Timo Werner scored a first-half hat trick as Leipzig started its defense of the German Cup with an 8-0 rout of amateur team Teutonia Ottensen on Tuesday.

The German soccer federation said it had no option but to host the game in Leipzig. Leipzig beat Freiburg in a penalty shootout in last season's final to claim a first major title in the club's short history. Hamburg-based Ottensen, which plays in Germany's fourth tier, was originally supposed to host the match but was forced to look for an alternative venue as its own stadium uses artificial grass.

Werner had an underwhelming two-year stint at EPL club Chelsea and moved back to Leipzig, a club that he previously represented between 2016 and 2020.

However, his stats took a hit following his transfer to Chelsea, as he could net only 23 goals in 89 games for the Premier League side from 2020 to 2022. “Nothing to see here, just Timo Werner hitting a first-half hat trick,” said a Twitter user. Meanwhile, he managed to net three out of the four goals scored by Leipzig on Tuesday night which became a major talking point on social media.
