Borussia Dortmund prevailed in an exciting second round game of the DFB Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt and thus underlined their ambitions to win the cup. After a nerve-wracking penalty shootout that ended 4-2 in Dortmund’s favor, they celebrated their move into the round of 16. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel became the hero of the evening with his saves and received huge applause from the fans who had traveled with him.
The game started promisingly for the hosts from Frankfurt, who took the lead in the seventh minute through Ansgar Knauff. But Dortmund, who have only been defeated once this season, were unimpressed and fought their way back into the game. Julian Brandt equalized shortly after half-time, which took the game into an exciting extra time.
The game remained closely contested in extra time, with both teams having chances to win the game. Frankfurt were particularly unlucky when a shot from Ritsu Doan hit the crossbar. Ultimately, the penalty shootout had to bring the decision, in which Gregor Kobel shone with a decisive save against Fares Chaibi.
The win against Frankfurt could be an important boost for Dortmund for the current season. BVB, which was not always able to convince last season, has shown itself to be a cohesive unit with a strong team spirit this season. Coach Niko Kovac has managed to form the team into a close-knit community that is ready to give everything for success. The Dortmund fans are now dreaming of another cup victory that could pave their way to Berlin.
