Elversberg's Dream Run Continues
TSG Elversberg, a third-tier German football club, shocked the football world by eliminating Bundesliga giants Borussia Mönchengladbach from the DFB Pokal (German Cup) in a stunning second-round upset.
Playing in front of their home crowd, Elversberg took an early lead through Kevin Koffi's 12th-minute goal. Mönchengladbach equalized through Lars Stindl in the 22nd minute, but Elversberg regained the lead just before halftime with a goal from Luca Schnellbacher.
Mönchengladbach pushed for an equalizer in the second half, but Elversberg's defense held firm, and they secured a famous 2-1 victory. The result marks the first time a third-tier team has eliminated a top-flight club from the DFB Pokal since 2017.
