Football second division Schalke 04 has reached the second round of the DFB Cup with great effort. At regional league 1. FC Lok Leipzig, the team of coach Miron Muslić only prevailed with 0: 1 (0-0). Schalke was missing the precision on the offensive. The Leipziger, trained by former Schalke professional Jochen Seitz, had good opportunities through Ayodele Adetula (41st) and Alexander Siebeck (44th). Bryan Lasme (107th) provided the winning goal in extra time.
The game was interrupted by incidents in the ranks. In the event of a throw-in, an object apparently flew towards Christopher Antwi-Adjei, who then looked for contact with the team around referee Max Burda. The suspicion of racist insults by fans is finally determined.
FV ESS 07 – ENTRINKER Frankfurt 0: 5 (0: 2)
Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt confidently mastered the first round of the DFB Cup after light starting difficulties. At the strong fighting top division FV Engers, the Champions League participant prevailed 5: 0 (2-0).

Doan (54.) followed up again in the second half, Elye Wahi (89th) and Paxten Aaronson (90.+1) provided the civil results.
Viktoria Köln – SC Paderborn 1: 3 (0: 3)

The third division club Viktoria Cologne only became more dangerous for Paderborn after half -time, but it was already 0: 3. Cologne was able to score a goal through David Otto (59.), but there was a lack of further chances, so that no further hits should follow.
Atlas Delmenhoorst – Borussia Mönchengladbach 2: 3 (2: 2)
Football Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach has only spent a disgrace in the first round. The team of coach Gerardo Seoane won 3-2 (2: 2) in Oldenburg against the self -sacrificing fifth league team Atlas Delmenhorst. It was only Nico Elvedi (68th) to victory for the foals, who had last failed in the first round of the DFB Cup in 2013. Robin Hack (20th, 38th) had previously brought the Gladbacher in the lead twice. However, Steffen Rohwedder (32nd) and Linus Urban (40th) were able to compensate for the winner of the Lower Saxony Cup.
Blau-Weiß Lohne-SpVgg Greuther Fürth 0: 2 (0: 0)
The SpVgg Greuther Fürth moves into the second round of the DFB Cup with a lackluster victory. The Fürther did not play impressive, but finally won.

The defensive of the Fürther ensured that the bravely fighting reward did not appear aggressively at all. Johannes Sabah von Lohne received the yellow-red card within two minutes (81st, 83.).

In the Karl Liebknecht Stadium of Potsdam, to which the RSV had to dodge, Fabian Kunze (11th) brought the finalist from 2024 on course. New signing Mahir Emreli (15th) and Ji-Sso Kim (24th) quickly caused peace with their goals. The other goals scored Daniel Hanslik (34th), the strong captain Marlon Ritter (48.), Tobias Raschl (71.) and Richmond Tachie (90.+1).
Jahn Regensburg – 1. FC Köln 1: 2 (0: 0)
In the last trains of the game, 1st FC Köln gave its new coach Lukas Kwasniok a successful competitive debut. The Bundesliga climber dramatically defeated the third division club Jahn Regensburg 1-2 (0-0). Despite the clear game control, the Cologne were lacking noteworthy conclusions, Regensburg meanwhile lurked on mistakes and, after a light -established loss of ball, came to the best chance of the first half (39.).
