MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany (Reuters) - Eintracht Frankfurt won 7-6 in a penalty shoot-out at Borussia Moenchengladbach after a 1-1 draw on Tuesday to reach the German Cup final for the first time in 11 years and set up a showdown with either holders Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund. Ibrahima Traore found some space in first half stoppage time to cross and Jonas Hofmann stabbed in at the far post to equalise. The hosts improved in the second half but created few chances in a lacklustre game that meandered towards penalties. Eintracht, who lost the 2006 final to Bayern, won the last of their four German Cups in 1988. Bayern host Dortmund on Wednesday for a spot in the May 27 final in Berlin.
