RB Leipzig triumphs: Schalke out, Bremen falls in the DFB Cup!

What an exciting day in the DFB Junior Cup! The U19s from RB Leipzig prevailed in the duel against FC Schalke 04 and moved into the next round with a clear 4:2 (3:1). Leipzig's goal scorers were Yohan Kouatcha, who scored the first goal in the 10th minute, and Viggo Gebel, who shone with two goals (31st, 42nd). Schalke was able to reduce the deficit through Ben Weber (45'+1) and Jonas Dieckmann (81'), but Mads Bröcker made the final score with his goal in stoppage time (90'+2). This means Schalke leaves the cup round as a loser, and Leipzig is happy about moving into the round of the best 32, like them DFB website reported.

The draw was less pleasant for the defending champions SV Werder Bremen. The Green-Whites suffered a 0-2 (0-0) defeat against FC St. Pauli. Jesper Becker started the disaster in the 55th minute, followed by another goal from Calvin Finn Rahr in the 74th minute. A bitter setback for Bremen, who now had to bury their hope of successfully defending their title.

An afternoon full of surprises

But there was a surprising turn of events not only in Bremen and Leipzig, but also in the game between FC Bayern Munich and FC Hansa Rostock. Bayern were initially in the lead, but Rostock equalized in the second half through Bennett Peters (61') and Cadem Arnold Weber (90'+2). After a goalless extra time, the penalty shootout had to decide, which Rostock won 4-3. An outstanding comeback for Rostock!

There was another notable appearance in the match between Hombrucher SV and Fortuna Düsseldorf. Despite an early own goal from Niklas Kleine (25th), Hombrucher SV managed to turn the game around with an impressive 4-1. Two goals from Elias Abid Ouabbou in the 63rd and 77th minutes catapulted the team into the lead, while Darin Quiala-Tito (89th) and Simon Strothmüller (90th + 2) finally decided the game.

A look outside the box

While the football world is still discussing the exciting cup round, cricket is also causing a stir. On the Official ICC website The available transmission areas for the ECB's summer content were listed, in which Austria is also represented. This could certainly appeal to some sports lovers in the region and increase anticipation for the upcoming games.

On the other hand, it shows that the discussion about the use of language is not only limited to sport. A learning platform pointed out that the expression “qu’est-ce qui” should be avoided in well-maintained language. Instead, in “Bon usage,” Grevisse recommends using “ce qui” as a more elegant alternative, which might provide an interesting linguistic insight for some.
