SV Eintracht Trier 05 vs RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig made a statement in the DFB-Pokal first round, brushing aside Eintracht Trier 6-0 in a match that was effectively decided before ten minutes had passed. The Bundesliga side raced into a two-goal cushion inside the opening six minutes, leaving the fifth-tier hosts chasing shadows for the rest of the night. Brajan Gruda opened the scoring in the 3rd minute before Willi Orbán doubled the lead just three minutes later. Trier's Sausen spurned a glimmer of hope with a missed chance right before the break, and instead it was Gianluca Pelzer turning the ball into his own net in second-half stoppage time of the first half to make it 3-0. Conrad Harder added a fourth in the 76th minute, and substitutes Antonio Nusa and Ezechiel Banzuzi completed the rout deep into stoppage time. Yellow cards went to Trier's Mateo Kritzer and Leipzig's Nicolas Seiwald, but no reds were shown. For Trier, playing in the cup for the first time in a decade, the result is a harsh reminder of the gap between the divisions, though simply hosting a Bundesliga giant will count as a memory. Leipzig, meanwhile, cruise into the next round with a routine win to open a new chapter under their coaching setup.
