Borussia Dortmund was the first team to advance to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup.

BVB won 1-0 (0-0) in Mönchengladbach after 90 minutes.

Jadon Sancho scored the goal of the evening in the 66th minute of the game.

The offensive player successfully completed a counterattack to make it 1-0 after an opposing corner kick.

“That has to be our basis.

I am proud of the team.

We have been on the pitch with a different energy in the past games.

Even if it's not always golden, but we work hard, ”said Dortmund's Marco Reus.

Team-mate Mahmoud Dahoud saw yellow-red (90 + 3) in stoppage time in the uneventful game.

The Gladbachers, on the other hand, remained without a win in their sixth competitive game in a row and threatened to end up empty-handed after losing the first leg in the Champions League last sixteen against Manchester City and crashing into midfield of the Bundesliga at the end of the season.

Max Eberl holds on to Marco Rose

Coach Marco Rose, whose move to BVB has already been determined in the summer and caused unrest at VfL, is still not up for discussion and would remain in office after another bankruptcy against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, as Max Eberl affirmed on the sidelines of the game: "I don't see the reason why it shouldn't work," said Mönchengladbach's sports director.

The earnings crisis was initially not noticeable in the empty Borussia Park.

The Gladbachers were looking for the way forward and had a huge chance to take the lead in the second minute when Marcus Thuram put the ball next to the goal from a short distance after a pass from Jonas Hofmann.

BVB wasn't even in the game, and it was over for Raphael Guerreiro.

The full-back had to go down injured in the fifth minute due to muscular problems and was replaced by Nico Schulz.

The hosts remained the more active and structured team in the period that followed, also because BVB made a lot of unnecessary ball losses in the build-up of the game.

BVB was by no means without a chance.

With a failed volley shot by Marco Reus (8th) and a good opportunity by storm giant Erling Haaland (36th) when the Norwegian was free, the black and yellow could have taken the lead.

Otherwise it was a poor first half with more duels than glamorous moments.

With more momentum, BVB came out of the locker room and immediately caused dicey moments on the Gladbach defensive.

And the Terzic-Elf was already able to cheer when Haaland met according to Reus' template (53rd).

But before that, the striker had kicked his opponent Ramy Bensebaini in the heels, and the goal was withdrawn accordingly.

Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday

But it happened 13 minutes later.

After a fateful mistake by Neuhaus at a Gladbach corner, it quickly went in the other direction via Schulz, Haaland and Reus, before Sancho completed his fourth cup goal.

BVB goalkeeper Marwin Hitz had previously prevented Bensebaini from falling behind (59th).

“The only drawback was that we didn't get the ball into the goal.

Otherwise there is little to be accused of, "Hofmann analyzed," that really hurts us.

We now have to make sure that we don't slide any further in the Bundesliga. "
