DFB Cup: Bayer 04 away to Saarbrücken in semis
The Werkself are away to Regional League FC Saarbrücken in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup. That was the outcome of today’s draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
The Germany women’s team goalkeeper Almuth Schult made the draw. The VfL Wolfsburg keeper, who is currently on maternity leave, gave the Black and Reds their first ever DFB Cup tie against Saarbrücken. It remains to be seen which venue will host the clash with the Werkself. The semi-finals will be played on 21 and 22 April.
Bayer 04 sporting director Simon Rolfes on the draw: “We want to get to the final. And the route is now via FC Saarbrücken. They have consistently produced good performances against high-quality teams up to now and they deserve to be in the semi-finals. But, of course, we want to come out on top. Our target is Berlin!”
Ticket information will be available on the Bayer 04 club media channels in the next few days.
The semi-final ties:
Bayern Munich v Eintracht Frankfurt
FC Saarbrücken v Bayer 04 Leverkusen
