Borussia Mönchengladbach, who in the last round eliminated the almighty Bayern Munich by a humiliating 5-0, unexpectedly said goodbye to the DFB Pokal this Wednesday, in which they fell in the round of 16 by a clear 3-0 against the Hannover, German Second Division team.
It didn’t take long for the game to get complicated for Adi Hütter’s men, who after three minutes of play were already behind on the scoreboard after the goal by striker Maximiliam Beier, who did not miss a chain error by the visiting defense to establish the 1- 0.
An advantage that was in charge of doubling for Hannover, which occupies twelfth place in the German Second Division, midfielder Sebastian Kerk, who made it 2-0 after 36 minutes by converting a penalty committed by defender Marvin Friedrich after touching the ball with the hands inside the area.

A goal that did not quell Beier’s voracity, who thirteen minutes later, in the 64th minute, was able to further widen the score for Hannover with a shot that hit the post.
