BREAKING NEWS: Dortmund's DFB-Pokal quarter-final postponed by snow

Borussia Dortmund's DFB-Pokal quarter-final match at third-tier side Sportfreunde Lotte was postponed on Tuesday due to heavy snowfall.

The match had been in danger for most of the day and Dortmund's bus was even caught up in the adverse conditions upon the team's arrival in Lotte, getting stuck in mud in a field near the stadium.

Lotte qualified as a regional Westphalia representative and are regarded as one of the smallest clubs to ever get to the final eight and have already beaten Bundesliga opposition in Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen.

However, their packed stadium will have to wait for their fairytale clash until a later date which is yet to be confirmed.
