Hannover (dpa / lni) – Second division soccer team Hannover 96 will face Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach in a home game in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup. That was the result of the draw on Sunday evening in the ARD sports show. After almost 30 years, the 1992 final will be relaunched on January 18 or 19. At that time, Lower Saxony had won 4: 3 on penalties against the favored Gladbachers. The hero of the final was goalkeeper Jörg Sievers with two penalty kicks saved. To date it was the only victory of a second division team in the DFB Cup.
“Maybe that is a good omen for us,” said Hanover coach Jan Zimmermann, referring to the history: “At home under floodlights against the Bayern conqueror – everyone can look forward to that. Our focus in the next few weeks is clearly on the 2nd division. ” In the second main round, the 96ers prevailed 3-0 against league rivals Fortuna Düsseldorf on Wednesday. The Mönchengladbachers cause a big surprise with a 5-0 win over record cup winners FC Bayern Munich.
