Thanks to its top French duo, Borussia Mönchengladbach remained unbeaten in the seventh competitive game of the year and made it into the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup for the first time since 2017.

Coach Marco Rose's team won 2: 1 (1: 1) at VfB Stuttgart despite an early deficit.

Shooting star Silas Wamangituka scored for VfB in the second minute after a great solo.

The French offensive aces Marcus Thuram (45th + 1) and Alassane Plea (50th) turned the game in favor of the guests.

VfB used its first attack to take the lead.

As in the 2-0 win against FSV Mainz 05 in the league last Friday, Wamangituka was unstoppable in his run over half the place.

When he arrived in the penalty area, he let his opponent Stefan Lainer slip into the void and then carefully pushed into the right corner.

It was already the 13th competitive goal of the Congolese this season.

The Gladbachers needed a good quarter of an hour before they were dangerous - but then right away.

After a solo effort, Thuram brought the ball over the right wing into the six-yard box, where VfB defender Waldemar Anton was just able to prevent an own goal by his colleague Konstantinos Mavropanos.

In stoppage time of the first round, however, the guests found the gap.

Thuram came back on the right, pulled past Marc Oliver Kempf after a pass from Stindl and executed halfway up into the left corner.

Shortly before that, Didavi rightly refused to give another VfB goal due to offside (45th).

The Gladbacher opening goal by Plea five minutes after the break was suspect, but still compliant with the rules.

After a mistake in the Stuttgart build-up, Lainer sent the 27-year-old over the right side - and when he graduated, he also benefited from the fact that VfB goalkeeper Bredlow had slipped away when he ran out.

The hosts then intensified their offensive efforts again and came through Sasa Kaladjzic (61st, 65th) to two header chances.

Ultimately, Borussia brought home their second away win since the turn of the year.

The penalty specialists of SSV Jahn Regensburg have crowned their comeback qualities against 1. FC Köln and made it into the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup for the first time.

The second division turned a 0: 2 deficit and blocked the Rhineland first division side in the 6: 5 (2: 2, 2: 2) after penalties for the first time among the best eight teams in eleven years.

As in the first two rounds, the Regensburg team proved to be a ripped-off team in the knockout duels between the shooter and the goalkeeper.

The Cologne coach Markus Gisdol, however, missed the decision on Wednesday evening in regular time when Emmanuel Dennis (78th minute) failed with a hand penalty.

Ismail Jakobs (4th minute) and loaned Dennis with his debut goal (22nd) for FC gave Cologne a spectacular first half.

Scott Kennedy (35th) and Jann George (44th) equalized for the Regensburg team under the floodlights.
