The RB Leipzig women's soccer team surprisingly crashed out of the DFB Cup in the second round at second-division side Union Berlin. In a hard-fought match, the Bundesliga club under new coach Jonas Stephan lost 0:1 (0:1) at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei and missed out on the round of 16. In the men's competition, the clubs and fan camps are always at loggerheads. There is also a rivalry in the women's game.
The Saxons had several good chances in the first half. Lydia Andrade (6th minute) and Marleen Schimmer (45.+2) missed from prime positions. The Iron Ladies did better. A header from Eleni Markou landed at the inside of the post. Dina Orschmann was able to dust it off with ease (40').
