🚨 Second round draw revealed, these ties await us in the DFB-Pokal

The first round is "in the books", as they say, and it did not disappoint us this year either - many lower-class teams sniffed at the surprise for a long time, even if only two managed to prevail against the favorite in the end: Regional league team Illertissen knocked out Nuremberg and Cottbus was the only third division team to advance - after a victory against Hannover 96.

The performance of last season's finalist Arminia Bielefeld against Werder Bremen made us want more - and more cup action is coming in just under two months, when the remaining 32 teams will fight for a place in the cup round of 16 on October 28 and 29.
