Semi-pro goalkeeper saves 5 penalties to beat Bundesliga team

One of the wildest upsets in the history of the German Cup took place on Tuesday night, with fourth-division FC Saarbrücken taking down Bundesliga side Fortuna Düsseldorf. Saarbrücken goalkeeper Daniel Batz came up with an outrageous five penalty saves — one in the second half, then four in the shootout.

Amateur clubs frequently beat Bundesliga clubs in the DFB-Pokal, but Saarbrücken is the first fourth-division team to ever reach the semifinals, where the club could be matched up against a giant like Bayern Munich or Bayer Leverkusen. The last team from outside the top flight to lift the cup was Hannover 96 in 1992.

It seems like every country has a big cup upset at least once a season, but Saarbrücken’s is the biggest one anywhere in recent memory.
