Fourth-division Saarbrucken’s record-breaking run to the German Cup semifinals came to an end with a 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.
Saarbrucken had to win a regional cup last year to even qualify for this season’s German Cup. It was playing for the first time since March because its season in the South-West Regional League was abandoned amid the pandemic. The defence showed signs of rust for Leverkusen’s goals.
Karim Bellarabi made it 3-0 in the 58th after the Saarbrucken defence hesitated too long in clearing the ball. “Empty stands, full cash registers,” one large banner read in a message aimed at the German soccer federation and the Bundesliga’s governing body. “Your business is still ill.”
