Essen Stadium, Germany /
The DFB cup is converted into the tournament giant killer from Germany! Last Tuesday a performance was made with the Red and white foods as a protagonist, since this Fourth Division club eliminated Bayer Leverkusen in the third round, former Chicharito Hernández team that is fifth in the Bundesliga.
The Red and white foods, founded in 1907 and currently play in the Regionalliga West, one of the five regional leagues that make up the fourth tier of German football, beat Aspirins 2-1 at home, which had left Frankfurt in the second round.
The winning goals were from Oguzhan Kefkir at minute 108 and Simon Engelmann at minute 117, coming from behind, as on minute 105, the visitors led the scoreboard with a goal from Leon Bailey.
While it is currently little known worldwide, Rot-Weiss Essen won the German football championship in 1955, what is now known as the Bundesliga and in 1953 the German Cup was lifted.
Bayern Munich was fired by the club from 2nd place
As we said, Leverkusen is not the only Bundesliga club to play a role in this edition of the cup, since two weeks ago Bayern Munich remained in the second round against KSV Holstein in penalty shootouts.
The fact is, you don’t have to worry.
