Scenes in Germany as third-tier Saarbrucken - who knocked out Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich - reach DFB-Pokal semi-finals with last-minute giant-killing of Borussia Monchengladbach

The 3. Liga team hosted Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach in the quarter-finals of the competition on Tuesday. They found themselves a goal down just eight minutes into the clash at the Ludwigspark Stadion but pulled level three minutes later. They managed to hold off the pressure from their top-flight opponents for the rest of the half and put up a better fight after the break, despite Gladbach enjoying the lion's share of possession. Incredibly, the home team managed to seal the victory when Kai Brunker popped up in stoppage time to make it 2-1.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">WHAT A STORY! 😱🔥 Third division Saarbrücken continue their giant-killing DFB-Pokal run 👏 They score in added-time against Borussia Mönchengladbach to reach the Semi-Final stage of the competition 🤩 <a href="https://t.co/y5LRqdAY8d">pic.twitter.com/y5LRqdAY8d</a>— Premier Sports (@PremSportsTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/PremSportsTV/status/1767664198455017784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 12, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Match-winner Bunker was elated after the game and told Sky: "I'm just proud of everyone right now. I could just cry. I don't know what will happen today. Now we can aim for the final." Saarbrucken coach Rudiger Ziehl added: "The fact that we managed to do what we did is really crazy,"

WHAT BUNKER SAID

Gladbach are the third Bundesliga side to be knocked out by the third-tier team. After beating Karlsruher in the first round, they were paired with Bundesliga champions Bayern and emerged with a 2-1 win. They then beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the round of 16.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ziehl's team will come up against 2. Bundesliga team Kaiserslautern in the semi-finals of the competition. Only one Bundesliga team remain in the competition, with runaway leaders Bayer Leverkusen facing Fortuna Dusseldorf in the other last-four tie.
