Eintracht Frankfurt will travel to 1. FC Saarbrücken in the round of 16 of the 2023/24 DFB Cup, after the draw was made on Sunday afternoon.
The third-division club grabbed the headlines when they beat record DFB Cup winners FC Bayern Munich at home in the second round 2-1. Prior to that, coach Rüdiger Ziehl’s men had seen off Karlsruher SC by the same scoreline in the first round proper.
Head coach Dino Toppmöller: “Saarbrücken knocked FC Bayern out of the competition and beat second-division KSC in the first round. That alone shows the potential of our next DFB Cup opponents. We’ll obviously approach this task with complete commitment and we’re looking forward to the tie.”
The last 16 ties will be played on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 December, with kick-off times to be confirmed later.
