RB Leipzig cruises to 6-0 win in DFB-Pokal debut under coach Demichelis

RB Leipzig began their DFB-Pokal campaign with a resounding 6-0 victory over Eintracht Trier, marking a confident start for new coach Martín Demichelis. The German Cup match saw the Champions League participant assert dominance from the outset against their fourth-tier opponents.

Leipzig's attacking prowess was evident early, with Brajan Gruda opening the scoring within two minutes. Willi Orban quickly added a second, effectively ending any hopes of a "cup miracle" for the home side. Despite a slight dip in tempo after the initial surge, Leipzig maintained control, limiting Trier's opportunities and extending their lead to 3-0 before halftime through Ridle Baku.

Coach Demichelis took the opportunity to make four substitutions in the second half, introducing new players like Rocco Reitz and Benjamin Henrichs. While the game's intensity lessened, Leipzig rediscovered their scoring touch in the final minutes. Conrad Harder, Antonio Nusa, and Ezechiel Banzuzi each found the net, completing the comprehensive win. The team now shifts focus to their Bundesliga opener at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
