RB Leipzig U19 performs magic: Schalke defeated in stoppage time!
On August 16, 2025, RB Leipzig's U19s made a strong statement in the DFB Junior Cup. In an exciting duel against FC Schalke 04, the team triumphed 4-2 and secured their place in the round of the best 32 teams. The game took place in the Red Bull Arena and the young talents from Leipzig showed off their skills impressively.
The goals for Leipzig were scored by Yohan Kouatcha in the 10th minute and Viggo Gebel, who netted twice - in the 31st and 42nd minutes. Schalke managed to shorten the score shortly before half-time through Ben Weber (45.+1). Jonas Dieckmann brought Schalke back to 2:4 in the 81st minute before Mads Bröcker scored the last goal for Leipzig in stoppage time (90+2) and thus determined the final score. [dfb.de].
More cup newcomers and surprises
In another game, the defending champions SV Werder Bremen were surprisingly eliminated. Bremen lost 2-0 against FC St. Pauli, with Jesper Becker (55th) and Calvin Finn Rahr (74th) scoring the goals for St. Pauli. [lvz.de]. After a 4-3 penalty shootout and an inconsistent game, the South Bavarian club is not in the second round of the cup for the first time in history. The Rostock team equalized in the last minutes of regular time and then had the upper hand in the penalty shootout.
Aside from the cup games, RB Leipzig club officials announced that the new striker Rômulo, who was signed from Göztepe Izmir, was not yet in the squad for the cup games as he is currently undergoing performance tests. After completing these tests, he will start training sessions. This shows that Leipzig's team is already working on a strong line-up for the coming season.
Team changes and outlook
The changes in RB Leipzig's squad are reaching a new peak this summer. David Raum has been named the new captain, replacing his predecessor. There were also changes in various player positions, which suggests that the club wants to strategically reposition itself. Given these changes, the club believes it is well prepared for the upcoming challenges in the league and cup.
The draw for the next round of the DFB Cup will take place on August 31, 2025, and the Leipzig team hope to achieve further success. With the qualities in the U19 and the pressure to perform that pervades the entire club structures, we are optimistic about the future.
