DFB Cup on Sunday
FC Schalke 04 made it through to the second round of the DFB Cup with coach Frank Kramer making his competitive debut. The five-time cup winner won 5-0 (4-0) at fourth-division club Bremer SV on Sunday. Dominick Drexler (12th/33rd minute) scored twice for the Bundesliga returnee.
The big favorite from the Ruhr area gave the regional league promoted no chance from the start in front of 10,000 spectators in Oldenburg, 40 kilometers from Bremen. Even without the ailing Simon Terodde and Danny Latza, but with seven newcomers, the Kramer team dominated the hosts at will.

Rodrigo Zalazar gave Schalke the quick lead after just three minutes. Two minutes later, another player should have scored: Former Bochum player Sebastian Polter failed with a penalty kick on BSV goalkeeper Malte Seemann. Drexler then scored the second goal. The offensive player hit the far corner with a shot.
The defense around the central defender Maya Yoshida, who was signed from Genoa and who played as captain on Sunday, had few problems against the team of ex-Bundesliga striker Torsten Gütschow. Only an attempt by Allah Aid Hamid narrowly missed the Schalke goal (13′). On the other side, Drexler was able to increase again. An own goal by Bremen captain Sebastian Kmiec made it 4-0 at the break (39′).
After the 0:12 against FC Bayern Munich in the first round of the cup last season, Bremer SV showed more courage after the break. Nikky Goguadze tested the new Schalke keeper Alexander Schwolow (47th) with a shot from 16 meters.
Schalke coach Kramer replaced the brother of Bayern professional Leroy Sané in Sidi Sané. Sturm partner Polter remained in the spotlight for the time being. The attacker missed the fifth goal several times. Defender Marcin Kaminski did better, heading in after a corner to make it 5-0 (83′).

SV Sandhausen progresses confidently against BSV Rehden
SV Sandhausen also reached the second round without any major problems. The tenth place in the second division won 4-0 (3-0) at the Lower Saxony club BSV Rehden from the Regionalliga Nord. The team from the district of Diepholz could hardly oppose the superior Kurpfälzer. The double goal scorer Janik Bachmann (23rd/45th minute), Ahmed Kutucu (32nd) and Aleksandr Zhirov (51st) ensured in front of around 1,500 spectators that Sandhausen won at no point in time.
