Alemannia Aachen Away

In the next round of the German cup (DFB-Pokal) Eintracht Frankfurt will play away to 2. Bundesliga team Alemannia Aachen (currently 9th). The two have met during last season's competition already when Eintracht beat Aachen at home 6-4 in the second round.

Eintracht manager Michael Skibbe seemed happy: 'I would have preferred a home game, also for our fans but I'm satisfied with the draw. We're favourites playing a league above them but we're also warned, Aachen just beat Mainz in the last round who are also a Bundesliga team.'

Midfielder Patrick Ochs who had played his very first professional match for Eintracht v Alemannia: 'It will be a tense game, I'm happy with the draw. There's always a heated atmosphere at the Tivoli stadium in Aachen, we'll need to be aware of that and stay fully focussed during the game.'

The games of the next round will be held on 21st/22nd of December 2010. Details regarding the ticketing for this fixture will be announced in due course.
