The German Cup champions, the Frankfurt team "Eintracht," started the season terribly. In the German Supercup final, Frankfurt's footballers lost 0:5 to Munich's "Bayern," and in yesterday's first German Cup match, they experienced a real shock. "Eintracht" lost 1:2 to the fourth-tier team "Ulm" in the German league and ended their title defense in the first round. This is the first time since 1996 that the German Cup champions have been eliminated after the first round. Back then, "Kaiserslautern" lost to "Greuther Furth." The "Ulm" team celebrated their historic victory with goals from Steffen Kienle and Vitalij Lux. "Eintracht" found a glimmer of hope in the 90th minute with a goal from Goncalo Paciencia. In these matches, "Eintracht" controlled the ball for 73% of the time, but it was not enough to secure a victory.
