Hannover’s Impossible Cup

OTD E0204 — 23 May 1992: Hannover 96 became the first and still only second-division club to win the DFB-Pokal, beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 4 3 on penalties after a goalless final in Berlin. This episode traces Hannover’s seven round run through Bochum, Dortmund, Uerdingen, Karlsruhe, Werder Bremen and Gladbach, Jörg Sievers’ penalty heroics, Michael Schjønberg’s winning kick, the wider rarity of lower-division cup winners, and why Hannover 1992 remains Germany’s great Pokal miracle.Ideas: [email protected]
