Kicker's women celebrate 5th Hessen Cup victory - 2-0 in the final against Marburg!

The first half was exciting, but it was Aline Czaplicki, who scored the first goal in the 41st minute and thus made the lead. After the break, Natasa Petrov added in the 62nd minute and finally closed the sack. Even if Marburg had gone into the game as an underdog and played a league deeper, they shone with several shots on goal, but could not sink the ball on the net. The atmosphere among the several hundred spectators was tense and happy at the same time - it was the perfect setting for an exciting sporting event.

This year's cup round was not only crucial for the Kickers women, but also part of the newly structured cup mode of the 2024-25 season, in which the district cup winners can move into the competition. The quarterfinals took place this week and the opportunities for future cup applications are promising. In the classic knockout system, the best teams compete to win the Hessen Cup and step onto the big stage in the DFB Cup.

The district cup winners are played out by October 3, 2024 and play together with the teams from the Hessen League and association league for the title of the regional cup winner. This is also about honorable participation in national competitions.
