Cup Cracker:
TSG travel to BVB

Nia Künzer made the draw on Sunday evening and gave Hoffenheim a tough task. Markus Gisdol's side travel to Borussia Dortmund on either the 7th or 8th April.

Alexander Rosen, TSG's sporting director, had this to say after the draw: “Obviously we would have preferred a home tie, but travelling to Signal-Iduna-Park and playing under floodlights in front of 80,000 spectators is a great challenge. Games like this are the reason you play football and we want to reach the semis for the first time.”

The sides have met previously in the competition. The meeting took place in the 2007/08 season, when TSG were a second division side. Once again, it was a quarter final encounter. BVB won 3-1 thanks to goals from Federico, Tinga and Petric; Francisco Copado scored for TSG. Hopefully it will be a different outcome this time…
