The game was canceled on Wednesday after heavy rain made the pitch soft. There is no functioning drainage in the Ludwigspark in Saarbrücken.

The Lauterers won 3-1 at Hertha BSC in the quarter-finals, F95 won on penalties at FC St. Pauli (3-4). If 1. FC Saarbrücken pulls off the sensation against Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach, a third division team will even take part in the semi-finals.
