Match Recap
Nürnberg stunned Bayer Leverkusen early, racing to a 2-0 lead inside half an hour through Rafael Lubach's 13th-minute strike and Sigurd Haugen's finish on 30 minutes. Then Edmond Tapsoba took charge. The defender leveled things with goals in the 41st and 49th minutes, erasing the deficit in eight second-half minutes and turning a DFB Pokal shock into a rout. Leverkusen never let go after that. Patrik Schick restored the lead in the 70th minute, Jonas Hofmann doubled it in the 78th, and Lucas Vázquez capped a 5-2 demolition with a goal in the 89th. Seven goals, a two-goal deficit flipped, and a Nürnberg side left with nothing from a game they led for half an hour. What began as a genuine upset chance for 1. FC Nürnberg ended as one of this DFB Pokal round's most lopsided turnarounds. Watch how Tapsoba's two strikes in eight minutes swung the entire tie before Leverkusen piled on three more to finish it off.
