>> Not often does an American play for a trophy in Europe. On May 27, two will face one another in the German Cup final.
Teenager Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund booked a place Wednesday with a 3-2 semifinal victory at Bayern Munich, coming from behind to earn its fourth consecutive berth in Germany’s second-most important competition behind the Bundesliga race (Bayern’s going to win that one). BVB lost in the final the previous three years.
Next month’s opponent: Eintracht Frankfurt, which won at Moenchengladbach on penalty kicks Tuesday. U.S. defender Timmy Chandler starts on the right side for Eintracht; he played 120 minutes Tuesday.
