Chance squandering and Dortmund's defensive woes in the cup

In the first round of the DFB Cup, FC St. Pauli were the visitors in their own stadium, as the match was played at the Millerntor at the request of Eintracht Norderstedt. Coach Alexander Blessin's team dominated early on, but his team missed several great opportunities, leaving nothing to show for the 120 minutes. However, the Hamburg side still managed to secure their place in the next round in a penalty shootout ( 3-2 ).

BVB also struggled to even advance to the next round of the DFB Cup. In the end, a spectacular goal from Dortmund's life insurance player Serhou Guirassy was enough to secure a 1-0 win against a passionately fighting Essen team. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel also played a crucial role in reaching the second round with his saves. As in Essen, Niko Kovac's team continues to be plagued by injury concerns. Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Süle, and Julian Ryerson are also missing for the game against St. Pauli. In addition, right-back Yan Couto had to be substituted after a nasty foul in Essen, but the Brazilian could be back on the pitch on Saturday against St. Pauli.
