At the end of the first cup round, fellow favorite Dortmund competes at Essen. Here you can find out which broadcaster the game shows live.
Borussia Dortmund has a short journey in the first round of the DFB Cup. The black and yellow occur only around 35 kilometers away at Rot-Weiss Essen. The third division club wants to ensure the big surprise in the home stadium on Hafenstrasse. The Bundesliga club, on the other hand, wants to meet his role as favorites and avoid a cup flamage.
Under coach Uwe Koschinat, the Esseners who have already started in league operations (two draws) want to annoy their big neighbors with passionate football. Dortmund travels with coach Niko Kovač and has clear ambitions on the cup victory after a mixed pre -season. It is one of the biggest games in recent years for the Essen fans – and Hafenstrasse is completely sold out.
17 years ago, the two traditional clubs met for the last time in the trophy. At that time, the Borussians under coach Jürgen Klopp won 3-1 with RWE.
The current chief coach is aware of the very explosive task: “This will be an intensive game. The hut is burning there. It is our goal to control the game as quickly as possible. But we want to reduce it to a mandatory task and take the opponent very seriously,” but we are the Bundesliga club, “said Kovač and warned:” If we believe it is possible, then it will be a long evening. “
