in the quarterfinals!
There is a proud 1,404,000 euro premium from the DFB!
The fourth division fought from the start, but did not get their first shot in the 47th minute. In the regular season it doesn’t work with the miracle – but it does in the penalty shootout. Karlsruhe’s Pisot shoots the decisive 911, paves the way for the regional league to the quarter-finals.
New coach Lukas Kwasniok (38) makes his debut. He has been coach of 1.FC Saarbrücken since December 23, but has not played a competitive game due to the long winter break in the regional league. He came for Dirk Lottner (47), who was fired in first place in the league and in the cup round of 16.
The premiere of Christian Eichner (37) at the KSC, on the other hand, is going badly. The actual assistant coach took over after Alois Schwartz’s (52) dismissal after the 0-2 defeat against Kiel. After four league bankruptcies in a row, the KSC crisis has now also reached the cup.
After the knockout round of Verl against Union Berlin (0: 1), Saarbrücken is the last remaining fourth division in the competition.
