SSV Jahn Regensburg – VfB Stuttgart 0:3 (0:2)
The VfB Stuttgart is in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup after a clear win against SSV Jahn Regensburg. Even without Alexander Nübel, Maximilian Mittelstädt or Ermedin Demirovic in his starting line-up, the Swabian Champions League starter prevailed at the bottom of the second division.
With their two goals, Enzo Millot (10th minute) and Anrie Chase (19th) quickly put VfB in the lead. Nick Woltemade (61st) rounded off the result. Stuttgart made it clear from the start that, as a first division team, they wanted to have control of the game. The Swabians’ victory was safe, also because of Regensburg’s weak defensive performance.

In the 28th minute, Christopher Lannert gave the third division team the lead. Shortly afterwards, his teammate Julian Kania (36th) extended the lead over Freiburg. After the break, SC was able to gain some hope as striker Michael Gregoritsch scored in the 63rd minute.
