VfB Stuttgart easily advance to the DFB Cup quarter-finals. Meanwhile, SC Freiburg failed against Arminia Bielefeld.
No time? blue Sport summarizes for you
- VfB Stuttgart are through to the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup.
- The Swabians win 3:0 against Regensburg. Leonidas Stergiou sits on the bench for 90 minutes, Fabian Rieder plays 81 minutes.
- SC Freiburg lose 3-1 at Arminia Bielefeld.
VfB Stuttgart reached the DFB Cup quarter-finals after a radical rotation and can continue to dream of a trip to Berlin. Without Alexander Nübel, Maximilian Mittelstädt or Ermedin Demirovic in their starting eleven, the Swabian Champions League starters won 3:0 (2:0) at second division bottom club SSV Jahn Regensburg.
Three days before the Bundesliga home game against 1. FC Union Berlin, a Stuttgart starting eleven that had been changed in seven positions was at least a class too strong for the team from the Upper Palatinate, who can now concentrate exclusively on their complicated project of avoiding relegation. Stuttgart will find out their opponent in the quarter-finals in the draw on December 15.
Berlin is not far away
Enzo Millot (10th minute) and Anrie Chase (19th) quickly robbed the harmless Jahn of any hope of a sensation in front of 15,210 spectators. Nick Woltemade (61) rounded off a successful tour of duty for VfB, who were even unlucky when substitute Demirovic (74) hit the post.
Ah, Berlin. Sebastian Hoeness is really looking forward to the trip to the final in the Olympic Stadium on May 24. It's already a "dream" and with the quarter-finals "not so far away", said the Stuttgart coach in the run-up.
Freiburg loses to Bielefeld
SC Freiburg embarrassed themselves in the round of 16 of the German Cup. The Bundesliga club was deservedly defeated 1:3 by Arminia Bielefeld from the 3rd division.
As in the previous year, Freiburg failed against a team from a lower division. Last season, second-division team Paderborn meant the end of the line in the 2nd round; now the third-placed team in the 3rd division was too strong. After Michael Gregoritsch scored the final goal (63'), the favorites had a glimpse of hope. Louis Oppie snuffed them out ten minutes from time. Florent Muslija had missed miserably from the spot for Freiburg after around a quarter of an hour.
Stuttgart had no problems with Jahn Regensburg. The Bundesliga side, with Fabian Rieder starting and Leonidas Stergiou on the bench for 90 minutes, won 3-0 at the bottom of the 2nd division.
